Sheila Kinville has been charged with mistreating five horses. She is accused of not feeding the horses enough, not trimming their hooves, not giving them proper exercise and keeping them in dirty stalls.

SPCA agent Peter Saunders said the agency is not recommending fines. He said they want to continue a program of probation for Kinville and rehabilitation for the horses.

Saunders said neglecting the hooves was especially serious because it can lead to inflammation and permanent crippling. In this case, he said, its unlikely any of the horses suffered permanent injury.
