MISTY L. CAREY, owner of MC Stables, arrested and seventeen horses removed from the property – One horse was euthanized

- New York, USA -

The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office arrested 49-year-old MISTY L. CAREY (pictured), owner of MC Stables in Verona.

On July 3, 2025, the Criminal Investigation Unit and Road Patrol Unit responded to MC Stables after receiving a complaint about malnourished horses at the farm.

The Henneke Scoring System determined the horses’ health conditions to be poor. According to the press release by the sheriff’s office, one horse appeared to have sustained untreated/neglected injuries, causing his/her condition to deteriorate and the poor soul was sadly euthanized.

Oneida County Sheriff Robert M. Maciol said that MC Stables was responsible for boarding, training and racing horses for several individuals. They were contacted, and some arranged the removal of their horses from the facility.

On July 8, 2025, a search warrant was executed at MC Stables, and the remaining horses who were removed were boarded by several volunteers.

The case was then forwarded to the Oneida County District Attorney’s Office for Grand Jury consideration and on September 11, 2025, an indictment warrant was issued for CAREY for one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals and seventeen misdemeanor counts of overdriving, torturing and injuring animals, failure to provide proper sustenance.

CAREY was arrested on September 12, 2025, and transported to the Kurt B. Wyman Law Enforcement Building for processing.  After processing, she was held at the Oneida County Jail, pending an arraignment in Oneida County Court.  On September 15, 2025, CAREY was arraigned in County Court and pleaded not guilty. She was released on her own recognizance.  

I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim who was euthanized Skyler for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
