“I saw more than 10 HORSES IN ONE PEN TRYING TO ESCAPE the
quagmire, but their legs were suctioned deep into the mud,”
Friday said, adding she also saw “30 HORSES LAYING DOWN IN THE
MUD THE ENTIRE THREE HOURS” she was at the facility.

horses penned in areas where they were unable to navigate out of
a knee-deep mixture of mud, manure, and urine. Friday, a wild
horse adopter and long-time horsewoman, reports of seeing 30
horses laying down in mud and excrement for the entire three
hours in which she was at the facility. ”They never got up,” she
states.

horses in her Cloud productions for PBS. “I don’t understand how
