Galveston woman Terri Glenn is facing charges of cruelty to livestock animals after police on Wednesday seized 27 horses from a pen used by a riding business, the Galveston County Daily News reports.

According to S-n-G Horseback Riding's website, Glenn is the owner of the riding business, which is located on the island's Jamaica Beach.

A Galveston police officer told the Daily News that because three of the horses were found emaciated and in critical condition, officers had to take possession of the entire herd. They will be transported to Habitat for Horses' facilities for medical care.

"There's three that are literally in danger of death or serious bodily injury." Sgt. Joel Caldwell, who oversees the city animal services unit, told the Galveston paper.

Records show that Glenn is currently being held in the Galveston County Jail on $7,500 bond.
