No–I think it is inappropriate to repost without any type of explaination other than rolly eyes-(??) -a PM that contains several misstatements that individually and as a whole might not be obvious to all reading it and requires the subject of the PM to post an explaination. That is not fair to that person.
If you repost mistatements made about somebody else, unqualified and unexplained, you are rolling them forward.

So back to the thread about Jill Burnell and her nefarious business practices
[QUOTE=magicteetango;6568481]
Kyzteke, perhaps a more TB mare base? Also more Hunter types instead of Dressage or Jumper type mares?[/QUOTE]
Don’t think more “hunter” based as most TB mares of today NOT hunter based per se BUT definitely the TB influence. Forget “hunter” issue…personally think a Rotspon for any discipline needs lightening up. My personal feeling…stress personal…is of short legs, big body and heavy. As for his sons? Well, the one I saw fits that to a tee! Disregarding what DISCIPLINE breeding for? A Great TB mare in my book the best choice! (nod to you LR! Steal your mare in a heartbeat lol).
Not to deter this thread again now that it has moved on, but I did mean out of context in the conversation, not out of context in the one message.
I guess to the extent it shows that Jill was downplaying EVA in 2010 (or maybe 2009 if it was back when Donna’s now 2 1/2 year old filly was conceived??) it can be construed as nefarious.
Carry on…
Sheila A - it was March 2010 and I was debating breeding one or both of my mares to Redwine. Both would have had foals at side and that was my dilema - was it safe to do so and what precautions did I need to take to ensure the safety of the foals? And one of the foals wouldnt have belonged to me, so that was another wrinkle thrown into the equation
I do believe that I also asked Kathy her opinion which contradicted what Jill had told me, so I PM’d Jill again asking for clarification and this message was her response
So yes - very much downplaying any implication or danger to a foal at the mare’s side
:eek:
Equinedriver, any updates you can share?
Has GFF updated their address on the website ? It looks the same to me, and I thought she was at a new place.
Oh I have a feeling she may not make it public and only give it to visitors. Too much paparrazi around. 
isn’t this post dead yet?

Your post is definitely dead. This thread, not so much. Why is it your only contributions to this thread have been about ending it?
It might have been if you hadn’t bumped it up by posting :rolleyes:
Why? The whole point of keeping this thread open is so that unsuspecting breeders and owners happen upon it and click on the first page. I’m sorry, but it’s now almost turned into a public service announcement of sorts. If the thread dies and falls back on to page 32, new breeders or anyone looking to do business with Jill Burnell and Gray Fox Farms have no warning.
While I will agree that the thread is at the point that there is no need to read every single page all the way to the end :rolleyes:, I think most would agree that, at least the first 30 pages are more than enough reading for a new breeder or unsuspecting client to make up their own minds…or at least have a warning before jumping into the fire.
So the trivial banter at the end here has nothing to do with “the thread should be put to rest now”, it’s just our way of keeping the thread open and at the TOP of the Sport Horse Breeding board on the COTH. If you don’t like it, you certainly shouldn’t keep posting on this thread, as every time you do, you just wake the rest of us up to keep it going. :lol:

Thank you for bumping it up again.

just poking the bear–
Thanks for the bump then. Feel free to join in to the actual discussion.
There is still a link to this thread on Jill’s Facebook page… posted three weeks ago.
She may not have internet access at the moment. They tend to like to get paid.
Apparently there are no utilities at the new farm.

Thankfully,this thread is not dead yet (if that is what you meant to say).
Daventry is right on the spot, when she mentions that this thread has become a “public service announcement of sorts”.
I think that this thread has most likely done a world of good (and has inspired similar threads of “warning” which are useful to potential clients/victims ,see “Don Slaughter Equisport International” on the H/J forum).
At the very least, potential clients are warned that there have been problems, and can make an informed decision whether or not to do business with these people.
