CLARENDON – Four horses and a donkey that were underweight and in poor condition with overgrown hoofs were removed on Monday from a Clarendon property by Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester.

Lollypop Farm was joined by Animal Emergency Response Team members, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office and State Police. The horses and donkey were seized after the owner of the animals failed to comply with the officer’s previous request to obtain care for the animals, Lollypop Farm said.

No arrest has been made in this case, but charges are pending, Lollypop Farm said in a news release.
