Florida 11-year-old shot 2 teens at football practice, police say Deputies said someone stole two Paint Tennessee Walking horses, one male and one female, after cutting the barbed wire fence.

It turned out the horse's name was Pinto. ALE said the barbed wire had become woven through Pinto's tail and spiraled around his back leg to the point where he could no longer walk.

The horse was found around 10 a.m. Thursday morning by a local mail carrier. The horse was wrapped up in barbed wire and lying in a ditch in Muldrow, which is west of Fort Smith.

When police arrived they found a brown and white 16-year-old horse named Mars MC lying on its side in a muddy, watery ditch, ensnared in what appeared to be several feet of barbed wire.

Fences often ensnare and kill large animals; woven wire with barbed wire on the top, like that on Horse Prairie, is particularly lethal.
