Two starving and abandoned horses are found in Luther and now the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office is busy trying to figure who owns them.

Once the owner is identified, they could face charges of animal cruelty and abandonment.

“I kind of knew that they were working with it, but, of course, you might know on the day that it all comes together is going to have to be the day that it's pouring rain that we have to go move them,” Natalee Cross of Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue said.

She loaded up the horses and brought them to the rescue facility, but they didn't have far to go.

“They're in fair to poor condition,” she said.

At Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue they will get checked out by a veterinarian and get any medical attention they need, as well as food -- something the ribs poking out of their sides are clearly begging to receive.

Someone called the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office after the horses were wandering around in the road and starving. Nobody could find the owner, and once Cross got the go ahead from the sheriff to pick up the animals, she didn't let the rain stop her.

“This was a nice way to start my day or end my day so to speak,” she said.

And it is a new start for these horses.
