LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The reward for information in the deaths of 20 horses in eastern Kentucky has grown to $23,000.
At least five belonged to the family that found them.
In December, an animal rescue group told WDRB the horses were scattered over a large area, and it appears they were hunted with a low-caliber rifle. Several horses found running wild in the area that apparently survived the shooting attack were rescued and brought to Willow Hope Farm in Simpsonville, Kentucky.
A pregnant mare and her colt that's still nursing were rescued by the Kentucky Humane Society after 20 other horses were shot to death in the eastern part of the state. The mare and her colt are now being cared for at Willow Hope Farm in Simpsonville, Ky.
The reward will be given to the person who provides information leading to an arrest and conviction in the deaths of the horses.
