When a call went out about horses that may need some help, a mother and daughter answered the call and left the property determined to make sure all 15 horses could be rescued.
Fifteen-year-old Shayla Hilderbrant and her mother Michelle Hilderbrant knew they had to do something when they heard about starving horses not far from where they live.
“They’re horses, why should they be treated that way,” Shayla Hilderbrant asked.
They showed up at the house on Ewing Chapel Road near New Hope Road in Gwinnett County Monday and took pictures of 15 horses, including two pregnant ones.
“They were just really skinny,” Shayla Hilderbrant said.
They called animal control when they said they felt the horses were being neglected.
“Plastic all over the enclosure. No grass No water,” Michelle Hilderbrant said.
Neighbors told Johnson that animal control has visited the property over the years because of complaints.
“Neighbors didn’t seem to think that there was going to be much done about it again,” Michelle Hilderbrant explained.
