Ken_19: When is the court date? The article doesn't mention that..
next month it says, looks like they have plenty of local help/money to bail the animals out of jail, at least it's not another bundy ranch deal, the farmer says quote'
I realize the reports have been vague about what happened in court yesterday, so let me help clear that up. The short answer is all the charges still stand. There were some amendments to correct various parts but that is all that happened. Then they pushed the next court date out into next month. The truth is there has not been an opportunity for discovery and until that happens it will not be clear why all this happened in the first place. As we get closer to the next hearing, a friend of West Wind Acres is planning a rally dinner.
As a result, we have been charged with 13 misdemeanors for animal endagerment. Three of the horses were transported to a nearby rescue farm. The entire event was released to the media, permantly damaging the reputation of the farm, before we were able to find out all the facts and defend the allegations in open court.

Schenectady County, New York – Earlier this month, a family farm in rural New York was raided by police after the owners were cited on a number of trumped up regulatory violations. Joshua Rockwood, the owner of the farm, is being accused of mistreating his animals, and the local government has began confiscating some of them.
Police initially visited Rockwood’s property on February 25th to investigate reports of unlicensed working dogs, weeks before the raid. Unfortunately, Rockwood voluntarily showed local police around his property, which he had not yet tended to that day because of their unexpected interruption. After showing them around, they began to critically assess every aspect of the farm, writing a number of citations for arbitrary offenses.
The very next day, Rockwood had a veterinarian visit the farm to check on the animals to confirm that they were well taken care of and in good health.
