| Impact Report | Pasture Visit due to a Dead Horse: This agent performed a Pasture Visit at the property of Chris Shelby in Sandia Park, NM at his request because he had a horse die and the other got sick. The evaluation included a walking observation of a 1.5 acre pasture. There were no identifiable poisonous plants and the only evidence of foraging was of native grasses. Farther questioning revealed that the Shelby’s had fed some moldy Bermuda grass hay and the horse that died had been in the pasture two days and the other horse was in the pasture one day. He was also sick. I consulted veterinarian Dr. Jerry Casper and let him talk to Mr. Shelby and Dr. Casper’s opinion was that the hay was responsible for the death of the first horse and not to feed any more to the other horse, which lived. There was no chance to perform an autopsy, since the dead horse had already been cremated. Mr. Shelby was given an order form for Weeds of the West, since he observed it during my evaluation of his pasture |
