Freedom rider loses custody of horses
Dozens express interest in adopting three horses once owned by Katherine Kat Gallant who fled West Virginia to avoid animal cruelty charges. Kanawha Charleston Humane Association will be selective to protect the animals, while Gallant faces a magistrate court trial and potential six month jail and fines.
