LOWELL TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A Lowell-area nonprofit still working to recover after 13 therapy horses were killed in an arson last year is a finalist for a $15,000 grant.
In April 2017, Payton Mellema set fire to The Barn for Equine Learning in Lowell Township. The barn doors were locked from the inside, so owners couldn’t free the horses.
Since then, the community has backed Kat Welton, who runs The Barn for Equine Learning, as she rebuilds.
