Horses seized in Texas. NNER aka SLER and now Horse Nation Rescue?

[Belle_Beach]

Many of you remember ColoredCowHorse and the brouhaha when her registered Paint herd was seized in 2012. Those horses were given over to a rescue operating at time as Northeastern Nevada Equine Rescue or NNER run by Deanna Tierney. The horses pretty well all disappeared soon after NNER got their hands on them. When questioned as to where they were and when could adopt, she would not answer or give vague answers such as at foster home. Of 31 horses she ended up with? We could only find mentions of 3 or so. And one of those ‘died’ under mysterious circumstances.

June 27th in Pittsburg, TX, over 150 horses were seized from Deanna Tierney, now operating as SLER for Scarlet’s Legacy Equine Rescue. There was a ditch or pit filled with the dead bodies of horses along with emaciated lving horses. While there were a ‘few’ horses that weren’t in too bad a shape, evidence showed clearly it seems that these horses, most of whom were ‘rescued from kill pen’ were actually in far worse shape than when she saved them from the KB.

Someone was on the SLER page telling all and sundry that they were redoing things, and that they had horses in multiple locations including in WA state. And that they were not telling where they were but that they were being fed.

Nice. Why weren’t the over 150 being fed? Now SLER has been turned into Horse Nation Rescue?

Deanna Tierney has run afoul of other rescues during the time she got her hands on the Paints, not to mention the Dann Sisters horses, over 200 of them. Where they are, who knows.

She along with several other rescues were hauling ‘poor nursemare foals’ across the country from Ohio to California…she gave a sob story about how 70,000 foals are born to die because of Thoroughbred horse breeders and racing to a newspaper, when she was needing help because she broke her leg. And that she made 2 trips a month from January to July every month, hauling foals.

Thoroughbred members will know that The Jockey Club registers around 23K a year, and that number has held fairly steady for quite a while. And Thoroughbred members also know that most Thoroughbred foals are raised on and by their own dam. But that has been a huge success for ‘rescues’ to separate money from wallets from people who don’t know any better. But I digress.

At one point, Deanna was hauling for Rocking R Rescue and had foals on trailer that had been paid for and she was trying to sell the foals along the way, that took getting sheriff out to her place in Wells, where she had holed up with them.

The horses seized in TX apparently are horses pulled from kill pens with monies paid by people who truly thought they were going to help the horses.

Why can’t we brand these people with a large “A” on their foreheads since law enforcement/ the courts do not seem to do anything about them. “A” as in Animal Abuse, and other words which I won’t type here. They just change their names and continue. Is it the money they get from the people that think they are doing something good or are they just that sick???
