Indiana county investigating deaths of 2 horses

BUNKER HILL, Ind. — Northern Indiana officials are investigating the deaths of two horses used at a farm to provide therapy to troubled teens.

Miami County Sheriff Deputy Casey Bailey told the Kokomo Tribune that he’s working with the Miami County Animal Shelter on the investigation into the death of one horse at the Full Quiver Farms Equine Mentoring Ministry in Bunker Hill and the death of a second horse removed from the site.

Full Quiver Farms owner Leanna Sharp told the newspaper the horses had been having ongoing health issues and she did everything she could to make them well. She says the horses weren’t getting better so she called for help.

Horse enthusiasts said they found one horse that was partially eaten by pigs and a second near death.
