BONNEVILLE COUNTY - The horses seized yesterday in Fremont County are being taken care of in Bonneville County at a Horse Rescue Center.

Compared to the condition they were brought in, the horses are doing a lot better, but its still going to be a long recovery process.

"It'll probably take them a good 3 months to start looking extremely well," says Phoenix Equestrian Rescue Center Founder, Brandi Crosby.

Three of the four horses are being kept outside. The fourth one, with the severely injured foot, is kept at a stable inside because of his poor condition.

"They didn't even bring him out of the trailer, they didn't want us to see what kind of condition he was in," says Darla Wyatt.

Originally, he was going to be euthanized.

"They just didn't want us to know that," says Wyatt.

So the ladies from the center snuck a peak inside the trailer.

"When I saw his feet, it's the first time I ever seen feet like that, and I started balling," says Wyatt.

And the decision, to keep the horses, was made.

"We, here at Phoenix, will do anything to save a horse," says Wyatt.

They're keeping all four horses to help them recover.

"They deserve a good life too," says Crosby.

But with our tough economic times, its getting harder for the rescue center to help. Especially when more people are dropping off their horses because they can't cover the rising price of hay.

"We go through 20 ton a month, and at 200 a ton that's 4 thousand dollars a month, and that's just for hay expenses," says Crosby. "Things are gonna get a lot worse. This month alone, I think our vet bill has been $14,000 anything helps."

The foot on that fourth horse is going to take years to repair.

The center also offers a 4H program for troubled kids, but they're looking for your help or donations to keep these programs running.

Since Phoenix rescue is a non-profit group, your donations are tax deductible.
