said she d offered to let the horse stay in her overgrown pasture, but Kampman had refused.
She said she d spoken, at length, with Kampman regarding the deteriorating condition of her
horse, but Kampman had done nothing about it and refused her offers of help. She said she

been contacted earlier to check out the horse.
Another witness said that she was the original owner of the horse, and she d given
Mary to Kampman in 2009. At that time, she said, Mary was in great health. During the
past year, she said, she d come over to Kampman s residence, numerous times, because she
noticed the horse was in poor health and rapidly losing weight. She d asked for Kampman
