Public Eye

Reader Ariel Wisch sent this out this morning on the horse that ran away late in May in the upper Arroyo Seco in Pasadena after slipping on a trail and losing her rider underneath the footbridge to JPL. We covered the story; lots of other media picked up on it; sheriff's helicopters and other law enforcement joined equestrians in the search:

Sad news to report - Lilly, the horse who went missing on May 24th has been found today, July 7th, deceased. She was found by Rose Bowl Rider member Suzanne Douglas on her walk from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to Rose Bowl Riders. Suzanne and the Pasadena Humane Society seem to think that she fell over the side of the trail and got the rope/reins caught around her neck very tightly and maybe broke her neck or was strangled.

Thank you to everyone who searched, posted flyers, sent emails, posted Lilly on their sites and wrote articles for local papers.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her owner, Leslie.
