I'm very happy with my horses. This all seems to be about finances. AC4H is not a rescue. She pulls animals from kill pens and offers them for sale. Obviously making an income. Why is everyone so offended about it? Is it jealousy? Ok so many of her animals were injured. Does this mean these animals don't deserve to be rescued? Who is there now saving animals? Rescues that take on one or two new animals every three months? How is that helping those animals. Its real easy to critisize others and they are doing. But she was doing something and all those horses were getting out of the kill pens. What are the rest of the facebook chatters doing? Posting and in the process destroying other people's work. Oh piss off all of you. Good for John for firing this pathetic lady. I stand with the brave and while they are doing good, I hope they make money on the process. If the issue is about reporting income, there is no reason to stop rescuing. Thos horses still need saving!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097160197246605978.post-24716600976575926842014-06-27T16:51:56.478-05:002014-06-27T16:51:56.478-05:00I know what blood sweat and tears Mindy Lovell has...I know what blood sweat and tears Mindy Lovell has gone through to save tbs and I believe her friend Jo-Claire the same. I used to love horseracing, first as a fan and later an owner. I won't give any tb breeder another 10 cents of my money. As far as I'm concerned Horseracing Wrongs should have more fans than the Superbowl.

And, for John to send out an email through AWI even addressing the issue is unethical and shows that he does, in fact, take sides. Otherwise, he would have remained silent and he would not have asked Jo Claire to resign. John, you've done a lot for the plight of horses in general and I think I can safely say that we all appreciate that. But when it comes to this, you need to buck up and admit you have a friendship with her and support her on some level. Your response to the recent situation speaks for itself. It would just be nice to hear it directly from you.

I think this entire situation has blown up to a point that it never should have. They are a great organization. As far as the picture of John with Christy, he took many pictures that day with people that were there.. it means nothing other than that.

I will be more than happy to tell you who I am; my name is Sally Schrock and I've been waging war with AC4h and Voice For Horses for more than three years now and exposing their scams respectively. For a period of time, Voice For Horses (founded and run by Diana Murphy out of Toledo, Ohio) was in cahoots with Christy Sheidy; she fundraised for more than 300 broker horses through AC4h in 2010, netting over $330k. They have since then parted ways, but VFH is still up to no good on its own.<br /><br />If you Google AC4h, you will get more than you bargained for. Be sure to visit Guidestar.org and run a search for Another Chance 4 Horses, then read the reviews. Some of them are obviously from AC4h associates and their diehard supporters, but the majority are from honest people who thought they were getting the horse of their dreams, but instead were "taken for a ride". Many of those stories are quite shocking, not to mention heartbreaking.ByteG8Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919824941187343439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097160197246605978.post-5132902691142343992014-05-18T12:03:15.736-05:002014-05-18T12:03:15.736-05:00To those of you reading this particular blog entry...To those of you reading this particular blog entry, I deleted 'Anonymous' 's second comment because she posted her email address in it, and I certainly do not want her to be subjected to harassment and bullying from Christy Sheidy and her associates. <br /><br />I will say, however, that she did tell me in the deleted comment that Christy's daughter rode the gelding while he was in the broker lot and he seemed to be OK then--which strongly suggests to me that he was likely drugged prior to his "evaluation" to cover up his lameness issue.ByteG8Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919824941187343439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097160197246605978.post-10299983789772450202014-05-18T01:30:36.360-05:002014-05-18T01:30:36.360-05:00I read this post and was shocked.

If someone is scamming those of us who help to save horses from slaughter, it should be common knowledge.

After vet and farrier visits (which were done immediately)I contacted Christy and sent her copies of the diagnosis from vet and farrier and also a video clip that gave clear view of the horses lamness.<br />Ac4h insisted that > something must have happened< after I purchased him. He had not been ridden and the limp was apparent after he came out of quarantine.<br />I asked could I return horse? Or swap or get some credit toward another horse? Or maybe some cash, as I had already paid 1200 for horse, also for coggins, quarentine and vet/farrier visits.<br />Christy said that the money was"Gone". I never got hack a cent. Horse was rehomed as a companion pet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
