May 2, 2018 | 4:06 PM

STIRLING – RCMP have laid charges in the investigation into two horses that were being boarded on a Stirling farm, that were sold for processing.

On April 28, RCMP received a report of the horses sold without the owner’s permission.

The horse’s owner had been keeping the animals at the Stirling area farm for five years, however she was informed by a relative that the owner had passed away April 9.

She was then told she would have to find another facility to board them by April 28.

Police say a suitable facility was found, and on April 28 the woman went to collect her horses, only to be told that they had been taken away and sold.
