Kentucky Horse Bill Passes Committee

KENTUCKY....
The Kentucky House Agriculture and Small Business Committee has approved a bill aimed at creating a state board to oversee health and safety issues for the many breeds of horses in Kentucky. The bill’s supporters say Kentucky is known as the world’s horse capital, yet there are sometimes instances of horse abuse and neglect that need to be addressed. If passed, the bill would create the Kentucky Equine Health and Welfare Board which would help develop regional centers to care for unwanted and abused horses. It also would create a voluntary certification system for equine rescue and retirement operations.
