well first of all if you seen this in the newspaper or something and you thing your barn is just fine then it is most likely not true but they are just warning people about this place so no one else gets hurt or anything. but if i was you i would move it sounds like a bad place to be and i wouldn't stay their any longer that i have to. well you could always ask other people at tack store and stuff if they know any barns in your area that would let you do that. but if you go online or ask some people or put a flier up you can find a person to trailer your horses. that is what i did and i got someone with in a few days. but good luck with finding a new place to board your horses.

Get out. Now. Get yourself and your horse far away from there and call the police. Some of that is animal abuse, and not to mention the harassment!! There are usually places where you can rent a trailer or hire somebody to trailer your horse for you. Search it on google, look in the phone book, talk to horse people who don't go to that stable. JUST GET OUT BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU AND/OR YOUR HORSE.

I think that this is a horrible stable! I would move as fast as possible, and report them to the police, and the SPCA. this is now right. I can't believe that they can even think of doing this to the children let alone the horses. I am so sorry to hear that. Good Luck at a new stable!

I would think that it’s hard to believe that all this is going on at one barn, and if I had any reason to believe that all this WAS going on, I would call the ASPCA to come out and take a look around.

Otherwise, I would think that someone who can’t spell is making up a lot of stories in order to make trouble. These stories seem incredibly unlikely and over the top; I’d want to know who wrote it before I decided if I could believe any of it.

If I DID believe any of it, my horse wouldn’t live there.

I’m going to support you whilst I dicipline you. If you read something like this, DON’T even go ona question website while your horse could be dying, or being abused. Plus, if this were my horse, and i read this, I would have taken my horse away without talking to those people again. What you do is you call the ASPCA about what they have done, and who wrote this report? It has terrible spelling, grammar, ect, and I personally hada tough time understanding this. It’s like a 4th grader’s first report ever! So get off your computer, get a trailer and take that horse away! I don’t care where, but as long as you thoroughly go through their farm. ask for a tour! If they refuse, walk away because that means they are hiding something. your horse and the other ones there deserve another chance so worry about your horse first, then call the ASPCA or visa versa. Just be sure to have them taken care of!
Good luck! and please do call the ASPCA!

I would be angry probably and worried about my horse. I would move my horse as soon as possible no matter the cost. IAt a stable like that I would also feel ucomfortable and you SHOULD report it someone that can fix like ASPCA or something if they see horses going days without water they will say soemthing as for riders getting bucked off there is usually that rule of "Ride at your own risk" if it isn't there own horse they are riding there should be a restraining order. I would deffinately move as quickly as possible and report this.

I would feel worried! heck, I might take my horse somewhere else that night, even, if it was possible! Well, for one thing, the trainer is obviously not qualified to teach! Putting anyone on a horse that is known to buck without their knowledge is 100% unacceptable! And, if its true that horses go days without water…run! Horses positively must have water all the time! when I horse gets dehydrated…it’s not pretty! And the moldy hay, well, that’s just downright dangerous! Feeding a horse moldy hay can give them numerous issues and illnesses! The answer is very very simple. Move ASAP.

And, just a few tips on choosing a new barn,
Make sure that the facilities are well kept, with no nails sticking out, or anything else that a horse could get hurt on, like barbed wire, rusty metal, or gaps he could get a hoof or leg through. Look at the other horses there. Do they have shiny coats, clear, alert eyes, friendly attitudes, and good muscle tone, and body condition? Do all of the horses have fresh water available, and does the hay smell fresh?
Also, make sure that you like the environment, and people. Try and find an instructor, you really like, and seem to agree with.
I really hope this helps you and your horse out! I wish you luck!

RUN. Get on your horse and RUN. That stable neglects horses, and that’s against the law!
