There have been so many reports from the past several years of the fraud and deceptive trade practices engaged in by this particular person, and from so many different sources, it is almost mind-boggling.
To recap, here is the list of the issues that have been reported:
1 – ongoing pattern of defrauding buyers, breeders, vets, farriers, feed and hay vendors, trainers, registries, shippers, stallion testing venues, etc., by writing bad checks, ignoring requests for payment or refund, not shipping quality products to customers, etc.
2 – endangering mares and foals by shipping semen prepped in a filthy lab, as well as disregarding standard EVA protocol, willfully downplaying the seriousness of EVA, and passing on misinformation regarding EVA.
3 – hoarding and overcrowding of horses, and not providing adequate space or shelter to pregnant mares and their foals.
4 – shipping wormy, ill or otherwise unthrifty mares and/or foals to buyers.
5 – repeatedly ignoring requests for breeding certificates for foals sired by her stallions.
6 – not supporting mare owners/buyers who want to register foals with organizations that require parentage verification via DNA comparison for EVERY foal.
7 – elder neglect/abuse by having her elderly parents live in an overy cluttered, trash-filled house strewn with rubbish, contaminated medical waste and biological substances, animal feces, and dead animals.
8 – failure to promptly and properly dispose of dead animal carcasses.
9 – marketing foals as being from certain mares, when in fact the mares are owned by others, the mares have never been in her possession or been bred to her stallions. IOW, no such foals exist with the parentage she claims.
10 – using photos belonging to others without permission, for the purpose of promoting her own business.
11 - bad-mouthing competing stallions or stallion owners, either directly or through the use of alters on various Internet forums.
Feel free to add to the list if I missed anything…[/QUOTE]
Oh ya, I forgot she did #11 to me as well when she found out we were using Apiro, I recieved a PM from some screen name I can’t remember, but was from no one I recognized, saying that he had a crooked front leg. I ignored the PM, but I am pretty sure it had to be her,or her friend, because who ever sent it said to check out Redwine.
