THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THIS RURAL DALLAS COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD, LIKE NIKKI REYNOLDS, SAY THE HORSES HAVE BEEN A NUISANCE FOR A LONG TIME. STANDING IN THE ROAD, EATING NEIGHBORS HAY AND GRASS AND LEAVING THEIR FECES EVERYWHERE. THESE HORSES ARE ON THE ROAD ROUTINELY, ALMOST DAILY SPRING, FALL AND WINTER.

Eight of the 46 horses seized from a rural Dallas County farm were brought back to the property over the weekend, according to neighbors.Their owner, Linda Kilbourne, was charged with livestock neglect in early November. “This has been an issue since the day we moved in, which was 13 years ago,” said Niki Reynolds, who lives across the road from Kilbourne’s farm.Reynolds saw the horses on the property on Saturday and was able to take a picture of one of the stallions. Reynolds said it was a relief when these horses were seized by the Dallas County Sheriff and the Animal Rescue League.”These horses are on the road routinely. Almost daily, spring, fall and winter. We are lucky no one has hit one yet,” she said.She had hoped they would get the proper care they needed, and the farm would be shut down. On Friday, the Dallas County Attorney reached a deal with Kilbourne, allowing eight of the horses to be given to a third party. The other 37 would stay in the custody of the ARL. One of those horses has died.Neighbors believe the third party is a friend of Kilbourne’s and is the one who hauled them back to her farm. “I do feel like the county attorney dropped the ball by making this deal,” Reynolds said. “To watch these animals languish and starvation and injury and sickness and pain and literally be left to die a slow death is horrendous.”Attempts to reach the county attorney and Kilbourne for comment were unsuccessful.
