Oliver Springs police said they found two horses—one dead, the other alive but in poor condition—last week.
Few details have been released, but investigators said they are waiting on test results to see if any charges will be filed.
In the meantime, the owner has surrendered the surviving horse to Horse Haven of Tennessee.

A Clinton man was arrested Wednesday on animal cruelty charges after two horses described as underfed and very thin were seized from his property.
The horses were seized from the property of Jason Shipley on Wednesday by Anderson County Animal Control officers and taken to the University of Tennessee Veterinary School for evaluation. The horses were then turned over to Horse Haven of Tennessee, where they are said to be doing well.
Shipley was charged with two counts of animal cruelty, and he was also picked up on several outstanding warrants unrelated to Wednesday’s incident.
