Oh yeah, I'm terminating the lease, no ifs ands or buts. I can't believe Amy Labbe (who made those statements and is the official lessee) hasn't even contacted me to notify me of the situation. That alone is bad enough.

If you read the article that is linked to the photos of the mares, it says that the 20 horses that were not in criticle condition are still at the farm now being cared for by the owners of the farm. Maybe your mare is one of them.

Ok, anyone a paid professional (farrier, vet, trainer, etc) that would donate their time to go over to see my mare, and tell me her condition?
The only way I can get out of my contract (my attorney is working on it, but it seems to be the only way) with the lessee is to have my horse be verified in poor condition, not being taken care of, etc. Such BS... I can't believe that I didn't think to put a clause in about the care of the OTHER horses being not up to par, but who would hav ethought this would happen?

So yes, would anyone be willing to donate their time and expertise to run over and see my horse?

I've had a very kind offer from someone on the forum to go look at her with the lessee. This is going to require some wrangling because everything has to be arranged and organized.

I just hope it all gets done in time.

I've heard from animal control that my horse is indeed in good condition..

But the excuses that the people have as to why this happened.. YOu would only laugh..

Thank God, your horse was safe and in good condition. I hate reading about the cruelty of people that are keepers of defenseless animals. It haunts me that they would go without food or water. I think of my own horses rushing to the fence at feeding time and wonder what they would think if no food was there for them.
