I can't believe the people who are actually trying to defend this sick person. If I hear one more idiot say it's hard to impossible to keep weight on an old horse Im going to be violently ill. I rescued an emaciated, extremly sick, 35 year old horse. With proper vet, dental and feed care this horse got back to full weight. \r

This idiot doesnt ""Love"" horses, he is a selfish, self centered b@stard who deserves to be starved and worked till he drops to see what its like, then shoot him. Horses that work hard for a living, especially older horses need special care. Care for a regular riding horse that you keep at home or as a pasture pet horse includes having an equine dentist do the teeth at LEAST once a year, regular rotational worming, hooves trimmed every 6 weeks, 8 tops, regular vet care with a check up at least once a year, lots and lots of GOOD quality hay and either a good balanced grain and/or the right supplements. \r

Horses with sores should NOT be ridden, horses that are underweight should NOT be ridden like that, Horses that are lame should NOT be ridden! You dweebs defending him are either really ignorant about how to truely care for horses or you are just as evil as he is. It's not an excuse to say he saves them because ""he cares so much"" GAG! He's not saving them he's prolonging thier misery and compounding it daily. They would be much better off dead then living like that. I have had horses for over 40 years, from new born to ancient and a few rescues and none of them have EVER looked like that after they have been with me for a month\r

Shame on the B@stard that owns them and Shame on the ignorant who support him. There s a special place in hell for people like that. People like him and the ones defending him make me ashamed to be a human.
Pros: Hopefully the guys may be finally jailed and not allowed to own animals
Cons: Everything about the place and lack of care and the people who work there
