SANDOVAL COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF ROAMING WILD HORSES IN THE PLACITAS AREA. SOME AREA RESIDENTS COMPLAIN THE HORSES ARE DAMAGING THEIR PROPERTY. COUNTY SPOKESMAN SIDNEY HILL TELLS 770 KKOB IT'S A COMPLICATED ISSUE. HE SAYS THE QUESTION IS WHO HAS JURISDICTION OVER THE AREA WHERE THE HORSES ARE ROAMING.
HILL SAYS THE ISSUE DREW ATTENTION LAST MONTH WHEN A HORSE WAS STRUCK AND KILLED BY A VEHICLE. SANDOVAL COUNTY COMMISSIONER ORLANDO LUCERO WILL HOST A WORKSHOP ON THE WILD HORSE ISSUE NEXT WEDNESDAY AT 9AM AT THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IN BERNALILLO.
