Following an investigation led by Lancaster County SPCA Director Susan Martin, personnel from that organization removed 10 horses from the rescue’s property.

Davis and her son Joseph McMillen received 12 citations for animal cruelty. However, on July 29, all 10 horses were returned to Davis, Martin said.
