Wisconsin Horse Foundation members met in Fond du Lac to back a constitutional amendment and advisory referendum for pari mutuel horse racing. Aims include Assembly approval of Joint Resolution 26, bypassing Sen Murdoch Lee’s committee, and building broader support among horse groups to unite behind a central strategy in the 1984 legislative session.

Referendum push for pari mutuel racing in Wisconsin
A group seeks a constitutional amendment to allow pari mutuel horse betting via a two session process and a 1987 constitutional referendum. Advisory non binding votes would gauge public opinion without forcing lawmakers to take sides. Leaders urge a vote in 1983-86 sessions and note reapportionment brought freshman reps into the Legislature.

Rancher found guilty in mustang death case
A Texas rancher, Joe Corbett, was found guilty on two misdemeanor counts for failing to notify authorities about the deaths of horses adopted under the federal Adopt-A-Horse program. He received six months in jail, a $4,000 fine, and five years probation. Seven other counts were dropped. Corbett had adopted more than 150 mustangs via the program in 1981, acting as agent for 42 others. Deer hunters later found many dead and starving horses on the property in late 1982.
