Update: It is June 2013 and the summations were completed Friday, placing the verdict in the hands of the judge. The SPCA is suing for $900K for care of the horses for the past 3 years. She is countersuing for $2 million for defamation of character. Hopefully there is a verdict soon.

I was there from day 1- it was disgraceful. The conditions were diplorable & very unsanitary. I’ve been around horses for more than 30 yrs & I’ve never seen anything like this before. It brought tears to my eyes and made me sick to my stomach.

and she will likely be prosecuted. The SPCA is looking for caring and loving homes for the horses… I hope she never lays claim to being a rsponsible owner of another horse. It just should not be…

I am very proud to see the authorities have taken action and are caring for the horses and other animals on this ranch. I work with a variety of horse rescues to assist in funding efforts to save slaughter bound horses and burros lives and get them homed and to rescue centers so they may get appropriate vet and ferrier careand regain the weight lost from all that has happened to them. These horses are in auction to slaughter kill pens and we are making great strides to secure bail transport and vet and ferrier care.I am sure I can speak freely in saying that we appreciate your great efforts and hope they will also go to good homes and not end up in the kill pens of NY. Keep up the good work. Now if we could get this kind of response to the Slaughter houses ( Canada and Mexico)and the suffering that our national heritage the horses and burros go threw even before and enduring the slaughter process.There are laws that are being broken there also.Please I speak for every rescue that has to bail horses to save their lives.We are hoping it will stop and the monies can go to caring for the animals instead.

This is so super sad that people can do this to horses!! The people need to be put in jail or something done more that a simple fine! If they become up for adoption I would be more than happy to adopt one!!
