Horse needs help with #'s

Shotgun93 · 04-02-2006, 09:21 AM

Unfortunetly, until the laws change, if the animal is getting food, water and shelter, then there is nothing that can be done.

However, the barn manager should have a clause about reasonable care in their contract and if the owner doesn't meet that care, then the manager reserves the right to either evict the boarder, or get the care the horse needs and bill the owner, and if the owner doesn't pay, the BM can then put a lien on the horse.

That's what I was thinking, ALL boarding facilities should have some sort of an agreement like this, I'm sure most of them would.

I dont know how some horse owners can turn a blind eye on these types of things, it happens alot over here too but probably worse as horses are'nt in boarding facilities, they're mostly on private land, some of the horses I've come across in the last two months (have started trimming feet) have been totaly unkept, havent been trimmed for a year or so, or trimmed way wrong,

sorry rant over, let us know how you are getting on with this caes

Actually, lack of PROPER CARE is also abuse and they CAN step in.

Keep trying the SPCA since the animal control people are idiots.

This horse is being neglected = abuse. The ASAPA, if they don't go out to see this horse, something or someone you are talking to has air in his/her head, sorrry but this is insane and the barn manager gets paid to water, feed and shelter this horse, does he/she not see this horse is in need of medical attention? I feel that someone if the ASPCA does not step in, my main fear? is that crack and sice he is showing pain in movement their might be an infection spreading this is very serious, this horse, though not a vet student could he became Septic?

Weeks have gone by and no word on this horse, no action on behalf od the ASPCA, I am very suprised...

I hope this horse gets seen soon, something...

OMG.... I had the same thought.... and then felt bad about it...

What I would do if I was the barn manager, I would send a certified letter to the owner requesting the animal be taken care of or remove the horse within 15-30 days (depending on eviction laws)

get the owner's attention.

I shocks me that someone would leave a horse like this, but it does not surprise me. this is neglect.

It amazes me that anyone would suggest you handle or treat this horse in any way. What is it with people on here going in stalls and messing with other peoples horses. You have absolutely no right to handle touch or treat another persons horse. There are legal issues here. If you did this in my barn you would be asked to leave... on the other hand, I don't allow the horses to become neglected , it is my job to make sure the horses are taken care of.

The BM should be taking care of this. I would talk to him again, and let him know you are calling the ASPCA, again and again.

If you get this hoof treated the ASPCA can do nothing when they come out.

I want to meet the farrier that can shoe a horse and the shoe's stay on for a year.

I just got a mare in that has had shoe's on for 6 months, she lost one 2 days ago, the farrier is coming this morning to pull and trim. I am covering the cost and will get the money back from the boarder,I am the BM it is my job to oversee care of the horses.
