HORSES SEIZED FOR NEGLECT DURING EXECUTION OF SEARCH WARRANT IN YAMHILL COUNTY

Image
  Yamhill Co. Sheriff's Office In early February, Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office deputies learned that Silver Oaks Saddlebreds, a horse farm located at 8350 NE Hendricks Road in rural Carlton, was without water as it had been shut off for non-payment.  The property contained almost 50 horses.  Silver Oaks Saddlebred is owned by Susan Swango, 82 years of age.  The Sheriffs’ Office is familiar with Swango and her property based on previous animal neglect complaints.  During an investigation approximately 5 months prior, a veterinarian assessed the horses on the property.  At that time evidence did not rise to the level of probable cause for an arrest or search warrant. With potable water now unavailable to the farm, deputies became concerned that Swango may be unable to provide her horses minimum care. Oregon law states that animals must be provided with care sufficient to preserve their health and well-being, including open or adequate access to potable water in sufficient quantity
