As a former employee at Topline I can say James M's statements are not true. I'm sorry if you found the stalls not to your liking but I know for a fact that they are maintained clean. I would clean them once a day everyday of the week and they are cleaned by another employee on the weekends. I would get complemented on how clean the stalls were by visitors. I'm guessing James M went and viewed the barn n Sept of 2012 and i doubt Suzanne was hiding anything, there's nothing to hide. But that month was a rough month for all of us at the barn, we had to put down a great horse. Even though it was emotionally rough the stalls were still maintained. I find it humorous that James M stated that the employees were illegal immigrants when I'm white and born and raised in Washington. As far as Dimitrio who I assume James M saw and and was referring to as the illegal immigrant well he's not. To assume he is illegal because he is Hispanic is just ignorant. He's great guy and would never harm the horses in any way. I'm sure the horse owners would agree. Horses are beautiful animals and all have their own personalities some are stubborn and need to be nudged a little. Nudged not beat, and nudging is all that is done at Topline. Not everyone is going to like the barn and that's fine but to make untrue statements and accusations is just plain wrong. Suzanne and all the employees there make sure the horses are well maintained and care about their well being.
