Kentucky: 2 horses rescued from area where 20 others killed

PRESTONSBURG, Ky., (AP) – A pregnant mare and her yearling colt have been rescued from a strip mine site in eastern Kentucky where 20 horses were found fatally shot earlier this month. The two horses were collected by a rescue organization on Friday and taken to the Kentucky Humane Society. The Humane Society’s top executive says the colt was fine but the mare was very thin and showing signs of stress and is being treated. Authorities say 20 horses were found dead along U.S. 23 over a six-day span. A $20,000 reward is being offered for information about the shootings. No arrests have been made.
