Jennifer Bryant, the manager of Chaparral Ranch, has been charged with animal cruelty after a horse named Honey died from malnutrition and heat stroke. Honey was found in extremely poor condition, emaciated and unable to stand. A veterinarian had recommended a specific diet and follow-up care, which Bryant allegedly neglected. Reports of abuse led to an inspection by animal control, where they found Honey infested with lice. Despite her claims of poor health being due to allergies, Honey was ultimately euthanized due to her deteriorating state.
Jennifer Bryant, 25, the manager of Chaparral Ranch, faces a misdemeanor count of failing to provide an animal with proper care after a horse named Honey was found emaciated.
The officers found a sickly Honey infested with lice, and a veterinarian advised that Honey needed a diet of alfalfa hay and a follow-up appointment.
Prosecutors said they found no evidence that Bryant scheduled a follow-up appointment with a veterinarian and did not provide Honey with special hay.
Due to the horse's condition, Honey was euthanized that day after being found unable to stand and very thin.
