Merry Christmas to All and a Happy New Year! Looking Ahead to 2014

Hero--whereabouts unknown

Today is Christmas Day, 2013. I know you are all probably spending the day with your loved ones and counting your blessings, as it should be. While you're at it, please include the innocent creatures of this earth in your thoughts and prayers because they, too, need to be included--and that goes for the broker horses who are still being callously exploited by Christy Sheidy and her associates for blood money.

Also, please pray for those people who have emptied their bank accounts to adopt the horses of their dreams, only to have their hearts irretrievably broken by the harsh reality that they were "taken for a ride." They do not deserve this and neither do the horses themselves, who had the sheer bad luck to fall into Brian Moore's hands, and subsequently into Christy's.

Belgian draft, "Yule"--deceased two weeks after arriving in broker lot

Please pray for justice for them and all the other victims and horses before them. Thankfully, that justice is now on the horizon with the Federal investigation into AC4h's criminal activities in full swing and more and more victims coming forward to turn over their evidence to the FBI.

OTTB Jackety Jack--very likely deceased

"St. Theresa"--sold positive for EIA and ill with bastard strangles; deceased

Yes, there is a just and merciful God and He will see to it that the perpetrators are arrested and punished to the fullest extent of the law. If you've been victimized, please don't hesitate to contact Special Agent Charlene Trux in charge of the investigation at charlene.trux@ic.fbi.gov or (610) 433-6488. Keep detailed records of your dealings with AC4h in a safe place and get them to her as soon as possible. The more people that come forward, the stronger the Federal government's case will be against her and her associates, and ensure that they get the maximum sentences allowed by law.

Cadillac Jack, Percheron gelding-- deceased

This has been a very long time in coming, and I want to thank each and every one of you for seeing AC4h for what it is and coming forward to the authorities and urging them to investigate. Furthermore, I want to thank all of you for seeing it through with me as well. It's been a very arduous journey for me mentally, emotionally and physically, and I could not have gotten this far without your unwavering support and words of encouragement. God bless each and every one of you; may peace and joy be with you for the New Year!

I feel in my heart that 2014 will be the year that AC4h finally comes crashing down. I will continue to watch and document its activities right here, and beyond its dismantling by the Feds. Stay tuned, and here's to a fruitful New Year!

FOR THE HORSES!

Faith, the severely foundered grulla mare--deceased

Paint mare, name unknown--died of bastard strangles at 166 Station Road; was never seen by a vet

Lady Empress, descendant of Ferdinand--deceased after being abandoned by Christy once funds were raised

OTTB, Munition-- whereabouts unknown; likely deceased

Help Push The National Pet Rescue Examiner page Off Facebook!

As you all know from my last blog entry, I conclusively proved beyond a doubt that one of AC4h's associates, Cheryl Hanna, is the creator and administrator of the National Pet Rescue Examiner page on Facebook. I have created a petition to get it taken down and hope that you will join with me and sign the petition because Ms. Hanna's two-faced, self-serving hypocrisy should not be tolerated, particularly when it comes to the welfare of those creatures who cannot speak for themselves. 

She may think she is speaking for them when in fact she is condoning the implicit abuse and neglect of the broker horses her gal pal Christy Sheidy peddles on Brian Moore's behalf week after week. I am aiming for 50,000 signatures and will send the petition on to Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and urge him to remove the page. The link to my petition is below. Thank you so much on behalf of all the voiceless and innocent creatures of this earth!

Petition to Shut Down the National Pet Rescue Examiner Facebook page

The National Pet Rescue Examiner, Exposed!

As they so often say, appearances can often be deceiving, and this is most certainly the case when it comes to a certain Facebook page, The National Pet Rescue Examiner, which focuses on animal cruelty and neglect cases around the country, with a smattering of "feel-good" stories such as the one about Bubbles, the Neapolitan mastiff who was found wandering the streets of Baltimore with a massive, nine-pound tumor weighing down one side of her head and displacing her left eye. She was subsequently operated on by a team of top-notch veterinary surgeons and is well on the way to recovery.

All well and good. That is, until you realize who is behind all those gloom-and-doom stories of innocent and helpless animals being mutilated, strangled, electrocuted, drowned and other horrific abuses inflicted on them by sadistic and depraved monsters. 

That would be Cheryl Hanna, who just so happens to be AC4h's publicity and marketing director. Yes, that so-called horse "rescue" in Bernville, Pennsylvania, which is currently under investigation by the FBI and IRS for wire fraud, money laundering, income tax evasion, conspiracy and other Federal crimes. 

Believe it or not, she actually condones the abuses and neglect that the AC4h broker horses are subjected to during their sad and lonely sojourn inside Brian Moore's broker lot, including, but not limited to, horses being forced to 'perform' under rider despite being obviously lame, emaciated or ill, oftentimes under a too-heavy rider, for Christy's ballyhooed "evaluation" videos. The neglect includes withholding of veterinary care when it's clearly needed, and adequate food and water. Is it any wonder, then, that so many of the horses going to their new homes are in far worse shape than when they initially arrived at the broker lot?

Not once has Ms. Hanna ever raised concerns about the treatment inflicted on these unfortunate horses or taken her to task. Not once. As a matter of fact, she has staunchly defended Christy and haughtily dismissed the glaring photographic evidence of abuse as "gossip" and "drama".  In one of my earlier blogs, I posted an entire thread between Cheryl and several very concerned horse lovers who raised Cain about a severely swaybacked and emaciated Saddlebred gelding that was being forced to walk, trot and what have you under a heavyset rider. On top of everything, that poor animal was ill, with snot dripping from his nostrils. Here's an excerpt from that thread:

• Cheryl Hanna Because it gives the horse a chance to get a home when someone sees that he can be ridden. Do you actually think that being loaded onto a slaughter truck and being processed in a slaughter plant is the better choice? Geesh people - after all these years can you please step away from the drama?

  Mary Gellar Cheryl, when the people see the picture right NEXT to this one, all the GOOD that you think this picture does in my opinion is UNDONE!!! Yes, I hope this horse find a great home where he WON'T be ridden !!!
• November 16, 2011 at 8:32pm · 1
  
  Cheryl Hanna The rider is on the horse for 5 minutes. Try not to be the dramallamas ladies. It really is unbecoming.
• November 16, 2011 at 8:32pm
  
  Mary Gellar And if there had NOT been a rider on him, there would have been no comments !!
• November 16, 2011 at 8:32pm
  
  Mary Gellar 5 minutes, 5 seconds .... doesn't matter
• November 16, 2011 at 8:33pm · 2
  
  Cheryl Hanna The horse is less likely to find a home if it can't be seen being ridden. Sorry been thru all of this for years and already know that a few minutes on a horse's back and showing that he can be ridden is worth far more than just saying it. From experience and actually speaking to people who have purchased these horses, I know it is true.
• November 16, 2011 at 8:35pm
  
  Mary Gellar Cheryl, would you REALLY advocate people riding that fucking horse???
• November 16, 2011 at 8:36pm · 2
  
  Cheryl Hanna Just tell me the alternative as he gets loaded in a truck heading for Canada or Mexico and then gets a bolt thru his head??? That's a better choice than 5 minutes with someone on his back??? Sorry been thru all of this drama for years and personally have seen horses get homes because people actually see the horse is ridable.
• November 16, 2011 at 8:37pm
  
  Cheryl Hanna I advocate helping horses Mary as I have for the last 10 years.
• November 16, 2011 at 8:38pm
  
  Mary Gellar Cheryl, you didn't answer me.... how in God's name in GOOD CONSCIENCE can ANYONE offer this horse as a RIDING HORSE???? What kind of fraud is that??? I'd rather see someone buy it and HUMANELY EUTHANISE IT !!

Here is a photo of that horse in question, without a rider, to show you just how horribly emaciated he is:

You can read the entire thread at this link: http://voiceforhorses-exposed.blogspot.com/2013/02/cheryl-hanna-actively-promoting-cruelty.html

I will now show you proof that Cheryl Hanna is the creator/administrator for the National Pet Rescue Examiner Facebook page, as well as proof that she is AC4h's publicity and marketing director in a series of screenshots. The first screenshot is of the page itself from Facebook:

The second image is from the "About" section from the National Pet Rescue Examiner's page. When I placed the cursor over the 'contact info' link in that section, it revealed Cheryl Hanna's name in the bottom left hand corner of the screen as the contact person:

Next up is a screenshot from one of CH's Examiner articles showing her photo and name following the article itself:

In the following screenshot she encourages her readers to 'like' her Facebook page as well as to submit story ideas to her email address, which is given as Cdhanna9703@aol.com:

One of Ms. Hanna's favorite Internet hangouts is the Equine Rescue Scams Yahoo forum, where she regularly engages in vicious trash talking against me along with other AC4h associates and supporters, especially Pam Davis and Barbara Vieira. This screenshot shows her partial email address in the message source of one of her many posts (731 defamatory posts about me to date, while her BFF Pam has racked up 1,135 similarly malicious posts, all of which have been turned over to the FBI as evidence of cyberbullying and harassment):

Next, we have a screenshot from the Alex Brown Racing forums in which she discusses Diana Murphy and her rescue, Voice for Horses, in Toledo, Ohio and signs off with "Cheryl Hanna/Fundraising and Publicity Director/Another Chance 4 Horses/AC4H".

Another screenshot is from Serviceuntitled.com, a customer service website founded by her son, Douglas Hanna, for which she writes articles about --you guessed it-- customer service. This one is of her bio in which her association with AC4h is mentioned as well as with another horse rescue, Pure Thoughts Horse and Foal Rescue in Loxahatchee, Florida:

These screenshots collectively and persuasively prove that the creator/admin of the National Pet Rescue Examiner Facebook page and AC4h's marketing/publicity director are one and the same person. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  PERIOD.

For someone like Cheryl Hanna to write stories about acts of cruelty and neglect being inflicted on helpless animals while supporting an extremely shady horse "rescue" and condoning the abuses that Christy Sheidy and her helpers dole out on the luckless horses, does nothing, in my opinion, for her credibility. I have never come across anyone so blatantly two-faced before in my life.

Christy is just as bad herself, claiming to be passionately in favor of humane treatment for horses, yet knowingly enabling her kill buyer partner Brian Moore to buy scores of young, fat and healthy horses cheaply with the profits he makes through the broker horse program to ship to slaughter in Canada. Ditto for the others: Lisa Drahorad, Colleen Cramblet, Pam Davis, Lori Leach and others deeply involved in the scam that is Another Chance 4 Horses, Inc., but Cheryl Hanna and Pam Davis are in a class by themselves.

It is eminently ironic that Cheryl would write about customer service and professionalism on her blog at Serviceuntitled.com, yet as a representative of a 501c3 nonprofit charity treat people with sheer and utter arrogance and contempt as she does, resorting to nasty and condescending insults if they should have the temerity to complain about the broker horse program or point out things that don't seem right or add up. Here's an excerpt from her blog:

Now contrast that with these randomly selected posts from the Equine Rescue Scams forum:

I know you must be shaking your head by now in sheer incredulity and thinking, "Is this really one and the same person? How can she claim to be a professional and yet write such vile, nasty diatribes against others? And why would she support a 501c3 nonprofit that clearly is NOT in it for the animals??"

I can tell you quite honestly that I really don't have all the answers, but there obviously has to be something in it for Ms. Hanna to support, aid and abet an organization that is not what it appears to be on the surface. That something is the almighty dollar, and Christy Sheidy clearly isn't hurting for the green stuff. Keep in mind that she reported almost a million dollars to the IRS for the fiscal year 2010, the very last year that AC4h filed a 990 return, and I would bet you that Christy has been paying Ms. Hanna and others to carry out her dirty work, including, but not limited to, digging up dirt on its detractors as well as carrying out a smear campaign to discredit and intimidate them, including me. 

I have been waging war with these people for over three years-- a war that started over a horse pulled out of Camelot by an equally shady horse rescue, Voice for Horses, founded and run by Diana Jo Murphy out of Toledo, Ohio, and who was, unbeknownst to me at the time, in cahoots with Christy Sheidy to fundraise for horses bought by Brian Moore out of New Holland, the notorious horse and livestock auction in Lancaster County, PA. 

Ever since I started speaking out against these two sham "rescues" in the early part of 2010,  Cheryl, Christy, Lisa Drahorad,  Colleen Cramblet, Lori Leach, Sharon Stone, and others have been painting me as an opportunistic Internet scam artist, a filthy pig, animal abuser and neglector ad nauseam, and calling me such vile names as "Skank", "Schlopp", "Sally Scag", and so on. They've even gone so far as to post links to my "animal abuser" past -- chiefly,  Cheryl's Examiner.com article about the seizure of my pets by animal control-- to animal welfare Facebook pages and warning rescue groups not to adopt out dogs and cats out to me. 

The truth is, they have absolutely no documented proof whatsoever to back up their allegations that I ever abused or neglected my pets. Did I ever beat or torture my pets? NO. Did I ever deny my pets food, water, shelter or veterinary care when they needed it? NO. Did I have my pets spayed and neutered? YES--with one exception, and that is, one of my female dogs went into heat before I had a chance to get her spayed, and a stray dog in the neighborhood jumped the fence. She became pregnant, but I took her in to a spay/neuter clinic and had the pregnancy terminated, so she never delivered a litter. Did my pets have fleas and tapeworms? YES. What pet owner doesn't have battles with those pesky pests every spring and summer?

I will tell you point blank that I was cited by animal control, but NEVER for abuse or anything to that effect. I was cited for owning too many pets over the city's limit of four per household, a barking dog nuisance and owning a 'dangerous' dog--my boxer, of all things-- all she was doing that day when the ACO paid a visit was running back and forth alongside my fence and jumping up and down. Absolutely NO citations were ever issued for abuse/neglect. If that were the case, why didn't animal control seize my pets right then and there? If there had been clearcut evidence of such, that is exactly what they would have done--but they didn't. Anyone with an iota of common sense would realize that.

My pets were not seized until the day I was evicted from my home by a codes enforcement officer who told me to my face that he was acting upon orders received in an email from a property management company hired by Wells Fargo to kick me out. I was never arrested, tried and convicted for animal abuse, as Christy's people would have you believe. What DID happen was that I appeared in court as scheduled, and made a plea bargain with the prosecutor so that I would not have to pay the fines. That is IT. PERIOD. 

I will point out that the photo accompanying Cheryl Hanna's Examiner.com article about the seizure of my pets is not of the Olathe animal shelter; it is a stock photo of a shelter and not the actual one in question. I should know; I've been to that shelter many times. They also have never produced actual photos of my pets to prove their allegations.

What it all is this: a gigantic smoke screen to divert and deflect attention away from Another Chance 4 Horses and its scam by Cheryl Hanna and the others, but it's an abject failure because too many people have been victimized over the years, and with the FBI investigation in full swing, more are looking at this "rescue" with a jaundiced eye and warning others to steer clear.

It's just common sense to realize that if a nonprofit's representatives treat people the way that Cheryl Hanna and others do, with nasty insults, intimidating tactics and harassment, etc., as well as blocking them from further posting on Facebook, then this is an organization you do not want to get involved with, as much as the horses' plight in the broker lot might tug on your heartstrings. After all, if officials of the American Red Cross or St. Jude's Research Hospital treated the public in similar fashion, people would have absolutely no qualms about taking their money elsewhere.

It also bears keeping in mind that if the representatives of an organization behave towards the public the way Christy & Co. does, it typically means they have something major to hide. But with the FBI and IRS digging into their shady activities, it will only be a matter of time before the boulder they've been hiding under is turned over to reveal everything Christy and her associates have been doing--including Cheryl Hanna herself, who is in deep denial about being investigated by the FBI.  She's in for a very rude awakening.

So there you have it about the person behind the National Pet Rescue Examiner Facebook page: a spiteful, cruel, arrogant and condescending individual who is helping Christy Sheidy facilitate a multi-million dollar scam and exploiting sick, emaciated, lame and elderly horses for profit--horses that would never pass muster at the Canadian slaughter plants despite their insistent claims that they are, indeed, in danger of shipping. 

Soo, that page ain't what it appears to be, but a gigantic smoke screen for the person running it to make herself look squeaky clean. I daresay you'll never look at it again in the same light as before.

EXPOSED!

P.S. For those who aren't familiar with Another Chance 4 Horses in Bernville, PA, here's a link to the TV news story about the April 30 raid on 166 Station Road by the FBI:

FBI Raid on AC4h

MEMO TO CHRISTY & CO.: Read this and weep!

As many of you know, the federal government recently shut down and sent many employees home without pay or benefits because of a Congressional impasse over the budget. When I heard about it, I was wondering if perhaps the FBI investigation, spearheaded by Agent Charlene Trux in Allentown, PA, into the criminal activities of Christy Sheidy and her associates, was being negatively impacted by the shutdown. This afternoon, with that thought in mind, I fired off a short email to Agent Trux. She responded almost immediately and simply said, "Proceeding as usual." Here's the screenshot of the email between us as proof:

Great news indeed for all of those who have had their life savings stolen and hearts cruelly ripped to shreds by this avaricious band of shady horse dealers and thieves. In the meantime, the karma bus is standing by, waiting for the signal.

 I hope I made your weekend. I for one have a Cheshire cat grin on my face which will not be wiped off anytime soon, no matter how hard her associates might try!

The Smell of Money: More Powerful than the Stench of a Dead Horse

I'll let these screenshots and video do the talking here. Take a very close look at what's circled in red, in the background of the screenshots from  one of AC4h's much vaunted "evaluation videos".  YES, that is most definitely a very dead and very bloated palomino lying in the background in plain view by what appears to be a burn pit, as well as Brian Moore's slaughter trucks.

What reputable rescue would even consider posting this video in the first place? As one of my friends so succinctly put it on my wall, "If someone like Sally Schrock was watching this rescue's every move, they sure wouldn't have a dead horse in their video, and be begging for money on top of it". Well said, my friend.

Do you see what I see back there? 

You saw that right; that horse has been there for quite a while.

Two people jumped down Christy's throat about the video. Here are their comments, as well Christy's:

• Tausha Watts 5 hours ago

  boy o boy how could you not notice a BLOATED deceased horse??? hmmm i highly doubt this horse just died and a a true equine enthusiast i would have NEVER allowed that poor soul to lie there like that. you krusty should be absolutely ashamed of yourself!

  Also I didn't see the horse until later as there was a great bit of activity and I was focusing on the horse that we were evaluating -I do apologize that the horse was in the background of the video's and it was heartbreaking to see.

  Hi Loraine your not seeing things there is a deceased horse in the background and there is also a burn pit yards behind the deceased horse. The horse was not being burned, the horse was sent to valley protein rendering plant. Apparently the horse was in foal sent to the auction which is stressful. She passed away and the unborn baby as well. Unfortunately, there were no symptoms of labor or issues. It is very sad. It isn't only slaughter that kills horses :(

  I could just be seeing things, but there seems to be a dead horse in the background of this video... Seems like it would be hard to come across as horse lovers with dead horses laying by what looks like a burn pit? Yikes...

   · 

  
  

  
  Take notice of Christy's response: "Also I didn't see the horse until later as there was a great bit of activity and I was focusing on the horse that we were evaluating"... how ANY reasonable human could fail to notice a large carcass in the summer heat, a bloated and decomposing body that had to be befouling the very air with its stench is beyond me!

  
  

  Obviously the smell of money was far more powerful than a horse's putrid corpse--a poor animal that likely died from neglect at her bloody hands. 

  
  

  Still want to donate your hard-earned money to this "rescue"?

A Tale of Two Alydar Descendants, Part One: The $25 Stallion Rescued from New Holland

All right, I'm back on my AC4h/AC$h soapbox today, this time about two different OTTBs, one that was bought directly from the notorious New Holland auction, and the other that was bailed from Brian Moore's broker lot by The Exceller Fund.

I just came across an article this weekend that resoundingly bolsters my contention (and that of many of my friends who are in the know) that the best way to rescue a horse in danger of going to slaughter is by going to the auction and bidding against the kill buyers instead of lining Christy Sheidy's pockets with your hard-earned $$$.

Tomtomjim, a ten-year-old OTTB stallion, was rescued by a lady at  New Holland last Thanksgiving for just $25. YES, you read that right! TWENTY-FIVE dollars for an off-track TB stallion, and one that turned out to be a great horse under saddle right from the get-go. This grandson of Mr. Prospector also has the great Seattle Slew as his maternal great grandsire, while Alydar is his great-great grandsire, also on the maternal side. Here is the full story on this beautiful horse:  

http://offtrackthoroughbreds.com/2013/07/19/25-new-holland-stallion-granted-new-life/

Just think how many horses you could save with just, say, $100-250 in your pocket directly from New Holland or any other horse auction (Sugar Creek and Shipshewana, for example). That is a lot of horses that could be given a new lease on life, and more often than not, they're in far better shape than the sorry-looking animals passing through Christy Sheidy's filthy clutches.

Remember, she does NOT spend any of that money on even the most basic care for the broker horses--no vet care, no hay or feed. She claimed $27,000 in expenses for vet care on her 2010 IRS return, yet people got horses that were deathly ill, lame and severely emaciated--animals they ransomed for several hundred dollars. Many of those had to be euthanized because they were too far gone to save upon arrival.

That's mucho moolah down the drain--money that will NEVER be recovered, since it is virtually unheard of for Christy to issue refunds if something goes awry with the adoption. You've already lost the infamous $80 "vetting fee" from the get-go. The vast majority of people never get the health certificate and Coggins they paid for, so why would it be any different if you bailed a horse through Another Chance 4 Hucksterism yourself?

That $80 alone could have saved at least ONE horse directly, and maybe two, from New Holland. Think about that! More food for thought about that vetting fee: the actual cost of a health certificate and Coggins, respectively, is just $20 through NH. Soo, what is the extra $40 for, and where does it go? I would bet you the money is an "administrative fee" that goes straight into Christy's very deep pockets.

All right. I'm stepping down from my soapbox for the time being, but there's more to come. I ain't done yet! 

Stay tuned for Part 2 about Double Platinum, the 18-year-old OTTB gelding that was ransomed from AC4h by The Exceller Fund, with assistance from the ASPCA........

How High is the Body Count Now? Another Chance 4 Horror Strikes Again

In my next to last post, "Are There No Limits to Christy's Cruelty?" I told you all about a black mare in the broker lot that was being forced to 'perform' under rider for AC4h's much-vaunted "evaluation" video with a horrific injury to her right hind foot that was clearly causing her excruciating pain. What's more, this poor animal was heavy with foal.

Viewers watching it were told that 2-27-14-980, as she was known then, "moved sound has a motor lots of energy likes to go and will stand still but but when she does she will dance or lift up one of her front legs to show her impatience". Excuse me while I reach for the barf bag, but all of what dear Christy said is a description of a horse that is in agony and clearly not wanting to be ridden.

I posted a close up photo of that hind foot which is (pardon the pun; this is anything but funny) extremely painful to look at; it looked as though a hole had been punched into the upper part of her hoof just below the pastern and it was caked with mud, manure and debris-- a perfect breeding ground for a massive infection to take root and invade her system and endanger not only her life, but also that of her unborn foal. Christy, bless her dear heart, explained the injury away as nothing more serious than a "wire cut". Excuse me again while I make a beeline for the bathroom; she has that effect on me every single time I read such flippant remarks from her or one of her equally morally corrupt and callous associates.

I'm going to point out that for 2010, AC4h reported $27,000 in vet expenses on its 990 return to the IRS. "Vet expenses", I'm sorry to say, is a total joke. In the 3+ years that I've been warring with Christy and her compadres, I have never heard of her calling out a vet to treat any of the broker horses that needed it and she has always passed the poor animal and its issues, as well as the accompanying expenses, on to its unsuspecting new owner. It's her way of giving her generous adopters and donors the finger while laughing all the way to the bank and it, unfortunately,  has happened many, many times.

The pregnant mare, now named "Pearl" in the meantime, was bailed and sent to Lily Pond Foal Rescue in Maryland to be quarantined and treated for her injury while awaiting the birth of her foal. She did have surgery on her foot according to LPFR, but needed another one after foaling. Here's a photo of that foot at the time of her pickup to go to QT. Warning: this is a graphic injury and not for the weak or faint of heart.

Pearl's foot at time of pick up for  QT

She foaled a TWH cross colt in April, "Dandy" who was born healthy. Unfortunately, it was ultimately determined that her foot could not be saved. Lily Pond posted on their Facebook wall on June 26th that she had to be euthanized the day before because "The foot was worsening -- smelled of rot, she was dragging it and it had maggots in it. The vets determined her foot was not fixable."

AGAIN, it's all because of Christy's callous refusal to spend any of her ill-gotten gains to treat injuries  and illnesses that are clearly in dire need of immediate and intensive veterinary care. God only knows just how long Pearl languished in the broker lot before she was bailed and sent to LPFR. Under such circumstances, any length of time, even just one day, spent lingering in the broker lot is way too long.

This is totally unconscionable for a 501c3 organization that has the audacity to call itself a "rescue", which it most certainly is not. Reputable rescues like Brenda Lewis's ACE Rescue and Jo Deibel's Angel Acres Horse Haven have and will always go all out to get their horses in need taken care of when they need it, and in a timely fashion too. Vet and farrier care, quarantine, rehabilitation, training on the ground and under saddle--the whole nine yards and then some before the animal is ever deemed ready for adoption. 

Jo and Brenda are just a few of the truly caring horse lovers I am proud to call my friends,  who lay it all on the line and sacrifice their money (much of it out of pocket), time (they rarely ever take vacations--yet Christy takes her family on trips to Disney World and buys expensive computer equipment and cellphones for herself and the girls) and sweat and tears to make life better for their animals, who, if it were not for them, would be starving silently in a lonely dry lot or crammed into a trailer with others without food or water on a horrendous journey to one of the slaughterhouses in Canada or Mexico. Now that is real rescue for you!

In the meantime, Christy & Co. continues to brazenly carry on business as usual on Facebook and elsewhere while scores of sick, lame, injured and elderly horses languish in the broker lot without adequate care. She even has the audacity to party it up with her fellow scammer Lorraine Smith (Sundew Saves, another shady rescue cozying up with a kill buyer just as Christy cozies up with her kill buyer buddy, Brian Moore) and others. No doubt she is celebrating having netted and cleaned yet another dozen or more 'fish'!

So, just how high is the total body count when it comes to AC4h? Your guess is as good as mine, but there have been many horses that lost their lives because of Christy's cruelty and the number just continues to climb.

• Pearl, the black TWH mare
• Party Boy
• Faith the grulla mare with extremely severe laminitis
• Possibly Hero, the little gray ex-Amish gelding with a bad hind leg who disappeared completely from the broker lot following an uproar over his condition and lack of treatment
• the 30+-year-old mare represented by Christy as being much younger, that died of a stroke just days after Joe Renner hauled her out of the broker lot
• Two pregnant mares and their foals, plus a third foal whose dam survived thanks to immediate veterinary intervention, that all had been bailed by Rosemary Farms;
• The mare that had been bailed by a former AC4h supporter, only to go down in the trailer and ending up being euthanized at Days' End Rescue

These are just a handful but I know there are many more sad and unfortunate cases of horses losing their lives no thanks to the lack of care while in Christy's filthy, money-grubbing clutches. As many of you are aware, she is currently under investigation by the Feds following an April 30 raid by the FBI. Without a doubt, many more stories such as these will surface during her trial in federal court.

Stay tuned.
