Sad Leased Out Mare :(

[Faster horses]

Back to the horse~horses are nothing but VICTIMS of those who own them. I raise holy heck when I see something like this. It has created
some embarrassing situations. Not for me, but for the owners.

One case: W. Montana. People had horses in DOG KENNELS. They couldn't even turn around. We couldn't get anything done. Finally, one
woman called one day and I would call the next. We kept it up until
the Sherriff's office couldn't ignore us any more. Sheriff went out there and what he found wasn't pretty. But we got the horses out of the situation and charges were filed. There was also a skinny dehydrated pig on the property, which I won't go into the details, because you never know
who is reading this, and the problems it could create.

I bought a 2 yr old filly that looked similar to a moth eaten sheep skin. Like the mare in the pic it took along time to bring her back. When we got her we had to almost carry her into the trailer. It was crazy vet bills actualy putting the feed in her mouth and helping her chew for the first few days . When her coat started coming in better and she was getting on well .I did all the ground work with that I dared and the sent her to my grandfathers.That is were she stayed for a year to grow . When we came back the next spring to a very health filly . At that time I was 12 yrs old up until 1997 she was the best horse I've ever had and the best friend. Her favorate things were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and afterdinner mints. They all need a second chance.

Old Dog, I been there many times. We use to rescue track horses. It was hard at times, because they all wuoldnt make it back. The stupid idiots that had them, and they wouldnt run..so they just quit feeding or tending to them at all. Got a few good horses that way, but lost a few sweet critters that just didnt have it in them to come back to life.

At one time there was a Killers Lot in Newark - when the Tracks here would close many Trainers would not have Trailer space for all their Horses and would sell them there.

Some trained would leaver the singed Reg Papers with the Killer in hopes someone would pick-them-up (the horse and papers) - I was one of those someones - - A buddy of mine had just started a Pinto Horse Assoc. in San Jose - I could buy (save) anything with color and have Reg. Papers on them with-in a week.

Extra Horses to ride and sell for Extra Money - buy a horse for $55 to $75 and ride it for a month and sell it for $800 up - - the very good horses I could ride longer and...

I have looked at Reg Papers and seen a "Canner Horse" named that I saved some years before

I don't know who you are thinking of, ranchwife. Could it have been the Kelloggs?

This was small potatoes compared to the Kelloggs who moved in with a whole bunch of horses and dogs. Our banker lived out there by them and he didn't think things were right, so asked me to go take a look at that deal. It was pretty sad. The Kelloggs bought that place with 2 houses. They turned one house over to the dogs and ruined it. They had dogs in every corner of every spot there was. It was the first time I was face to face with a puppy mill. It was horrible. The heat got on and they left the country. Went to Wyoming and tried the same thing, but Wyoming has better laws for this type of thing and they were convicted of animal abuse. Got them all taken away. As they should have.

The people at the dog kennels in the south valley was just the
Ken Mc______________* They had mares and colts running in that swamp below the kennels that were confiscated. The colts were so parasite infected they had to be put down.

Nothing is too good for these kind of people if you ask me.

*I'd have put the whole last name in, but I'm not positive I am remembering it correctly.
