AMH
ID Number: NV1
Lot: 4-5 year-old mare
Found:
June 24, 2009, 70-80
miles north of Tonopah, in the desert
Discovered by a rancher who went to gather his horses. The mare
jumped a fence to get in
with his band of horses, then jumped out again. Rancher was finally able
to corral the stray
and contacted a state brand inspector.
Condition: Brand cut out of skin to obscure ownership
As of 6/26/09, mare was being held and cared for at a sales yard
in Fallon. It is not docile.
In order to give antibiotics and treat the
wound, the horse must be put in a livestock working chute. The animal
will be advertised for six days as an estray in an attempt to find the
owner.
If no one comes forward, it will be put up for adoption. The
brand inspector says it will be difficult to find a home for this animal
because it is so flighty. They
work with horse rescues
in California and in Las Vegas, but they are
full.
Nevada State
Brand Inspector is contacting area newspapers about the incident and
asking
for the public's help to see if they can find
out who the owner is.
If they can determine who abused and dumped this horse, the owner is
subject to a
minimum fine of $1,000.
