The tragic part of this is that the palomino (who was on the videos) died. He went down and struggled. The vet was out there multiple times, trying to help him, and our volunteers spent most of the day and part of the night trying to help him up. But in the end, he was too weak and the vet recommended euthanasia. His opinion is that the little guy had no muscle left in his entire body. That is just heartbreaking - especially considering that that little horse was in her front yard. She had to walk by him anytime she went in or out of her house.[/QUOTE]

We had a necropsy done in one case, and the bone marrow fat content on the horses that died were 2.7% and 5.1% – normal is between 60-90%. :eek:

There’s really no way to dispute the length of time it takes to get into a condition like that.

His JC name is VF Private Flyer. I tracked him by tattoo # and found old trainers and owners. He raced at Finger Lakes until 2009. His last loving owner had NO idea he ended up in her hands. I have been tirelessly plastering social media with warnings about her!!!

[QUOTE=Louise;7185745]
sheza, could you PM me with the information on this horse, including his registered name, if possible. I have a few connections, both in rescue and at the track, and I’d like to get as much information to them as possible. In particular, if I knew the registered name of the TB, I could get word directly to the trainer.[/QUOTE]

Thanks! I joined solely to post on this thread. This woman is horrendous…and still doesn’t wear a bra. :lol: My husband snapped a pic. I wish I knew how to post pics here…he took a few of the property too.

There she is with her husband and stepson I think. That is my OTTB gelding I bought from her on August 30. He was kept in this mudpit with no run in and was eating rotten apples.

There were 8 horses on the property and I saw no hat or feed storage. None of them were dangerously thin but I don’t think she had any of them for very long…she flips them quickly it seems. I did just see a pic of another TB gelding she had when I got mine. He was purchased this week by someone and he had lost A LOT of weight in the 3 weeks since I had seen him.

[shezarealgem]

Oh, and she had NO tack to ride him in when I came to try him. I have never gone to see a horse and had the owner come out in sandals and not have a saddle to put on their horse. We had to use a “boarders” saddle on him and luckily I had my bridle in my trunk…

This is an old grey TB she had when I picked up my horse from her. That was about a month ago and at the time he was in decent weight. She tried to get us to buy him as well. Said he was 30 years old, an old schoolmaster, and had a melanoma under his tail that was being treated. The above pic is from this week. Someone took him and he is SAFE now…the newer owner snapped this pic of his current condition. He deteriorated quickly in her care.

OH DEAR GOD! My eyes! :disgust: I really wish I hadn’t seen that.

[shezarealgem]

I’ve alerted the court in her town as well as the humane society. I’m trying!

[shezarealgem]

It is worse in person!!! :eek:

Amanda is now either having someone else post for her or using the alias of Monica Viggiani. Phone number is new as well but the horses are the same ones she’s got up on her website. They’re also being put up on craigslist with the new number.

Yuck! :dead: I can’t un-see that!

[RubyTuesday]

Yeesh…check out their “tack store”!

[fire_911medic]

She would probably come to KY - it’s a horse abuser haven here. The state won’t do a darn thing unless they is a dead horse on the property. Then alot get all or some given back. They JUST brought charges against two brothers that people have been complaining of for 20 years ! Unbelieveable !

[anon123456]

OMG! I knew I had remembered her name from somewhere. She just contacted me about buying a mare that I have who is about to foal. Luckily I told her that this close to foaling, she is no longer for sale but her name just stuck out and then I remembered this thread.

YIKES!

[RubyTuesday]

Wow!

[anon123456]

Just a quick heads up for anyone in the Western/Central NY area…Amanda is looking for broodmares especially infoal mares. Says she is starting a new breeding program. She was quite insistent that she was going to come over and see my mare and leave a deposit even when I told her that I have decided NOT to sell the mare.
She has 2 different phone #'s she is using as well. One with a 716 area code and the other a 585 area code. She called me using both numbers.
