Four malnourished horses rescued in eastern Nebraska

OMAHA, Neb. (AP)--The Nebraska Humane Society has rescued four malnourished horses from a farm in rural Douglas County.

The animals were found with their ribs, hips and backbones protruding from their skin.

The Humane Society's Kristie Biodrowski says the horses didn't have access to food, and their scant amount of water was dirty when they were rescued. She expects them to survive and be available for adoption in a few months.

The Douglas County sheriff's office is considering whether to file charges.
