This is a great step forward in KY!!
As many of you know, the case of abused and abandoned horses belonging to the Borells brought to light problems that exist in Kentucky that hinder getting proper help for these horses. One problem is that the current laws don't properly protect horses, so Fox Hill Farm hired an attorney who is working toward getting these laws changed.
A second problem is that there is no place to house and care for horses who are in the midst of abuse investigations.

There are enough transportation companies and vets in KY, that I do not think these are issues. The big problem is a place to keep them till the courts release them.
