News briefs from California's Central Coast
Associated Press
BUELLTON, Calif. (AP) - County investigators raided Slick Gardner's horse ranch again to begin seizure of at least 100 allegedly neglected wild mustangs.
A team of about 20 Santa Barbara County investigators, accompanied by wild horse wranglers and veterinarians, showed up at the ranch Wednesday to remove the horses. About a dozen horses were transferred to local ranches by the end of the day.
It was the second wave of raids at the Gardner ranch, where about 600 wild horses roam. The raid was part evidence-gathering of alleged neglect and abuse and part rescue effort.
The latest operation, expected to last several days, is nearly identical to a Sept. 4 raid that transferred 70 of the sickest horses, mostly mares and foals, to a local sanctuary. Two horses died several days after their transfer to Return to Freedom American Wild Horse Sanctuary.
Gardner attorney Steve Balash had sought an administrative hearing Wednesday to decide whether the county can keep the horses that were removed Sept. 4. The second raid was a surprise to Gardner, the lawyers said.
"He is utterly baffled," Balash said. "He is feeding the horses, he does have people working out there."
District Attorney Thomas Sneddon said there was evidence some of the horses weren't being fed properly.
"What are we supposed to do, just sit around and wait because there's a hearing set? He's upset? Well, that's life," Sneddon said.
Five months ago, county Animal Services began an animal cruelty investigation after receiving complaints that Gardner wasn't feeding his wild horses, which were gathered in Nevada by the federal Bureau of Land Management.

Horse ranch hearing begins
Matt Cota
Santa Barbara, CA, Oct. 1 - Over the past month, 167 wild horses have been seized from the Gardner Ranch in Buellton, and the lead investigator in the case described some of the conditions she observed at the ranch at a hearing in Santa Barbara.
"I observed hazardous fencing, hazardous enclosures, debris, broken boards, overcrowding, feed not spread out enough," says investigator Laura Cleaves.
Cleaves supervised the roundup at Slick Gardner's ranch in Buellton, and claims many of the horses were malnourished and action needed to be taken immediately, or many of the wild horses would die. A veterinarian hired by Santa Barbara County also testified that many of the wild horses brought to Gardner Ranch from Nevada were taking a turn for the worse.
Now that the horses have been removed, Gardner could have to pay for the costs of the raid, and even if charges aren't filed, the horses may never be returned to Gardner's ranch.
"Mr. Gardner is not entitled to have the horses returned to him," says prosecutor Mag Nicola.
However, Gardner's defense attorney says the horses weren't in imminent danger, and that a legal hearing should have taken place before the seizure took place.
On Thursday, a judge in Santa Maria will hear testimony about the validity of the search warrant in the case, and the hearing will continue next Thursday in Santa Barbara.
While under investigation, Slick Gardner has not been arrested or charged with any crime.

SLICK GARDNER was charged with animal cruelty, grand theft, and obstruction of justice last week by the District Attorney’s office. Gardner made headlines last year when his Santa Ynez Valley neighbors
complained he wasn’t feeding a herd of wild horses he’d taken under his care. County law enforcement responded with two raids that rounded up more than 100 horses. Gardner, a candidate for Third District supervisor, maintains his innocence.

SHRINKING SLICK? The national animal rights group PETA has demanded that Santa Ynez rancher and unsuccessful 3rd District supervisorial candidate Slick Gardner — who faces animal cruelty charges for the alleged mistreatment of 167 horses he brought to Santa Barbara from Nevada — be required to undergo psychiatric testing. PETA urged prosecuting attorney Mag Nicola to ensure that Gardner also “be barred from all future contact with animals.” Gardner sought and obtained a continuance this week to determine the date for his preliminary hearing. If convicted of all charges, Gardner faces the maximum sentence of 10 years.
