Cincinnati's River Downs Race Track has established a "surrender stall" program for horse owners who can no longer care for their animals. The program was established in response to the removal of six allegedly malnourished horses from a farm operated by former Thoroughbred horse trainer Chad Moore, said River Downs Publicity Director John Engelhardt.
Clermont County animal control officials removed six allegedly malnourished horses, one pony and one donkey from Moore's farm last month. The carcasses of at least 10 horses were also found on the property.
Two mares were euthanized shortly after the removal and the surviving animals are receiving rehabilitative care. Moore has been charged with two counts of animal abandonment and two counts of animal cruelty.
The new program will get under way when racing resumes at River Downs in April, Engelhardt said
