Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Breaking my heart

I have turned breeding farms in many times, read what I said.......if there
is food and water, they don't do a damn thing. My best bet is to expose this
asshole. The industry will take care of him, hopefully.

I sent this post out to many lists, and most are Gaited Horse lists, and
believe me, they will be emailing me to find out this guy's name. There are
lots of things that the other women and I are doing, to save these  horses.
Calling the Humane Society is not on of them, for the reasons I mentioned
above
