LANE COUNTY, Ore. Horse owners and advocates are speaking out after a Creswell woman convicted of 11 counts of animal neglect avoided jail time again, despite violating her probation agreement.
Gwenyth Davies reportedly missed nearly all her payments and was only sporadically sending photos of the few animals she has been allowed to have.
Horse lovers say that cases like Davies happen all too often. This is an all too common situation, said Oregon Horse Rescue co-founder David Kelly. Horses have stunningly little right to a decent life under Oregon law. The worst I heard of was someone being denied horse ownership for five years.

CRESWELL, Ore. – A Creswell woman sentenced in a massive horse neglect case more than a year ago will soon be back in court over claims she violated her probation.
Gwenyth Davies, 50, was required to follow specific conditions and pay restitution of nearly $50,000 in monthly increments in order to avoid jail time. She pleaded guilty to 11 counts of second-degree animal neglect in early 2020.
A total of 61 horses were removed from her property in October 2019 as part of the investigation. Authorities said a veterinarian found that the horses were not receiving the minimum care standards under Oregon law.
