Western Pleasure Trainer needed |
| |
|
Hi, I am looking for a western pleasure trainer who is knowledgable with A rated and regional level shows. I own an arab whom I show in AHA classes all over the coast, and am hoping to make it to the east coast championship this year. I do most of my horses training myself, but would like the help of an experienced trainer to get us polished for show season! I am willing to help the trainer learn about arabian western pleasure if not expeirenced with the breed. I simply need help with perfecting his lope, and of course my posture/riding. We are located in Manorville but can travel to you.

Re: Gettysburg |
| |

I went to mapquest.com, it says from Centereach it should take 5 hours to get to Gettysburg. Of
course that doesn't account for the traffic getting off Long Island but even with traffic I can't see it
taking anywhere near 9 hours. Mapquest also gives directions but I recommend taking an atlas too.

Oral Meds |
| |
|
Check with your vet. I have given certain oral meds crushed in appled sauce or strawberry yogurt (go figure didn't like vanilla - SMILE). Two of my horses would like the apple sauce or yogurt out of their cups. I have also syringed meds into a horse mixing it with unsweetened apple juice (this was harder). Good luck --

Giving Oral Meds |
| |
|
My horse is afraid of syringes/dewormer. I core an apple, then I squirt the whole contents of the syringe into the center of the apple and feed it. You may want to try that with the meds. I have also mixed it with grain, hay stretcher, granola bars etc. He's a little suspicious at first, but eventually eating the food wins out in his mind! For future reference some companies such as Farnam are starting to come out with a pelleted dewormer that can be mixed in with grain.

looking to half board calm horse for hacking in the park |

I am looking for a horse to half board/ half lease on Connetquot Park, preferably on the Islip side of the park. I am an experienced rider looking for a sane, sound, quiet horse to hack in the park a few days a week and possibly some ring work. I have owned several horses,done a little combined training, hunted a few times but my main love is to hunter pace. I need a quiet horse as I am getting a bit older and do not mend after hitting the dirt as quickly as I did before. my time is now limited due to work and would love to keep your horse fit and have fun at the same time. I would be riding at about 2:30 on one weekday and would like to have one weekend day. Horse must be able to go out alone as during the week I ride alone. Please call 516-383-5407

The latest on the Parks |
| |
|
Here's a message that was posted on the Facebook group Long Island United Horse Community:
Good Morning,,,
After a very intense meeting this morning with the President and General Manager of the Long Island Radio group as well as two top executives pertaining to issue surrounding park closures on Long Island, I am proud to say that we now have the support of all six radio stations. Attending this meeting and speaking for all that use State and local parks on Long Island, there are many issues that we are all unaware of.
Albany, as we all know, has a big problem - the deficit in Albany on park issues is approximately $22,000,000.00. To fix the problem we first need to understand the problem. I will be attending a meeting next week with the head of the New York State Parks Department. This meeting will be one-on-one with several others asking the simple question, “How much and how do we fix it.”
We have some very good ideas that will be presented - ideas that have come from the people of Long Island as well as associations I have had the opportunity of meeting involved in the equine community.
Last but not least, upon conclusion of my meeting with the Long Island Radio Group, we were given a Marketing Grant for 60 second public service announcement that I will be doing as well as a ½ hour show on Long Island Look Out hosted by Frank Brinker and special political guest - name to follow. This grant is in the amount of $20,000.00.
We are making noise !!! We are getting their attention !!! We WILL Save Our Parks.!!

QT |
| |
|
QT is quarantine. When a new horse comes from a rescue situation, especially an auction they can bring illnesses with them, especially strangles. Normally the horse goes into quarantine (QT) for a month, so that if they are incubating something contagious it won't effect the other horses in the barn. Regards PJ

A very correct, quiet, balanced rider who is not only able to show you how to execute movements but also able to describe HOW to do them. Great visuals!!

Have tried mixing with molasses and then mixing with soaked fees with shredded carrots, but if she smells it she won't eat. If I get the paste into her mouth ( a battle in itself) she will spit it out if i don't get it far back enough. She's supposed to get meds am and pm and for a while so any advice is appreciated!!!

C.B (Mint Condition) - A Fond Farewell |

Just letting everyone know that C.B. - long time member of the Rudolfer family at Willow Rock Farm - passed on to Willow Rock North early this week. C.B. has been with Johnna for over 20 years, and had been going strong and still going for rides up until just the last few months. He was well over 30 years old, and just an amazing, sweet horse who was good at anything anybody asked him to do. He will be missed by many as he was a huge part of Willow Rock Farm. Condolences to Johnna, Lucy and Mike during this difficult time. I'm sure Stefan is taking wonderful care of him at Willow Rock North, along with all the special Willow Rock horses that have gone before.

Brian Foley's response to that parks letter |
| |
|
Thank you for contacting my office regarding the governor’s proposed closure of state parks in the 2010-2011 Executive Budget. Citizens who keep in touch with their elected officials play a crucial part in our legislative process.
In these difficult economic times, Long Islanders increasingly rely on our parks and beaches for affordable, safe, and family friendly recreation. That’s why I have worked with advocates and park goers in Suffolk County to fight any proposal to close our parks.
On February 21, I organized a protest against possible park closures which was attended by nearly 300 local residents. Our message is clear: Closing parks is not the solution to New York State’s fiscal troubles. These parks belong to the public and closing them would be unacceptable.
In addition to organizing a protest and speaking out publicly against potential closings, I have launched a petition drive to support our parks. The petition has already been signed by hundreds of Long Islanders. You can sign the petition by clicking here or visiting www.nysenate.gov/petition/save-long-islands-parks
I sincerely hope that you will continue to communicate with my office on this and other important issues throughout the year. From reducing property taxes to delivering aid to our schools, to ensuring that all my constituents have access to quality, affordable healthcare, I am committed to improving the lives of working families throughout Suffolk County.
Kindest Regards,
Brian X. Foley,

Parks letter sent by a 19 year old college student |
| |
|
Dear Senators,
I am outraged and horrified that New York State is considering closing our parks. As a young person on Long Island, I know what it is like to have our outdoor activity options limited. The parks are the only place where my friends and I can go to relax, be outside in Nature, and get some physical activity, free of charge. I frequently go for walks, hikes, bike rides and horseback riding in the parks, whether it's with my friends, my family or one particular companion. The parks are a vital part of Long Island's atmosphere - they provide a critical link between society and the environment that doesn't exist most places on Long Island. Furthermore, they are a wonderful conduit for introducing young children to the beauty and value of nature. The parks are especially valuable to families looking for a beautiful, fun thing to do together on a budget. Movies, shopping trips, dining out and amusement parks are all expensive; parks are supposed to be there whenever citizens want to just pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the environment of the place they call home. Without our parks, Long Island just wouldn't be the same - many Senators are worried about the exodus out of New York State and especially off of Long Island, but, believe me, as a young college student, closing the parks is definitely not a good way to stop all the educated young people from fleeing as quickly as we can. The parks were always my favorite thing about New York, and I know I am not the only one.
Finally, If we are to learn anything at all from the current global climate change crisis, it should be that, for future generations to survive at all, human beings need to be closer to and have a greater understanding of the natural world we inhabit. If there aren't any parks and wild places for the public to visit at their will, how are people supposed to learn this message?
As your constituent and a voting member of the community, I urge to please do everything you can to keep the budget from passing on April first and to keep our parks open.
Thank you for your time and consideration. This issue is of utmost importance to me and to many people in the region.
Sincerely,
------
From Janine-
It does pay to send them to college! I might ad here that she sent this letter to everyone on the mail list that was posted earlier on the board.

Have you ever used a park? 
Would you like to use it again?
Are you angry they want to close our parks? 
Then help us organize the mother of all rallies!
Tom Mele is sponsering a pre-rally organizational meeting March 26 at the Sheraton Hotel in Hauppauge NY, open to people who head up groups that would really lose out if the parks close.
Check out the IHA site, www.isliphorsemensassociation.com

Anyone have any fertile Easter Egger eggs I could hatch |
| |
|
I have a broody hen who wants to hatch out some eggs deperately.
I am looking for some fertile Easter Egger eggs to see if she can do it (and add some color to my egg basket)the eggs do not have to be pure EE (my chickens are all mixes as it is), I just want some blue, pink,olive etc.. eggs. I am willing to pay say $20 for 4-6 eggs and would prefer local to shipping through the mail.
Thank you for your time

We need help trying to save the Long Island Parks that the state is planning to close down. Everyone can help to save our parks by calling your local assemblyman, our local senators, and our governor David A. Paterson. The only way that we can keep these parks open is by raising awareness about the problem and then letting our representatives know about our discontent. Below is the listing of the contact information for our representatives so lets get to work! April 1st is just around the corner!
New York State Assembly:
http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/
Just type in your zipcode on the right to get the information that you need.
NYS Senators:

And Then They Dance... |
| |
|
It's 3 AM and our 14 year old dog is barking aimlessly - to go out..just to get lost in the yard.
She wets my rug..right in front of me.
She has no shame. She's mostly blind.
I'm lucky just to cut the knots out of her coat, and hope she makes it off alive - off the grooming table.
Cortisone flows like wine - for her aches and pains.
Tomorrow will be the last day.
No more.
Tomorrow comes...
She can see me out in the bright sunshine, and she playfully pretends to nip my fingers. She hops back a few steps ...barks....and smiles. One snaggletooth smile.
And then they dance....
The horse is on three legs more than four.
Some days he wheezes like a freight train.
He's 25. He eats Nursing Home mash.
Curls are all over his once sleek coat due to too little thyroid.
His knees are knobby, and he's dog ugly.
He just nipped me in the rear because his feet hurt. A little nip..a please don't hurt me.
He walks like House.
Tomorrow will be the last day.
No more.
Tomorrow comes...
He snuffs my hair and breathes a grassy hello up my nose. He follows me..when he never does.
Out of nowhere, he goes and gives a little buck and rolls, shaking the grass off his wooly coat. He snorts.
And then, they dance....
It's a Chicken! Get over it. She's skinny as a rail, and you haven't seen an egg in months.
The others pick on her now.
The rooster isn't even interested in her anymore, and he's always interested in any gal.
She's lying on the ground now soaking up what sun she can - and a hen passing by pecks her comb.
Her beautiful comb, once bright red, now..almost gone.
Tomorrow will be the last day.
No more.
Tomorrow comes.
She has a burst of energy and delights in finding a night crawler. It hangs from her beak. The others try to rush her - but she remembers. Remembers the spot where the others can't find her. She limps fast.
The rooster leans against her - later in the run... and protects her.... he lashes out at a fresh hen.
An old misshapen egg is found in a nest that only she loved. She settles down on it..hoping.
And then they dance.
Damn cat. Litter box is empty, but my pile of laundry is full.
She can't jump up on her favorite spot anymore, so we lift her.
She wails through the night because she is lost and can't hear us.
If she has five teeth - that's a lot.
We feed all canned food now.
She sleeps all day.
She is twenty one. She's had a good life.
Tomorrow will be the last day.
No more.
Tomorrow comes...
An unraveled string from my pants - trails the floor after my boots. She pounces. She rubs against my leg for the second meal of the day.
Settled on the couch, she makes it up this time, and purrs and sings a lullaby for me and her.
And then they dance.....

To: heavensentforever - Re: "Hot Lips" |
| |
|
I just read your post from last year about who to avoid at swap meets due to her stealing and reselling your stuff. So I offer you some advice...
How to spot a Crazy:
1) They steal your stuff and try to sell it (she tried to sell me your saddle by the way...)
2) They threaten to sue random horse show moms, and probably everyone else too
3) Addicted to usage of herb, I mean herbs
4) bright red lipstick is usually a dead giveaway
5) they call you in the middle of the night, drunk/high/god knows what, asking you to take over for the 60y/o "girl" that she hired to replace you while you were getting your tonsils out
6) they try to teach a western-broke ranch horse to jump by throwing it over jumps, breaking the jumps and nearly breaking the horses legs
7) they tell you that you dont know how to ride
and my personal favorite:
8) wearing show clothes inappropriate for time period
Hope you get your stuff back eventually. And remember, you can't fix crazy.

MADNESS
Share
Friday, November 27, 2009 at 8:28am
Why do I like horses? I reckon I must be mad. My mother wasn’t horsey And neither was my dad. But the madness hit me early And it hit me like a curse. And I’ve never gotten better In fact I’ve gotten worse. My stables are immaculate. My house is like a hovel. Last year for my birthday I got a brand new shovel. I hardly read a paper But I know who’s sold their horse And I wouldn’t watch the news If Mr. Ed was on, of course. One eye’s always on the heavens But my washing waves in vain As I rush to get the horses in In case it’s gonna rain. And though they’re wearing 15 rugs, The best that you can get, I bring them in to keep them dry While I get soaking wet. I spend up every cent I’ve got On horsey stuff for sure. I buy fancy rugs and fancy rugs, And then I by some more. I should have had that hair cut Or bought that nice blue shirt At least it wouldn’t be n ow Ripped to shreds and in the dirt. I can’t make a bloody sponge cake I don’t even try But I can back a truck and trailer In the twinkling of an eye. It’s pants and R.M. boots That I live in night and day And that smell of sweaty horses Just doesn’t wash away. Once in every… now and then I can dress up for a ball. Make up and a hairdo With high heel shoes and all. I ache from long forgotten falls. My knees have got no skin. My toes have gone a funny shape. >From being squashed again. But late at night, when all is still And I’ve gone to give them hay, I touch their velvet softness And my worries float away. They give a gentle nicker And they nuzzle through my hair And I know it’s where my heart is More than anywhere.

I attended the NYNE meeting at Connetquot this evening, we had a good turnout. We all need to become actively involved and make sure OUR tax monies are used to preserve the parks and beaches on Long Island. A state legislator once told me that the most attention is paid to written letters from individuals and phone calls. Email is good but letters are better. The recent US Supreme Court decision will have a tremendous and damaging effect on our electoral process. There are now virtually no restrictions on the amounts of money banks and other corporations can spend funding candidates. There will be MILLIONS spent on vicious ad campaigns against candidates who are for average working people. The big multinational corporations are solidly against open space preservation, environmental protection and consumer protection regulations. WE need to put apathy and petty differences aside and save our way of life before Long Island is nothing but a sea of traffic, condos and Walmarts. Nobody is going to do it for us. Please stay informed about state and local politics and attend as many rallies and meetings on these issues as you can.

ASPCA - CANTER |
| |
|
Ponytales. I know this annoye you but the funds go to the NATIONAL CANTER organization and individual CANTER groups can apply for the funds. So no, not the Michigan CANTER solely.
Yes, other groups will also get funds. But they are mostly for ex racers.
CANTER would like to use the funds to rehab horses so they can go on to useful careers.
Several other boards have reported on this topic and none of them report any restrictions on use of the funds to CANTER owned horses only.
I have emailed a friend at the National group for clarification.
But this is the type of program that I have no problem contributing to. The auctions, not so much.
But I'm sure you must have noticed that the intent is to retrain and rehome ex racers BEFORE it gets to the point of the auctions.
So again, retrain, rehome as opposed to hoarding.

apparently long island is having some serious issues with state of new york.i'm seeing all these posts about parks being closed and it makes no sence to me. also in my school thers been talk about getting rid of the musical and the one act play festival and jv sports and a lot of the art and music classes. this is all happening becouse the state gives long island school less than half of the money they give the rest of the state!! they seem to think that becouse its longs island and used to be a vacation place for weathy people that we have money and they couldnt be more wrong. everyone is being effected by this reccesion. (my teacher told me this) my school will be writing letters to the state about the budget but i think we should all do something about the parks as well.

HELMETS |

There are soooooooooooooooooooooooo many reasons why people won't wear helmets while riding horses,riding bikes,skateboards skiing etc. The next you go out for a on a horse, a bike, a skateboard,skiing...if another wants to come along wanting to ride his or her horse,skateboard,bike etc....please tell them I love you too much to lose you...WEAR A HELMET!!!!! If they give you an excuse, don't ride with 'em. I know I may start alot of controversy over this, but I stand next to my convictions....I always say....."Just like a seatbelt, a helmet may not save your life, but at least you did your best to protect your head using a astm sei certified helmet while riding a mobile partner...be it a HORSE, A BIKE, A SKATEBOARD...etc....
p.s. for children under the age of 14, it is required that they wear astm sei certified helmets...and still parents don't heed that...doesn't matter the age of a person...it matters that we all want to age..that way we can go on living and enjoying!(:

Our Parks...A Disgrace. |
| |
|
I belong to a photography club, and we were talking about the closing of the parks this week.
This is big trouble.
On Caleb Smith, conjecture is; that condos may go up around the lake. It makes sense as time goes on - and prime real estate sits there.
If Connetoquoit closes during the week, exactly what are the horse owners - who made a specific choice to live there with their equines...supposed to do? The horses are going to go nutty without exercise - if they are trail loving horses...and the owners too.. no doubt ....
"Ah, a long day at work, let me saddle up Louie...uh...no"....
No more smell of salty chlorine at Jones Beach? How utterly sad...such a memory. The roads at West End now are all potholes.
Orient Point..the North End of our Island..closed????
Deer can be pesky critters, but it was so nice to see them back at Caleb after an absence for many years.
No more canoeing down the Nissequogue either?
Yes, we are flooding Congress on this.
Please try to get every person you know to write.
Eleven Million Dollars..no doubt Paterson used more than that for his personal entertainment...sorry.. but that is a mere pittance, to keep our parks open.
I guess the Yankee tickets were more important.

There are a lot of scammers out there on that board. I did see you...Destiny (and some numbers).

Levy Urges NY Officials to Keep Parks Open via Private Partnerships
Says Proposed Closure of State Parks Can be Avoided through Private-Sector Role
Hauppauge , NY – Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy is urging New York officials to enlist the private sector to ensure that proposed closures of state parks are averted so that residents can enjoy the full benefits of all state parks facilities.
The State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation today released its recommended list of closures and service reductions “in order to achieve its 2010-11 agency savings target and help address the State’s historic fiscal difficulties.” (See list of targeted Long Island parks, at bottom.)
Levy said state park closures may be able to be avoided if the New York brought in the private sector to run parks facilities. Accordingly, Levy is urging the state to issue a Request for Proposals seeking private-sector bids to operate jeopardized parks.
“The closure of pristine and immensely valued state parks could possibly be averted by allowing private interests to bid to operate these parks,” said Levy. “Such an opportunity could enable these private operators to set admission and concession fees as a way of balancing their financial objectives and ensuring their success.”
As an added attraction, Levy said, private-sector parks operators could be allowed to consider parks sponsorship/naming opportunities as a potential revenue source or to advertise their own name as they choose during the period of operation.
In 2009, state parks and historic sites across the U.S. cut back hours, staffing and services because of state budgets squeezed by the economic downturn. In New York, 100 of the state’s 178 state parks and 35 historic sites reduced services, from closing pools and beaches to shortening hours of operation. But none of the parks or sites closed entirely.
Levy said state officials must act quickly to prevent the following proposed Long Island park closures and service reductions this year, as announced today:
Brookhaven State Park, Suffolk -- Close Park
Bethpage State Park, Suffolk -- Eliminate winter sports, reduce picnic area and polo field
Caleb Smith State Park Preserve, Suffolk -- Close Park
Cold Spring Harbor State Park, Suffolk -- Close Park
Connetquot River State Park, Suffolk -- Close Weekdays
Heckscher State Park, Suffolk -- Close swimming pool
Jones Beach State Park, Nassau -- Close West Swimming Pool, eliminate July 4th fireworks
Montauk Downs State Park, Suffolk -- Close Swimming Pool
Nissequogue River State Park, Suffolk -- Close Park
Orient Beach State Park, Suffolk -- Close Park
Trail View State Park, Suffolk -- Close Park

The SPCA did not give "CANTER" 1 million. The SPCA is giving 1 million to various TB retirement and re-homing facilities over the course of several years. CANTER Michigan is one of the recipients and it is NOT for the trainer owned portion of CANTER, it is for the ADOPTION portion of CANTER....those horses go with contracts just like mine and any other rescue.

Rescuing |

I agree with Ponytales & have seen what goes on at Camelot. The only other auction I haven't been to is Unadilla, but I plan on it at the end of the month. Yes, it surely is tough & a tear jerker at times, but it's gives you a much better perspective once you've attended & then you know most of the "truths" behind the actual auction scene.
There are several reputable rescue groups near me (just 2 hrs from LI) that do attend Unadilla, New Holland & other auctions. They all work together in regularly bailing horses that are desperately in need, some just hrs before the "big truck" leaves for that "place" we all fear of.
All I can say is I commend them for their hard work & efforts day in & day out. If I didn't have a full time job & animals of my own to take care of I'd be right at the front lines.
Also, if you are a private individual, rescue group or a group of ppl wanting to help...make sure you have the funds to fully care for a rescue horse long term, and not just try to get rid of it when things become too expensive (this too I have seen happen). Make sure you have all doors open when helping rescue a horse, it's only fair to the animal. And don't just keep taking in horse after horse because you feel bad for them, but then allow them to sit, watch their feet overgrow, run out of hay, or forget about needed surgical procedures...all things that cost $$$ but all things needed when caring for a large animal. Chipping in & helping rescue organizations is a great thing & I urge more of you to help if you can....Be safe everyone.

Parks are set to Close April 1 NO JOKE |
| |
|
Hello from Sharyn,
I hope you are all aware that we are in real danger of our parks closing! It is not a joke and this is very real.
Someone sent out this e mail - I was on a mass list of people who received it. The lady who wrote this I will not disclose who she is (she can take credit if she likes). She is very savvy and knows what time of day it is. What she wrote scared me to death.
Read below:
______________________________________________
In a message dated 3/3/2010 8:44:44 A.M. Eastern Standard Time,
I agree that we should be part of a State iniative, however, keep in mind that the rest of NY State has more land available for agriculture than we have on LI. I believe that the NYS Horse Council advocates 1 horse per acre. That would be a disaster for us here on LI. We need a local voice here on Long Island - whether it's through NSHA or forming a coalition of equine groups in our area.

Clarification |
| |

I'm not saying don't bail horses Lynn, BUT I am saying you may want to stick to bailing horses that are going to LEGITIMATE homes. About 60% of those being pulled by a certain "group" are showing up back at other auctions, on Craigs List, or in terribly inadequate homes. Someone that is on another list that I am on had a very good analogy:
I'm a firefighter, I pull you from a burning building and then throw you in front of a tractor trailer traveling at 60 MPH down the highway....am I still a hero since I pulled you from the burning building?
I don't "dislike" Frank, but he is what he is which is a Killbuyer. Unlike most of the other auctions houses (except Sugar Creek) Frank also ships to slaughter and is a dealer, so any horse that goes through his auction is in danger of being shipped to slaughter if the bid is not high enough. At the other auctions there are outside KB's and Dealers there that bid but the owners of the auction houses do not bid and send horses to slaughter.

Rescues -Adopt or Buy? |

Well it looks like the ASPCA thinks CANTER is doing something right because they just gave them $1MM.
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/aspca-announces-million-dollar-rescuing-racers-initiative-85954517.html
From the article:
"Plans include expanding direct intake programs, incorporating physical therapy/rehabilitation programs, renovating facilities to accommodate more horses, creating voucher programs to increase adoptions, and implementing training programs for thoroughbreds to ready them for second careers."
Note the reference to second careers. That should allow a lot more "rinse and repeat' situations.

King Charles Cavaleir puppy |
| |
|
I have a friend who has a 6 month old pure King Charles Cavalier puppy. Neutered and adorable. Her 3 year old is terribly allergic and she can not keep him. He is white and light brown and very sweet and affectionate. He is good with kids and other animals.
She is only interested in finding a good home and doesnt want money for him. If you are interested, please email me at CDomb@aol.com.

Actually, many rescue are invloved in New Holland...i am part of those groups too on fb and ever week there a pictures of horse that are taken from new holland for adoption or pictures of horss from a broker's lot where rescues go to tke pics to post to save the horses..some times we see pics on Fb and no one takes the horse and it does go to canada..but the rescues try..there is al unadilla rescue group too just no pics..like britt said..but the rescue takes whatthey can and then adopts out..i know i tout facebook alot on here but thats how i stay up on the current activities in our horse community..There are also rescue groups on there that are postng bail for cats and dogs on kill shelters across the country..they r bailing out small animals instead of having them gassed,,which is how they eithanize in MANY states..and those groups operate the same as the horse rescue..pics are on there of the cats and dogs too...and just for the record,Frank is not a bad guy..he is not responsible for those horses..he is a business man and wants to see those horses adopted out,,yes he has to keep some in pen #10 so there is a full load for the trucks on sunday but thats the way it goes..he didnt not bring the horses there he is just rnning his business...any horses he does bring in get aucined off to new homes and from there it is STILL not his responsibility,,horses get slaughtered cuz there are too many,,lets do what we can to save what we can ut get over the fact that somewhere some horse is gonna go to slaughter..we cant save them all and its time for everyone to accept that

OK- I am confused. Please educate me. From your post it sounds like you do not like Frank? Not that I blame you, but at least at Camelot the horses get a chance to be saved? Where at New Holland and Unadilla any horses not bought on the spot ship straight to slaughter? Am I getting this right? When I read some of the people taking horses fron Camelot they seem pretty legit. At least I pray that they are. I would hate to bail one only to have it end up in another bad situation. Should I not bail? I am crying over #383. Halflinger baby. I would even pay for future gelding for him as someone I spoke to said they are only taking fillies because the extra cost in gelding. Please get back with the answers. Your #1 fan.

Duck keeping on LI |
| |
|
Sorry that this really isn't horse re-lated at all, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any laws against keeping a duck in the Town of Islip? I am interested in getting a duckling during the Spring and I'm not having much luck finding laws about keeping one. Thanks in advance!

I beg your pardon but I have been rescuing horses at Unadilla for a very long time. Long before people decided to throw money at Frank Carper and send the "rescued" horses off to god knows where. Infact I am scheduled to got to Unadilla tomorrow, just like I did 2 weeks prior and will every other Friday. The reason why people do not do this at Unadilla and New Holland are because Unadilla and New Holland auctions are not owned by a Dealer/Kill Buyer. The Chambers boys dont buy up horses at their auction to ship to slaughter, once in a while they may buy a quality horse for their personal use or resale down the line. You either buy the horse in the ring at Unadilla or it is lost, there is no week to take pictures (which are strictly forbidden at both Unadilla and New Holland BTW), descriptions, and beg for people to send money. You need to go to the sale, money in hand, trailers in tow and stalls waiting for QT. We pulled 8 horses 2 weeks ago and had no empty spots left in our barns or trailers.
