Bluebonnet Awarded 55 Horses
Bluebonnet Awarded 55 Horses and One Donkey in Brazoria County Cruelty Case
August 28, 2023; Brazoria County, Texas:
Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society was awarded 55 horses and one donkey from a neglect and cruelty case in Brazoria County, Texas. These horses were part of a large case involving both cattle and horses, and Bluebonnet had worked with veterinarian Dr. Kris Anderson and the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Department on this case.
Taking in 56 animals at once is a huge, and very expensive, undertaking – but it is why we exist. Right now, we estimate that the initial veterinary care for these horses will be over $20,000 – and that is with our veterinarian donating part of her work.
Since many of these horses are not halter broke, we will also need to pay trainers to work with them so they’re able to be handled.
And of course, there are also many other expenses we incur in handling such a large case. If you are able, please donate – this is the largest case we’ve ever been involved in. You can donate via Paypal or you may mail a check to BEHS, PO Box 632, College Station, TX 77841.
We also want to thank the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office, Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office – Animal Control, Sweeny Fire and Rescue, River’s End Fire Dept., Equine Mobile Veterinary Services: Kris Anderson DVM, the Brazoria County Attorney’s Office, and the Bluebonnet volunteers all of who have worked to get these horses safe. Thank you – you have made a huge difference in the lives of these horses.
