Crossed Sabers / Mountain State Horse School & Second Wind Adoption Program thanks to Kaitlyn, Twyla and their hay supplier we have about 60 more bales in the barn and another 10 to 20 coming, that is at least 6 days of hay for us. Between all of us looking we may just find a way to stay afloat. I hope so.
If you are living day by day feeding hay…isn’t it time to give up your dream???:mad::mad::mad:
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Are you new to this saga?
Do a search you should find a couple of longish threads on the subject matter!

LOL I went by her website for kicks and she’s listed as an expert witness ha ha aaaaaahhh…
Oh no…I am an “expert witness” when it come to this fruit bat. But it’s “Dangerous” to let her know who you are or she will be begin to harass you! I’ve followed every thread on her, but this is her newest saga…
Her personal horses are even listed for sale to try to help the program. About time she puts something back into what she has leached off of for so long!
I’m disappointed in the recent direction my favorite soap opera has taken. I’m seriously considering friending this fruitbat on Facebook so I can stay abreast of all the drama (rolley eyes)

I know, I mean, look, we all enjoy a good “OMG Sheila has locked Lauren in a cage” storyline but JEEZ Y&R, two people in a cage AND two people with swapped identities AT THE SAME TIME? Grrrr. Give me some SWAP drama, at least it’s horse related.
(on a side note, thank goodness for watching online at the end of the day, then I can skip ahead lol.)
Her FB page is public, so you don’t need to be a fan or “like” her page to view it. She’s whining and "Poor Me"ing in almost every status update on that page.
(sits back with popcorn and a cold beer…)
waiting for the next episode of Days of Our Crossed Sabers to begin:no:

Don’t you think though that “new” people should know and be updated. Granted, it’s the same old story each year…I don’t have any money, I’m going to set the horses free, I’m going to put them down. But it just makes me and many others appreciate a REAL, LEGIT rescue. You don’t want people getting buffaloed into helping her. Granted the horses will suffer, but why not one batch of horses suffering and it be over, as opposed to loads of horses suffering continuously? 
Looking for a Miracle?
Of course, even though I don’t participate, I still get the fruitbats emails. This is from last night/ this morning? Looking for a Miracle it says:
Dear Friends,
Tough times continue at SWAP. Adoptions are really lean and the adoption fees are so low that we are struggling to get everything paid and running. We’ve given away several horses just to get them into a great home, which is good for the horse but does not help the program feed and care for all our horses.
We sent the 5 rescues we just took in to ERL, a rescue with a 20 year history located in Virginia. We had them well on their way to being fat, round and even their feet done but our instability made us all realize we had to back off on our numbers of horses.
We were able to pay for the farrier to come in, that is a $600. visit each time but we’ve yet to be able to get spring shots for all the horses and update coggins that are due. Its something we have done every year like clockwork but this year we have no had the funds.
Unfortunately we are faced with having to put down some horses that we’ve had in our program for years. Horses that we had tracked in and out of homes for many years. Sadly because they are no longer sound, no one wants them. All of them are free to a good home and we’re hoping they can find a home before we are forced to end their life. Dixie, Orphy, Jelly Bean and Darlin are sadly on hit list. We urgently beg for their homes.
If you can, please help. Go to www.crossedsabers.com, adopt or donate. See all the ways you can help below. The horses need you now.
Sincerely,
Celeita Kramer, Owner/Executor/Director
Crossed Sabers Stable
shakes head in disgust
a “HIT LIST!!!” sigh
She’s still in business? The mind boggles.
Why don’t more people realize that a rescue is a business and needs to be run like one? Its so hard to have to turn animals away, but if you can’t afford to give them the care they need… I’ll stop now, sorry. Rant over.
Why is her title “executor?”
Does she mean “executive,” or was there some kind of bequeathal to this organization? Or does she perform the euthanasia?
And $15,000 for that spotted draft is re-donkulous, FTR. She’s not really “helping the program” by charging that kind of price…she’s NEVER going to get it.
I can’t believe she can ask that much for the horses, a friend has a rescue also, and says that she cannot ask for anything for any animal-I’m shocked that these rescues can. And the ‘President’ being able to afford those horses, wonders where the money went 
Asking for donations to pay off the farm?? Heck yea! send me some while you’re at it!!
I’d also love a new barn, etc…perhaps I’m in the wrong business!
:rolleyes:
It never ends…
But remember, adoption fees are set at “20% or lower” of the horse’s actual sales value, so that spotted draft is really worth… what, $75k? What a steal!
