usiness once her veterinarian gives the all clear for the horses to be ridden again.

She said,  My team has been incredible. I'm so grateful for my team, the community who's rallied... the support from the community has been unparalleled. 

 I started this business as a little girl with a big dream. I just wanted to share the love and the beauty of horseback riding with the world,  she said.

Richard George owns the stables where the horses are boarded. He said bogus complaints are a recurring problem.

 There's a significant contingent of people that are just haters. They see a woman like Lucie being so successful and doing such a great job. She's, I've literally seen her single-handedly rescue over a hundred horses. They come out of these auctions where a lot of them are going to Canada for processing,  he explained.

In a statement to 7 News Detroit Oakland County Animal control said the following:

Oakland County Animal Control Division Manager Bob Gatt released the following statement in response to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office decision not to bring charges in the High Vibes Trail Rides animal welfare investigation in Milford:

 As the agency responsible for the well-being of domesticated animals in Oakland County, we take all allegations of mistreatment seriously and have a duty to investigate them. In this case, we received multiple reports alleging the care of these horses was not compliant with Michigan law. Based on the evidence during the initial investigation, a district judge issued two search warrants. The horses were removed for their protection, so veterinary staff could examine and care for them. We provided the Prosecutor's Office with the results of our investigation, including the veterinary assessments.

 We respect the prosecutor's decision not to bring charges in this case. Although no criminal charges were filed in this matter, the Oakland County Animal Control Division conducted a comprehensive and diligent investigation. Our officers pursued every available lead, interviewed witnesses and enlisted the assistance of experienced equine professionals and a veterinarian specializing in horse care. Every decision was based on the evidence available and our responsibility to protect the health and welfare of the animals involved.
