WEATHERFORD (July 3, 2009)--Authorities in North Texas are investigating the deaths of 11 horses, possibly from a lack of food and water.
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said 40 horses were on the 3,000-acre ranch near Lake Weatherford.
He says nine horses were found dead Wednesday and two were euthanized Thursday.
Fowler says the owner of the horses leased the land and hired someone to feed and provide water to the horses.
"That's when things went wrong,” he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Fowler says there was no water and the well was broken.
He declined to name the owner or the person hired to care for the horses.
He said that once the owner found out what happened, he got a veterinarian to the horses and had the well repaired.

I guess he never went to his ranch. Why have a ranch if you live someplace else and never go to the ranch. Both of them need brought up on charges--the owner and the "caretaker" of the horses. He did a little action to late. Hope someone who knows how to care for horses gets to take them and care for them.
