Other: Jefferson Wilson has been abusing not only his two horses but another horse on the property named Dexter. He hit him with a whip and carrot stick multiple times on Monday night in the arena and there are marks on Dexter. This went on for 30 minutes. Dexter’s owners know and haven’t said a word. I know you guys have already been contacted but I want the whole situation investigated. He is going to move his horses Friday because he knows you guys are investigating him and wants to try to move them to where you can’t find them to check on them. He knows you guys are closing in and once you see footage it will be in trouble. Please help these horses before it’s too late. Multiple people in the barn have offered Jefferson a chance to sell them so they are taken care of and he wouldn’t. Because he knows he wouldn’t get them back.
