A Maryland horse rescue is seeking volunteers and materials to assist in the care of 26 allegedly malnourished horses removed from a Garrett County farm on June 17.

Animal welfare authorities removed the horses along with other livestock after receiving a tip about their condition, said Denise Clatterbuck Lohr, animal control officer for the Garrett County Humane Society. The horses are currently under rehabilitative care at the Days End Farm Horse Rescue, said Sue Mitchell, the rescue's director of development.

The removal is part of an ongoing investigation, Lohr said. No charges have been filed.
