I hope the horse community forever shuns her.

She deserves a greater punishment than was given.

Not suspended.
Revoked.

That was the attorney for the vet board’s recommendation. The board rejected the recommendation and unanimously voted in revoking her license.

Permanently, or for 2 years?

Revoked means permanently stopped/taken back.

It is not suspended; she no longer has a licence as it has been permanently cancelled.

For anyone who has the ability to check, could you see if Ashlee Watts has been in any dressage shows lately? USDF?

USDF scores shows that her last recorded scores were nationals in 2023. Nothing since then.

@Mersidoats Thanks very much for checking.

I dońt know how the person interviewed and person committing the acts shés charged with can be the same person :frowning: :worried:

Dazzle’s owner has posted a short video. I feel so very sad for all who were involved with Ashlee Watts.
