Opinions on DHH crosses for jumping?

Which one of those foals is the emaciated one again

None of the three are this particular starved baby. Did I miss your point in asking?

Kate is claiming on FB that she offered a full refund on the foal. If that’s true, and I was the buyer, I’d take that money and not look back. Poor baby.

I should hope so, but I’ll believe it when we hear it from the buyer.

The buyer might want to keep the foal, out of kindness to the animal rather than return it to an abusive, neglectful situation.

I think I’d have a hard time returning the poor thing.

[libgrrl]

My thought is that they all look poor, frankly.

[Railbird]

NSFL and didn’t happen over the last 3 weeks…

[Jenerationx]

Wow… who could do that to a baby? Deplorable.

[ThreeWishes]

That is freaking horrifying.

[CuriosoJorge]

No wonder the poor thing slipped.

[Djones]

This is all so sad. Those poor innocent animals.

[skydy]

In a filthy stall. This is horrifying.

I am not on facebook or any other social media, but I hope that COTH members who are, will send these images far and wide along with the full name of this woman.

I can’t remember her name. What is it?

[Djones]

KATHRYN SHEARER is her name. She breeds some version of DHH.

KATHRYN SHEARER, braider and dog breeder.

[skydy]

Is Kathryn Shearer also known as Kate Shearer or am I misremembering?

[jvanrens]

You’re remembering correctly.

[mrsgrieves]

This is awful, awful, awful. That stall And poop on the fetus…

[skydy]

Thank you.

So, it’s Kathryn Shearer also known as Kate Shearer.

[Djones]

Ah right Kate Shearer is also Kathryn Shearer

She also claimed she sold the egg donor mare. She didn’t.

[Mersidoats]

This makes me so angry.

[CanteringCarrot]

Wandered over here from dressage-land just to say what the actual f—?

I’ve noticed mares in some photos not looking all that great, but this takes the cake.

Plus the poor mare with her aborted foal in a disgusting stall of sorts.

Honestly, you’d have to be pretty damn naive to support (buy from) someone like this.

[K_VanOlst]

This is from a video Kate posted showing the foal in question “in good condition” before she left. Nothing about this foal looks healthy. This is not just foal fuglies. This is horrifying.

Edited to add, she turns the foal out like that. With a lead rope tied around it’s neck imagine paying $25k for a foal and the breeder turns it out like that. I cannot even with this whole situation.

I don’t get why it’s so f-ing hard to feed your horses

Kate who prides herself on sneering at others and being so very superior to all… has NO excuse for this. None. Zero. That is not 12 days of poor feeding - it is a lot longer… unfreakingbelievable and despicable.

And of course you blame it on an alleged “new hire”. Because of course you are not properly managing your herd and your high dollar foals that you grift off on people. Because it will always be somebody else’s fault.

That is not the way this works. That is not how any of this works… and I have managed breeding farms for 30 years.

I just brought the herd here into their stalls from the rainy pasture… and they are happily munching on their dinner after a good roll in the shavings to dry off and get the itches out. Even wet, well-breaded and scruffy, the weanlings and the one yearling look nothing like this poor filly. Nor does the 31 year old long-retired brood mare. They actually have a topline and a butt. They have not been STARVED. I explained to them how lucky they are that they are not $$,$$$ fancy-DHH-potential-grand-prix-jumper-weaners - where the $$,$$$ is obviously not going into their care - based on the evidence at hand and the predictable protestations.
