Epona Equine Rescue received a boost Tuesday in the form of a $10,000 donation that will be used to care for neglected horses recently seized in Gage County. The donation came from the Wayne Orin King Revocable Trust, and was presented at the Gage County Sheriff’s Office. The donation was to care for 36 horses confiscated from the Blue Valley Veterinary Clinic and Pickrell Veterinary Clinic in Gage County on Aug. 17. Veterinarian Jennafer Glaesemann has been charged so far with 37 counts of livestock neglect after an estimated 15-17 horses died under her care. “I wish I could give more, 36 horses is a lot.”Investigator Tim Hansen with the Gage County Sheriff’s Office said neither Epona Horse Rescue or the county is making money from the seized horses, but the care and recovery of the horses is costly.
