Amber Hill Ponies

Hi.

I was wondering what people thought of Amber Hill Ponies and their training? I understand what happened in the past, do they still do that? Would they be a good enviroment?

Thanks

Did I just hear a popping sound? Was that a wine cork or popcorn?

I believe it was both. And perhaps a martini shaker.

In the event that the OP is young and/or naive, I will say it plain: run fast away from AHF. Nothing good can come of that.

And the award for “Sensational First COTH Thread ever” goes to:

Well, I didn’t know anything about this … so googled. There seem to be quite a few by this name – 2 in GA, one in NJ, possibly one in PA since the PA Police were involved in investigations, more than one FB page. Two results were court cases with defendants of the same name … one was posted by PA Police, one was for the NJ address. . . . . . . .

(In some cases more useful to google than ask a question here. It can seem like a club more interested in celebrating its status than sharing what it knows. :no:)

I was going to give the award for best tag line ever to Starhorse, but then Sing Mia Song followed up with a great one too. Too close to call?

If I had a tag line, I think I’d like mine to be…

Wellllllllllllll… Guess I’m not getting any work done for the next 48 hours?

Jumpithigher, It is probably best to let google help you with this question. If you have a specific question I am sure people here will be more than willing to help you.

For posterity.

“Would they be a good environment” means…what? Just in case OP is asking an innocent question.

Have to go to the market in a bit, will pick up some avocados fir guacamole.

Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics are Friday night. This thread should tide me over until then. Thanks, OP!

Farm’s down south someplace, the PA Pony was only there for the show and the NJ address might have been a litigant or the person who filed a protest…it’s been awhile and it was complicated.

She was in NJ prior to going south. Perhaps in hopes no one had heard of her down there.

I’ll just leave this here.

Hey, a wine thread I know nothing of. :lol:
Could someone fill me in?
NM, I see Sticky Situation left us the info :slight_smile:

We’ve heard of her. On top of that, I’m not particularly thrilled with any of the prospects she has.

The farm used to be located in NJ. Then also had a GA location, no idea what the current situation is

Just to put it out there in plain black and white English, for those of you who don’t Google or click links…

Amber Hill was made infamous when the trainer injected a pony with something at Devon, within the 12 hour window, in full view of a pony mom, and the pony then collapsed and died in the cross ties. There was a huge front page NYT article and lots of law suits.

Actually, I believe the rule about the 12 hour window for injections came about following that incident.

Posting for my green arrow!!! :smiley:

Also, does anyone else find it a bit odd that she basically uses a head shot of herself for her Amber Hill Ponies Facebook Profile Pic? Maybe I am just being judgy but everytime I see it pop up in my feed I’m like, why??? :eek:
