Animal Control officers discovered the alleged neglect while inspecting horses belonging to Koy as part of her probation requirements, Nygren said.

Koy is serving probation for a 2010 case where she was arrested and charged with several counts of cruel treatment of horses in her care, Nygren said.

 Nygren reminds residents if they, or anyone they know, is in need of assistance in caring for their pets, the McHenry County Animal Control Office and/or local pet adoption centers offer guidance and advice.

Bond for Koy was set at $10,000, and she is scheduled to appear in court May 15.
