(SULLIVAN CO.) - Police are waiting to see if criminal charges could be filed after a horse was found in bad shape.
Sullivan County Sheriff's deputies were notified about the animal around 11 a.m. Sunday, when a caller reported the horse was walking down a county road. Police said the horse was very skinny with its ribs, hips, and backbones visible.
The state veterinarian was contacted and confirmed the horse to be in poor condition.
The Sullivan County Humane Society was also alerted and the horse was taken to Horse Shoe Equine Rescue in Terre Haute.
At this time, police are not releasing details about the horse's owner as the investigation is still ongoing.
Police say depending on the state vet's final report, charges could be filed.
