JOHNSTON, Iowa [KCCI] —A Dallas County woman accused of neglecting dozens of horses on her property is pleading not guilty to charges of livestock neglect. Linda Kilbourne, of Johnston, had 46 horses seized from her Dallas County property in early November. KCCI reports Kilbourne’s defense team is now requesting the State disclose any evidence. This includes Kilbourne’s prior criminal records, statements and testimony before a grand jury. Court documents also say Kilbourne is not requesting a hearing at this time.

Officials say many of the 46 animals seized were severely injured and malnourished. One of those horses died despite efforts to save it. Some horses have returned to the property under the care of a third party. The rest are now being cared for by the Animal Rescue League.
