Thank you for helping the SPCA by posting these horses here.

Sharp Gal's owner is Virginia Stack and We We C. was not yours either and she is one of the ones that died.

Thank you soundfast.

Obviously, I'm struggling to stay composed. Our mare is, in fact, dead. If you google any of the articles regarding this case on the internet, you will most likely come across a picture of WeWe C as she looked in June. She was beautiful.

I have deleted two posts and edited a third. I will not tolerate people disregarding the rules of this message board. If people continue to post without respect for this board's rules, there will be deactivated accounts.

[Derby Lyn]

I counted 35+ horses listed-where are the rest? Did they belong to other people? Or are they not healthy enough to adopt out yet.

[Jenny]

That was my point exactly on another thread. I really think it is the FL SPCA responsibility to say when they are ready for adoption, and to my knowledge they have not publicly put the word out. I am sure they would really love to make that announcement. Then there financial responsibility would be over when they have left for a safe and happy new home. Can you imagine the expense they have incurred???? and this is not the only case going on right now. Think about all the cats and dogs etc.

Another point is I am sure only certain people are privy to the specific information and certain people would most definitely not be on their priority list to keep informed and in the loop.

You all saw some of those photos, I really do not think it take a mere 6 weeks to get these horses back to health. I have rescued a few in my time and it took a hell of a lot longer than that!!!! So I think it will be quite a while till they are ready to be adopted and the FL SPCA make the official announcement regardless of what others may have posted.

As with any media, they like to show the worst case scenario, which in turn the pictures that were made public would have been of the horses in the worst condition. Since none of us were actually there when this took place we don't know the state of all of the horses. There may be some that are ready or will soon be ready because they weren't in as poor condition as the others.

I also don't think Gerry was trying to intentionally set people off or spite the SPCA. My opinion is that she knew a lot of people were wondering what all horses were there at her farm and she compliled a list. Granted we can all see that it's not a complete list but it is more than what we had before so thank you for that information.

[BridledObsession]

Well, they did offer to send me a picture of my mare. Her body score was a 1 out of a possible 9. I have a photo taken of her within a week before she was picked up by Gerry. I could post before and after --- then maybe we can all see who wants to thank her for what. Much too little, too late.

[Mikki79]

Bridled,

We all feel for your pain, believe me we do, and you are aware of this as you have received nothing but support from everyone on this forum. You have every right to be angry and I am not trying to take that away from you, I don't think anyone is. My point in posting is that we don't truly know the status of every horse that was there, it's obvious that some were in really poor shape but there may have been others that were not. This is a very upsetting topic for MANY people especially those who were personally involved. But at least we do have more information now than we had before her post yesterday. I've been in contact with the FL SPCA and haven't gotten a list of the horses that were taken. Now we do have a start point and anyone interested in adopting a horse now has a start point for potential horses that will be available when the SPCA is ready to release them.

[Derby Lyn]

Gerry did send me a picture, but I do not have her permission to post it here. It does show 3 mares as the SPCA was taking them and they are in good condition. So I do not think that every single horse was as emaciated as others.

[BridledObsession]

So only a lucky few were chosen to be starved -- that's what you're implying. If only one horse was chosen to be starved out of all 80, that would still make it WRONG. Posting an inaccurate list without the cooperation of the SPCA who is now in charge of their care and placement, is WRONG. She no longer has anything to do with these horses --- she CANNOT have anything to do with these horse.

If she had any compassion and awareness, she would at least have released an accurate list. Not one including deceased horses. Why is her list inaccurate?? Is it because the SPCA and the authorities will not deal with her? I suppose they have a good reason for that. Is it because she is unaware of which horses died?? I think not. You know she and her attorney have read the forum(s) and she has been formally charged and plead guilty for those deaths. If she cared at all about these horses, she knows who died. But, she published an inaccurate list anyway to be "helpful".

When the horses are ready to be adopted, a list will be made available by the SPCA or whatever organization they choose. In the meantime, they are being very well cared for.

She is looking for attention here and feeding her compulsion to be involved with the horse world. If you still feel you need info from her, there are forum members who have her phone number. I'm one of them....I'd be happy to give it to you. In the meantime, I'd prefer to have a little bit less of her help. She's done quite enough.

[Mikki79]

I am not going to argue with you. It's not productive, especially with a matter as sensitive as this. I sympathize with everyone who was personally involved and obviously what i'm trying to say isn't being taken in the context in which it was meant to be.

What is the chance that the SPCA may have confused some of the horses? They do need to work with Gerry, even if it is just to make sure that positive ID's are made on all the horses, as she (in theory) had daily contact with the horses so she'd be able to ID them more readily than someone who was introduced to the horses a month ago. And vice versa Gerry needs to co-operate with the SPCA which seems to be happening from the info that has been made public. You have to assume that there was a lot of confusion during the seizure, tons of people and horses flying this way and that. I have several horses that look alike and by picture you can't tell the difference, but I can because I work with them daily.

[Derby Lyn]

I was only implying that some of the horses weren't as emaciated so they will be able to be adopted out quicker then others.

wanted to add that with another case that went on locally here last year. animal control siezed 69 horses, sent them all to auction and the horses were all sold without papers and identified only as Horse A1 and so on. Animal control did have the horses papers but could never correctly identify the horses unless they did DNA tests. Hopefully that is not the case here and the papers will be realeased from SPCA to new owners.

[BridledObsession]

Derby Lyn -- I am not trying to give you a hard time. I understand that some horses were not there as long as others and for whatever reason got through their ordeal better than others.

I would hope that in a higher profile case like this, these horses will not go directly to auction. The SPCA is aware that there is alot of interest in adopting these horses, they just want to work through this process as carefully as possible. Every effort must be made to reunite horses with their owners first and prospective adoptees will have to be carefully screened. The rescues involved along with other organizations will be of great assistance as well. I have also been assured by several reporters that they are going to continue to follow this story -- from court matters to the fate of the horses involved. I truly hope no horse falls through the cracks. Not one of them deserve to be mistreated in any way ever again after what they have been through.
