I ENJOY OUR HORSES VERY MUCH.  ONE IS A RETIRED STANDARDBRED IN HIS EARLY 
20'S.  THESE HORSES HAVE TAKEN MY HUSBAND AND I OVER MANY MILES AND VARIOUS 
TERRAINS.  MY STANDARDBRED WILL DIE ON OUR FARM, AND IF IN THE LAST DAYS HE 
IS SUFFERING, A BULLET WILL PROBABLY BE USED.  I BOUGHT HIM AT AN AUCTION, 
I WAS BIDDING AGAINST A MEAT BUYER.  SO WHATEVER THE END BRINGS, HIS LIFE 
HAS BEEN EXTENDED.  BUT A GOOD RELIBLE HORSE ALSO DESERVES DIGNITY AND 
QUALITY OF LIFE.  I COULDN'T BEAR TO SEE HIM SUFFER.

I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION TO POSE TO YOU ALL.  WHO IS SUPPOSED TO RESCUE THE 
HORSES FROM THE RESCUERS. THERE IS A WOMAN NEAR ME WHO "RESCUES" 
HORSES.  THEY ARE LEFT OUTSIDE 24/7, WITH NO SHELTER, NOT EVEN A ROOF TO 
GET OUT OF THE SNOW AND RAIN.  IN THE SPRING TIME HER PLACE IS JUST A MUD 
HOLE.  WE HAVE 5 HORSES IN PASTURE WITH ACCESS TO A LARGE AREA IN THE BACK 
OF THE BARN, MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE OUT, BUT THEY HAVE A CHOICE.  IF IT 
IS RAINING, OR REAL WINDY THEY DO GO INSIDE.

ANYADVICE ON WHO I COULD ALERT TO THE PLIGHT OF THESE HORSES?
