Authorities in North Texas are investigating the deaths of 11 horses, possibly from a lack of food and water.
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said 40 horses were on the 3,000-acre ranch near Lake Weatherford.
He says nine horses were found dead Wednesday and two were euthanized Thursday.
Fowler says the owner of the horses leased the land and hired someone to feed and provide water to the horses.
"That's when things went wrong,” he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Fowler says there was no water and the well was broken.
He declined to name the owner or the person hired to care for the horses.
He said that once the owner found out what happened, he got a veterinarian to the horses and had the well repaired.

That's sad to see so many horses died. Sometime good help is hard to find. The help will start out doing good and then they get tired of doing the job and once things get out of hand the help trys to get back on top of things. If the help knew that he or she was not going to take care of the animals he or she should have not took the job. To the owner of the horses next time choose your helper carefully. Horses need alot of attention and care and with the hot summer days they need plenty of water. I hope the caretaker of the animals be punished for what they done.

unfortunate, but happens every day ---- because the "animal rights" people have driven every horse slaughter and processing plant in the US out of business -- now we have hundreds of thousands of old, unrideable, unwanted horses suffering needlessly rather than going back into the food chain like a "wild" horse would. Some solution.
