Beth Hoskins, the New York farm operator found guilty of mistreating dozens of Morgan Horses, received her sentence last week.

In March 2010, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Serving Erie County removed 73 allegedly neglected horses from Hoskins’ Aurora, N.Y., farm. The SPCA alleged the animals were living in filth in several barns, thin, and dehydrated. The horses were placed under SPCA care.

Hoskins was later charged with 74 counts of animal cruelty under the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law. She pleaded not guilty.

Over the course of the next three years, one of the horses in foster care under SPCA auspices died. Meanwhile, Hoskins sought the return of several of her surviving horses and has been pitted against the SPCA in a civil suit over the cost of the care and maintenance of horses connected to the criminal suit. That civil case remains pending
