Dramatic Horse and Pony Rescue in Salinas

A horse and a pony are safe on Thursday night, January 28 after being stuck in mud for up to 18 hours. SPCA Monterey County rescuers brought the horse and pony to the SPCA for care and to be treated by Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic Veterinarians. Due to their condition, they are now being transported to Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic for overnight care. The horse and pony were found stuck in mud on Limekiln Road in Salinas, off of River Road. The area experienced a debris flow last night that trapped the two equines. When the owners found the horses, they immediately flagged down passing fire departments and contacted SPCA Monterey County for help. SPCA Monterey County thanks all the first responders who performed this amazing rescue, including Hayward Fire Department, Fremont Fire Department, Alameda Fire Department, Fresno Fire Department, Marina Fire Department, Monterey County Regional Fire District, Monterey County Public Works, and more. We also thank all the kind neighbors who responded with shovels and other tools to help, and Steinbeck Country Equine Clinic.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public.
