New England Equine Rescues

These are some of the things being said about us:

~That we 'like' to euthanize.

~That we have falsified coggins/health certificate papers.

~That we (Beth) misappropriate funds, we can't account for where the money has gone. 

~That we breed rescues.

~That we don't vet horses.  (funny)

~That we don't check out fosters, or their places.

~That we don't actually adopt out horses. (see Updates/Adopted)

~That we move Noir 'too much'.

~That we are 'willing to hurt children'.

~That NEER 'uses' people.

~That it's our (Beth's) way, or the highway.  (This IS true!  If you can't follow simple safety procedures, you can not foster/adopt a NEER horse.)

~That we 'dumped' a fundraising group... except that they had been soliciting funds with NEER's name and nonprofit status, but not giving the money to NEER, and later wanted a 'commission' on money raised.  We applaud their efforts and hope that they continue to fundraise for horses, but we could not continue to let people believe that the money was being raised for NEER when we really had no idea where it was all going.  We try to be responsible about all money collected and where it goes....     And... a commission?

~That we have unfairly taken horses away from fosters.  Technically, we have repossessed THREE horses, two from a foster that was not taking care of them, and one from a foster and his girlfriend who refused to follow simple contractual rules (endangering horses, a child, and putting NEER in a very bad position), regardless of repeated attempts (6+ months) to resolve the issues.  The other, complaining about how we 'yanked' a horse from her was not a 'foster'... she was charging us board, telling us that she couldn't afford to foster, and had him going so poorly under saddle that she claimed that the problem was a sore back and lameness issues (neither of which he had prior, and both of which were mysteriously gone 2 days later.)   ...Yet, when we moved him to a reputable trainer who was happy to donate board and professional training ....  we were awful....we had 'used' her and treated her so badly... ):

We sincerely hope that before you join their 'group' that you will take the time to do a little research... see what we are doing and have done, talk to those who know us, and not just jump on the bandwagon with a bunch of sour grapes.  We hear a lot of the junk that some people say, and feel the need to vindicate ourselves.  Some people have a snit over little things and feel it neccessary to run around trash talking us, please spend the time finding out WHY they trash talk us.  If you have ANY questions, please ask!!  We have vet records, vet bills, photos, emails, and witnesses, people who will back us up... all of which will counter much of what is said about us.  We are also happy to refer you to vets, farriers, dentists, hay guys, grain stores, fosters, adopters, and people who have known us since the beginning.  We are far from perfect, have learned a lot along the way, and will continue to learn.  This isn't a popularity contest, we are doing what we believe to be is in the best interest of the horses....we don't deserve much of the crap that is spread about us.

And, it doesn't really hurt NEER, it hurts the horses that need our help.
