awesome letter

[PeggySue]

guys this really SCARES me this is in my state ...

Keep in mind I called for MONTHS on a horse down the road from me that was probably a 1 BCS and they would do NOTHING... I think the problem is that the Carriage companies in Chicago are being shut down basically... but this is really scarey!! My horses are in 4"s of mud right now... will be six or eight inches by weds with the thaw happening.. I can't even push a wheelborrow in my lot to clean my stalls... they aren't "bad" but they do have **** in them!!

the owner is needing donatation for the legal fund to fight and get the horses back so the drivers can have the horses... the carriage company is done between stupid fines and other BS she can't get the money up to do it anymore... rival companies have caused some of the problem and it has rolled on from there..

I do not think it is so GREAT that these horses were taken when there is NOTHING wrong with them... and they have people claiming which horse they want!!! anybody intereested in getting more of the story PM me and I will send you link to where I know the owner from ...

And it seems they are already trying to adopt their horses! Apparently, in June of 08 regulations were passed in Chicago outlining how carriage horses are to be kept. They have to have stables, be groomed daily. The stables have to have electricity and running water, etc. Weird so many regulations....I surmise there was a big push to eliminate it altogether and by passing these rules and regs it would put people out of business.... Just a guess.

Did you read some of the other threads in these forums? Those people are out for blood! They won't allow anyone to debate them or join their forum unless you are 100% for their cause. This is so sad and scary.

I think it's awful that people are already trying to buy the horses. They are taking advantage of the situation for their own greed. I feel sorry for what the owners are going through.
