| I got a mare from them and was told that she was healthy besides her blindness there was nothing wrong with her she may be in foal which I was ok with . I told the owner that I just wanted to make sure I wasn't running in any further problems do to me having already a blind horse and a few yearlings . So I really could not deal with something mature that could endanger the health of my other horses . She also told me in a email that this mare may come down with shipping fever which still was ok with me . 5 Days after arrival the mare came down with a fever and had breathing problems also a very snotty nose it was definitely not shipping fever. Vet came out and said it was pneumonia I got her on meds the bill was highs so a friend of mine asked for help for me which i got to cover that bill . Now all my mares came down with the same symtoms as she did I called the vet again the horses do not reside on the same property there are about 10 miles apart . Vet came and took a nasal swab out of my mare the test results were bad they all have strangles now . So I went and asked for help because I know I can't do this on my own and I 'm way over my head with it instead to get help I got bashed and told that my first donation should have be enough help to cover it with really no strangles on four horses are u kidding . They all got it because of me so I was told she was healthy and they are not to blame at all . They send people to my side to bash me to call me every name I have all the emails and comments from EOTL and Renee to back up what was said between us. They wanted to get rid of her she was urgent so I was told but then come to find out she was there already for weeks. She was healthy so I was told again but yet I found out that they treated her for 10 day with penicillin and said it was a precaution . I did mention that she is possible in foal right . |

| Seriously? If you don't know how to properly quarantine a horse, perhaps you should have enlisted the help of a stable that is familiar with quarantine procedures for auction horses. Strangles is unfortunately very common in auction horses, at least at New Holland where the EOTL horses often come from. You should have been changing shoes & clothing and washing thoroughly in between barns to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Just because the barns are 10 miles apart doesn't mean the germs don't survive the journey. Blaming EOTL for your carelessness is just plain wrong. |
