I know, I thought there was more convo about Gerry in the past. Ernie was a jerk to deal with, he made stupid decisions, and his farm has been hard to work with in the past from my own experience. Nice people, they just didnt have their shit together. He wasn't involved day to day on the farm, so I'm sure he had no idea what was going on. I'm not making excuses for him, but Really.. be an owner not just a check signer..
I can't comment as I don't know anything about the particulars. The one thing I did hear was that he might have noticed that his feed bill was a tiny fraction of the amount it normally is and some idiotic excuse about getting racefit track horses ready to breed by getting them trimmer. No one in their right mind makes that kind of excuse....
There was a case in Canada of an owner going overseas and having paid someone to look after his horses. The person took the money and never set foot on the farm. Luckily someone noticed the lane hadn't been plowed and it had a few feet of snow..... The horses were dead or emaciated. It is impossible to trust someone if the owner is absent. I have no inside info on either case so don't like to say much.
