The appellant appealed a Statement of Account (SOA) issued by Animal Welfare Services for the costs of providing necessaries to 14 horses removed from her property.

The appellant argued that the transportation, boarding, veterinary, and farrier charges were excessive and unnecessary.

The Animal Care Review Board reviewed the evidence, including affidavits from the regional supervisor and the attending veterinarian, and found the charges to be reasonable and necessary to relieve the animals' distress.

The Board confirmed the revised SOA in the amount of $25,126.23.
