SLEEPY EYE, MINN. When sheriff s deputies took Candi Lemarr s horses from her, she knew just where to turn: social media.
On Nov. 23, Brown County authorities seized seven horses, three donkeys and a pony from Sapphire Equestrian Farm near this south-central Minnesota city, where Lemarr raises thoroughbreds, runs a riding school and trains high school and middle school riding teams. Official files give few details on why the horses were seized, simply stating that there was a complaint of some animals being underfed and malnourished.
Within days, Lemarr was making her case on Facebook and other social media platforms, claiming the seizure was unjustified and seeking support to get her animals back.
