ALBION, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have rescued five starving horses from their owner in Boone County.

On Monday members of the Nebraska Humane Society equine team took the horses away for veterinary care, food, training and eventual adoption. The owner surrendered the horses.

The team members say they noticed the carcasses of several dead horses on the property.

The horses’ owner has been charged, but Boone County authorities have not released his or her name.
