Today, Lucie Ptasznik, owner of High Vibe Trail Rides, is focused on rebuilding her business in Milford.

On Wednesday, 36 of her horses were returned, three weeks after Oakland County Animal Control seized them following a bogus complaint of neglect, despite its own positive health assessment of the horses just weeks earlier.

WXYZ-TV Channel 7 captured the emotional reunion.

The horses are home.

This morning, more than 30 horses seized from High Vibe Trail Rides in Milford were returned to their owner, Lucie Ptasznik, after Oakland County declined to pursue forfeiture and no charges were filed.

What started with a bogus complaint turned Lucie’s life and business upside down. Her horses were taken from her, she lost business contracts, and both she and her employees faced severe harassment.

After everything Lucie and her team endured, today marks an important step toward making things right.

Our lawsuit on behalf of Dylan Leenheer is getting statewide attention.

TV6 & FOX UP reports on the case: Leenheer, a former Newberry Correctional Facility inmate, alleges he was racially humiliated as a Native American man while incarcerated. Corrections officers altered his prison ID photo to depict him in stereotypical Native American regalia, then showed it to other prisoners.

Dylan deserved dignity behind bars, but he didn't get it. We're standing with him until he gets accountability.
