(Editor’s note: the author of this letter wanted to make sure that people knew she was trying to keep this neighborly and friendly, but has obvious concerns)

Please publish one of the attached photos of a guy feeding whole apples to my 29 year old horse with no teeth.  The man lives in my neighborhood and is ignoring the signs not to feed the horses.  The oldest horse can only eat soft food since he can get food stuck in his throat. I have about a 100 night vision photos of the man feeding each horse 3 whole apples on April 16th at 9:50PM.

A couple of months ago I had to have the Vet come out on a Sunday because my old horse, Hootie, wouldn’t eat anything and seemed to be in distress.  We thought he might have something stuck in his throat.  They ran a tube up his nose to his stomach and it seemed to clear.  Unfortunately it was an emergency call on a weekend that cost me over $1400.   This was most likely the result of someone feeding him over the fence.

I’d like to appeal to my neighbors not to feed the horses because they could kill them.  I’ve put up cameras, motion detection lights, and many signs.  I’ve also alerted the Sheriffs dept. and hope that you will publish these photos so the man will notice and realize what he’s doing and stop.

Thank you for all your support throughout the years.”
