Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!

Millard County sheriff's deputies are trying to find whoever abandoned a horse in Utah's western desert. The horse was found June 27 near a gravel pit on U.S. 6/50, about 30 miles west of Delta. Deputies said the 7-year-old horse was "in really bad shape" and so the Bureau of Land Management responded with a veterinarian.

"They were able to just walk him into the trailer, and they knew he wasn't a wild horse," said Lisa Reid, a spokeswoman for the BLM in Fillmore.

The horse was emaciated and is now being nursed back to health at the BLM's wild horse facility in Delta. The horse had a brand, but deputies said no ownership could be determined.
