Default 70 Starving horses found just south of Lexington, KY

Jessamine County Humane Society (just south of Lexington) found 70 starving horses on a farm. The horses have been moved to decent pasture and are now being cared for. You can see the story at www.wkyt.com There is also contact info if you would like contribute a few bucks to help pay for their care.

The grass is finally greening up here in Lexington (cut the lawn for the first time yesterday), about a good 2 weeks later than normal. But pastures are thin and hard-used from a mean winter. I'm sure more horses will be found in trouble over the next month or so.
