Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.

The hustle that pays off.  

"NOT" For Profit - A Lucrative Loophole for Equine Rescue Programs?

While The Ethic of Equine Rescue gang is signing their John Hancock on some documents.  I really felt as if this needed some elaboration.  Possibly to the tune of "pulling" on the heart strings of donors.  

Not to worry hopefully this will "yank" the rug out from under some individuals.

John Q. Public in most cases does not understand the difference between a Not For Profit and a 501c3.  As stated in the above blog, the definitions are clear between the two coveted titles.  To sum it up in laymen's terms, one is no tax write off, and one is a write off.  To most donors the difference is no real matter, unless donating a certain amount of sums that could assist in the dreaded month of April.  

What about when you see a on going trend?  

It seems that certain trends, well stay current.  Like pulling pregnant mares from auctions, no pun intended.  After all who doesn't love foals?  

"You pick your road and keep going".

On more than one occasion the travesties at New Holland have made blogs buzz, news but not note worthy to most.  And have left more than a handful of Animal and Equine Welfare activist baffled by the lack of enforcement from not one, but two separate agencies. 

In a recent article Dr. James Holt the attending veterinarian at New Holland Sales Barn, and moonlights as the  independent veterinarian that signs off on hundreds of horses death warrants for Brian Moore the notorious East Coast Kill Buyer seems to be looking for nails at low tide.

James Holt Undaunted by Threats.

The abate horse puckey that spews from this articles is immense.  

I am glad to know that Holt has his own standards that sound fantastically spoken, but reek that of week old garbage.

The truth is, I could sit here for hours on end, and rebuttal about every statement Jim made.  However, that would turn into a novel. 

 The "fit for sale" guide lines were revised, and surprise, surprise,  Dr.Holt was one of the individuals who assisted in creating a clearer image of these said guide lines.  Dr.Holt's memory must be slipping, or is it selective?

There have been numerous cases of "fake" coggins, half heaped health certificates, not to mention the number of horses that were not fit for sale being allowed to walk or hobble down the aisle way of New Holland Sales Stables.

Mondays will continue to come, and horses will continue to be unfit for sale, and Dr.Holt will continue to collect those dollars.  "Rescues" will continue to ensure there is a market for these unfit horses for sale.  In true typical fashion of the hustlers and scum, laughing the whole way to the bank.

Before I choose not to let sleeping dogs lie.  I am overly thrilled to know that LAPS is there on a weekly basis, collecting unfit horses, they must of started checking that voice mail box more then twice a day.  Bravo.

As Dr.Jim Holt so wisely stated "You pick your road and keep going."

He is right, after all Karma is two way road.

Beep. Beep.

A rule that can be bent will certainly be broken.

In true typical fashion of the hustlers, and haulers at New Holland it's hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil.  It's a accumulation of hustle, lies, and being egotistical enough to admit to no wrong doing, despite the obvious atrocities that happened, and the boundless evidence that is laid out.  Of course, and if you happen to accidentally push a colleague under the bus, it's ok, all is fair in the horse trading world.  After all, the dollars aren't steady, now are they?

So, who pushed Arlow under the bus?  Google Arlow Khiel, he has a rich and colorful history in the slaughter industry, and horse trading.  It's generally his Watertown, NY pit that the rejects from Rotz and Moore's loads get dumped at, sometimes to heal up and reshipped, sometimes just to be resold to some unsuspecting fool.  We all know there is no limit of those out there.



However, it seems as if good ole' Arlow is the victim of a unsuspecting push from a colleague.

Two different agencies, with the same exact enforcement abilities, one acts, and one has this to say.

Maybe we need to school you.

After all, this horse was a clear, cut and dry example of neglect.

There was a initial report filed on this horse.  But, of course after Phil Shirk giving that proverbial push under the bus, there was never a follow up.  Must of been checking on that Oxford Barn that got in the way.  

Actions speak louder than words.

It takes a man to make a Devil.

In a typical maniac Monday at New Holland, there are those small treasures of fate that happen.  Fortunately for Lightening's Diablo he was a recipient of that streak of fate.

Lightening Diablo was sold for $50,000 as a two year old in training at the March 2008 Barretts Sale.  The son of 2005 Kentucy Derby winner, Monarchos out of Housebuster stakes placed mare House Virgin broke his maiden at Hollywood Park first time out under Doug O'Neil and went on to earn a 2nd in the Lost in the Fog Stakes, and a 3rd in the Santa Rosa Conniver Juvenile Stakes, within 3 months.  Lightening Diablo continued to race under Doug O'Neil until Decemeber of 2008. 

At some point he made his way here to the East Coast, and last raced under Annette Aulbach.

I am sure that he was placed into what thought was a secondary career for whatever the reason, and that he would have a long fulfilling life.  Sometime in between then and now Lightening Diablo ended up at what is known as the largest Kill Auction east of the Mississippi, New Holland, PA.   

Lightening Diablo was consigned to New Holland by one of the well known kill buyers, good ole' Bruce Rotz, strange.  How did he end up with Bruce?  There is no secret that a lot of horse owners, and traders alike "cash in" horses that are not profitable, or just need of quick disposal and fast cash.  The question is who cashed in this Multiple Stakes Placed horse?

Lightening Diablo is now safe with a group of individuals that will keep him protected, and ensure that he does not end up back in the circuit.  We are thankful for the diligence that seems to lack among the owners, trainers, and breeders.

This horse could have of been a another statistic also had fate decided not intervene.

The horse above pictured is Green Wave Uly (Kentucky Bred 2010 model), his sire is Yes It's True out of mare Unkatzable (daughter of AP Indy) who was sold in foal (to Yes It's True) for 340,000 at the Keenlanad sale in November of 2009 as part of the Overbrook Farm dispersal.

Somewhere along his 9 starts, with only one win and two seconds, his last race being in Beluah Park coming in at fifteen and half lengths behind with the comment on the race card being "failed to menace", he left the hands of Gerado Carrillo-Dominguez, owner Richard Sheets, and breeders KatieRich Stables, to end up in a $2500.00 claimers race in March of 2013, a far cry from 8 months prior when he was put into a $16,000.00 claimers.   Green Wave Uly ended up in the clutches of Mark Bliss.  Who seems to be making a point of taunting Penn Gaming's Zero Tolerance Policy.  Testing the boundaries and limitations of what little protection exist for the thoroughbreds.

While according to the policy Mark Bliss has done absolutely nothing wrong, the horse did not get purchased with the intentions of slaughter at the sale, he even goes as far to write on the papers (if found in slaughter lot please call, if you don't want the horse please call, etc. etc.).

Mark even goes as far to not only consign the horse(s), he even chooses to stick around for the festivities of the sale.

If this isn't a quintessential middle finger to Penn Gaming, obviously I am Mother Theresa.  Green Wave Uly sold to well known trader and dealer Jesse Austin, and while Jesse is no kill buyer, he is a trader and dealer, which ultimately can leave many horses back into the pipe line, auction circuit putting them at great risk to end up in back of the truck on the way to Canada.  Luckily for Green Wave Uly, fate decided it was not his destination and was purchased privately in the parking lot by a unknown individual.

Once again while Mark taunts the Zero Tolerance Policy, it's painfully obvious, that there are too many loop holes to allow this type of behavior and conduct. 

So, why bother having one at all?

Apparently the devil isn't afraid to sit on the alter. Now is he?

Start Paddling Sunshine.

Sunday Sharing.

Sharing the wealth is a good thing, especially that in the Truck is Coming Saga.  I received a link to a interesting, and very colorful document.  This very single document tracks just about every horse that has ever ran through the East Coast's most notorious broker owned program.

I am amazed and yet perplexed at the hours it must of taken this data miner to assemble such a granger of information.  It would not shock me in the least to think that this individual is also tracking Rotz's umbrageous horse business.

It's a fairly complicated document, so I did kindly receive a explanation of how to read it.

How silly of me, a link to the document also.

Oh one last thing.

Beep. Beep.

I truly don't have much to say today.  After all despite what has been said, and published, sheeple still believe that the truck is coming.  Honestly, I don't know where it is coming from, or where it is going, I cannot even speculate if it's stopping.  The Peanut Gallery is beyond  a absolute doubt convinced that it is arriving.

What's the ETA on this so called truck?

What I can say is the Karma Bus has been creating a bit of a highway hell for the well known notorious broker program.  

It all started when Karma bit a certain low level dealer in the ass with text messages describing his disagreeable feelings on them (I would like to give kudos to him for his primitive, but descriptive text.  It was similar to deciphering ancient language).  I bet that hurt, and not feelings either.  That was the first stop.  After that initial stop, it is a affable of stops.  News articles, Moore's wife giving a opprobrious series of statements to Lancasteronline.  Which was surprisingly shared by the Paulick Report.  Kudos, we know how far that audience expands.   

Of course we cannot forget about the entries, exposing everything from the plants to simplicity of the green tag, and all the hoodwink in between.

In case you have not read them, or kept up, you can do so here The Ethics of Equine Rescue.  

I guess I do have a point to this entry after all.  

Just a simplistic picture will do.

Beep. Beep.

Wednesday Wavering.

Let's be honest, you seem to be having a tough time selling those horses. Oh.  I mean rescuing them.  I can get a retraction on the first line, please?

Tuesday we have this.

There is just a hovering stench of bullshit that tends to lurk in the air with this Broker Program.

Let's just be honest with ourselves here.  The half bail, is the bottom dollar price Moore needs.  Maybe with a few extra bucks left over for one's troubles. 

Did the truck come?  

Or will be seeing these horses ran back thru sale?  Or ending up at Gail's farm for sale?  How about Val's place?  I would say the Oxford location, but it seems as if they wised up.  Possibly even Haycock Stables?  Ho hum.

I can assure the truck that came, was not one that was hauling kill cattle on the way down, and hauling kill horses on the way back to Canada.

Don't worry Brian, if the Shit Shack can't flip'em for you, I am sure good ole' Gail can.  After all one can never feed enough horses to a woman, right?  Or was that a line of credit that you extended?  

Just the devil in the details.
