Yes, Terry F. And Renee were the people who got gullible people to donate $42,000 to buy 65 horses from Mitch Stanley, at least half of which were never in Copiah County, Mississippi.
SSHS is Stop Selling Horses to Slaughter. It is a supposed non-profit in Florida run by Renee Paxton who does not even own or rent a farm.
For this “big save” ARM and SSHS teamed up, and Renee supposedly made the deal with Stanley for ARM to buy the horses. Supposedly yet two other women named Jan Santini and Amy White were helping screen the potential “adoptors.”
Those wanting to “adopt” had to pay a $25 non-refundable application fee for each horse they wanted. If approved, they paid more. Some people said they paid $50 per horse and a few others said it was $100.
ARM claimed the horses were all from the Copiah situation until people started calling her on it. Later she claimed at least half were from Copiah. Some of the horses that arrived in Glen had rump tags that proved they had been rejected for slaughter.
Anyway anyone looks at this, Stanley got paid $42,000 for horses that were worth a fraction of that and some that were slaughter rejects.
Also, some of the horses in that original herd wee recovering from or suffering active cases of Strangles. Some of the horses that arrived in Glen, MS were from the original Copiah group including a splash back Appy, who later died after being “adopted.”
None of the hroses ARM received were quarantined and ARM began allowing people to pick them up and haul them off a week after they had arrived.
