A written statement from Adams County, Wisconsin, Sheriff Sam Wollin said investigators visited a Strongs Prairie farm to conduct a welfare check on horses there on Nov. 1. Upon arrival, deputies discovered 34 horses in various stages of alleged ill health and malnutrition. One horse found down in a paddock was euthanized by a veterinarian.  Investigators also found two other horses’ remains at the scene, Wollin’s statement said. An initial investigation indicated the horses died from malnutrition and lack of care, he said.

Following a full investigation, law enforcement personnel seized the live horses. They are currently receiving rehabilitative care, Wollin said
