Two horses on Broadway Road in Darien Center believed to be abandoned

By Billie Owens

A caller reports two apparently abandoned horses at 746 Broadway Road in Darien Center. The caller was going to approach the horses and try to give them some food.

There's a barn and house on the property, and they appear abandoned as well.

"I am familiar with that address," an animal control officer tells dispatch.

A Sheriff's deputy is also responding.

UPDATE 2:18 p.m.: The horses are gone, therefore the animal control officer is not responding. Their owner was looking for a place to relocate them, according to the animal control officer, and was apparently successful. The horse owners had been renting the property and no longer live there. The landlord allegedly told people that the horses would probably be removed today. The deputy is adding narrative to his report and will be clearing the scene.

I'm guessing the caller reported her concern some time after noticing the situation and returning home, with the intention of going back with some feed.

We don't know how much time elapsed in the interim. Once she placed the call, the deputy answered it but found the horses were no longer there.
