I encourage anyone with concerns for an animals welfare, horse or otherwise, to contact proper local authorities.  While I am willing to provide assistance to animal codes enforcement officers in my area, please keep in mind that I am simply an individual with a small horse rescue and AM NOT  to be confused, in any way, with an "enforcement agency".

You can report suspected abuse or neglect by contacting your local animal shelter, humane society or local animal codes enforcement office.  Depending on where you live, some of these organizations/offices may or may not be available.
