I sold a beautiful dapple grey Arabian, Beau,  to a woman in Meadow Vista, CA. A few months ago I saw him and he was all skin and bones. About 200 lbs underweight. I tried to buy him back but she won't do it. I also offered to show her how to feed him and control him because the reason he was so skinny is because she said she couldn't control him if she gave him grain or supplements. But she was doing 30 mile conditioning rides on him and he was the kind of horse that needed to be supplemented or he lost weight, which I had told her when I sold him to her. I did notify animal control when she refused to listen to me. Now he's dead, he died on my birthday 2 weeks ago, and this time animal control is doing a criminal investigation and hopefully she'll go to jail this time. If anyone has more information about how she treated him, feed him or rode him recently please e-mail me privately at arabracer1@xxxxxxxxx. I will pay a reward for any information that leads to her conviction for animal abuse and neglect. I heard a rumor that his water was tipped over for several days and he died of an impaction. If anyone can verify this please let me know.

thank you,
