The owners, who live in Grand Forks, say they were surprised and upset to find out about the death of the horse through the media. They have not spoken to trainer Mike Anderson yet but say they do not hold any ill-will towards him.
Despite questions about how the horse was injured, the couple says they have had at least three horses trained by him with no issues.
The SPCA will be in Keremeos next week to investigate the animal’s death.
