My horses arrived today & I am thrilled to have them in my presence again! Update on page 26.
See my post many, many pages from this on, 1/13.2007. SHIPPERS still have not picked up my horses!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Long
:eek: Life has simply gone from bad to worse. :eek:
I lived in a real dive for the past year & a half with abundant large rats & huge Florida cockroaches. As in my big dog one day literally killed 18 rats in a single session. No bathroom light for 8 months. The other lights/electricity as whole going out constantly from the breakers popping due to very bad electrical wiring issues. At times was left w/o electricity in half the apartment (living room/kitchen/dining room) for several days several different times, including one time for nearly four (4) whole months. I cannot tell you how many times I lost all the food & horse meds/vaccinations in the fridge/freezer from no electricity! Having hot water was a joke. Heck, having water at all sometimes was joke. They never even provided heat as required by state law either.
I finally filed with HUD & the State Human Rights Commission who went all over this like white on rice & are still going through the formal investigation process. I moved out December 1st, knowing I was in the total legal clear of myself having done nothing wrong by State & Federal statutes, as I was simply tired of being such a hell hole. I thought I was finally doing the right thing for myself by moving out when I legally did not have to move.
But I moved out financially sucked dry. My income is not much to begin with, & this year alone I had to replace over $1,000. in lost items from the fridge, & then there is all I lost last year also out of the fridge too. It really adds up. Plus my hay & other stuff stolen out of the barn aisleway. Besides coming back from foal watch to find my apartment wide open & cash/stuff missing. On my income it is simply very difficult to financially recover from. Plus my big dog was poisoned when a trainer threw Golden Malrin all over the barn aisleway (EXCEEDINGLY IMPROPER USE OF THIS FLY BAIT!!! :mad: ) That too cost me several hundred dollars earlier this year.
So as said, December 1st I moved onto another farm. OMG, the stuff that goes on here is just plain hideous & down right criminal!! :eek: :eek: But it is ALL my word against the Farm Mgr, whom is the only other person here; & the one doing the very, very bad things to these poor animals whose care they are entrusted to!
I have witnessed him beat horses on several occaisions. Why did I not call Animal Control when it was happening? Quite frankly, I was SCARED he was to then turn on & start beating me with the same vengence as he was beating the horses! He literally broke a poop fork on one, so immediately grabbed the leaf rake & went back into the stall & started beating the same horse all over again. Realising he had beat the wrong horse (like there is a right one to beat?), he then went into the next stall & starting beating the horse that had actually kicked down couple of of old stall boards between the two horses.
Mere minutes later he then did verbally go off on me (a daily occurance). Yes, I was petrified. He then proceeded to rant to me about how he had tried to dump off somewhere one of the 12 dogs legally left with this property, but the blank-blank dog had found its way back to the farm.
This is not the first time I have witnessed him abusing horses, it has been from weanlings to yearlings to broodmares & the training horses. He also at times tries to run down the inherited farm dogs with the truck. One day last week he babbled on & on the next morning when he thought he finally had killed one of the dogs when he had hit it with the truck & it had crawled off to hide for hours. He absolutely hates the inherited Arabian horses with an extroidinary passion! :eek:
I ALREADY have brusies where this farm mgr has multiple times grabbed me so hard he has left bruises; has literally yanked me off my feet in anger when supposedly pointing out where the telephone installer was to look for the phone box for my phone; & I do not even know how many times he has hit me with the truck when feeding. Yes, I am scared. Very, very scared for me & my animals!
And remember, I am the same person that was fired from a farm just last month for going to the owner about a co-worker kicking a horse in the head!
There is great more detail as to incidents on this farm, but I leery of posting them at this time. From legal type replies I have read when others have posted about bad type things happening, it seems they have often been warned about posting too much info
Why have I not already left??? In all seriousness, to go where with what money?! I am desperately asking for help! I have two horses, & two dogs. I will move anywhere in the country.
PLEASE, someone, anyone that can help get me out of here NOW, I will move wherever. My two dogs & two horses must come with me. Dogs are EXTREMELY well socialized. The horses are geldings.
THANK YOU in advance for reading all the way through this, & for any sincere offers of a place to move to immediately!!! Let’s make a deal, housing for work! :yes:
