Florida law enforcement authorities hope the public can help identify who shot a Miniature Horse grazing in a pasture.

David Bristow, public information director for the Manatee County, Florida, Sheriff’s Office, said an owner in Palmetto reported April 18 that her Miniature Horse had been shot sometime during the overnight hours of April 17. The owner discovered the horse, valued at $1,500, when she went into the pasture to check on the animals.

Bristow declined further comment.

As the investigation continues, anyone with information about the incident should call the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office at 941/747-3011, ext. 2551, or Crime Stoppers at 866/634-TIPS (8477)
