Remove the handlebars and memories of "Snippy the Horse" come back to life. On
Sept. 7, 1967 - Snippy the horse, a 3-year-old Appaloosa, who’s actual
name was Lady, failed to show up for her usual morning drink in a
pasture on the Harry King ranch 20 miles northeast of Alamosa, at the
foot of Mount Blanca. Two days later, Snippy's body was found in the
pasture, her death cloaked in mystery. The skin and flesh had been
cleanly cut away from the shoulders to the ears. Snippy was the first reported case of Animal Mutilation (mutilación animal).
