The comments here remind me very much of AC4h's leader & founder & SDS's friend. Almost the same wording and style in fact. But I don't see AC4h's slamming her. Which leads me to think they are working together. Such a shame the horses always suffer.

Happy Holidays

All horses that he buys at NH with the intention of shipping shoes are pulled in his pen there at NH, and they are called straights. I have seen numerous horses that were shod, with no shoes pulled, but they were shipping within days. Do you really think people are stupid enough to believe that Rotz is going to spend money on a barn by NH to hold resale horses? This is the same guy that has dragged horses with his skid steer across his property before putting a bullet in them. So, making him out to have some type of compassion and heart is absurd.
Spending 900 on vet care and board on a that poor old mule...don't you mean 10 dollars a day at Shirk's place? The one he rarely visits, and depends on Amish guy to feed them? Vet...huh...guess you are referring to Dr.Holt who is a crooked as the day is long, why didn't you have him look at her the first day you pulled her from the pen? Why wait so long? How about that little appy gelding that was euthanized? Why wasn't that addressed when he was pulled?
I could go on and on...but, I won't bother, because you will threaten with your feeble slander lawsuits, did you learn that from Kelly? By the way, I hope Bruce enjoyed his annual Christmas cookies. And tell Shirk that he should stop hustling ponies threw you, he did much better without any of your programs.

well then, SHE is responsible for the $600.00 ($200.00/each) for having THEM sent back....or since you make up things as you go, Jan, then why don't you ask Kelly Young SMITH (OMEGA HORSE RESCUE) why SHE has not paid for the other 3 (600.00) because SHE said SHE asked the Kill buyer to send the other 3 back. The VERY kill buyer Lorraine had NOTHING to do with, nor had his phone number because she was asked by Kelly to help with HER connection, as this was NOT the kill buyer Lorraine was working with.. Any way you slice it...the only decent person here, is once again, Lorraine because SHE PAID for the THREE she SAVED and HAD SHIPPED BACK!!!! OH, and why don't you send that great group a donation towards the 900.00 SHE paid for the mule SHE pulled out of the KILL pen, VETTED, paid board, transported, and had euthanized so she did not have to go to slaughter with a terminal illness....The way I see it and the long list of people (that is growing) see it...she is one of the FEW good guys out there making a difference in the lives of the unfortunate horses...as for you...a hopeless dirt bag adding nothing but unsupported lies because you have done nothing with your pathetic life.

What a piece of crap you are!
Yeah I know you and if you think for one minute your going to down Ms. Smith for your sorry handy work you are really mistaken.
$600? Oh the money that was raised to bring horses back from the potential horrible death?
No money was pocketed so get your sh*t straight and go shove a piece of holiday pie in your fat ugly a**.
When someone does something good all you can do is bad mouth that person.
Do something productive with your life!!!!

Missing $600???
AUTHOR: Anonymous - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, December 29, 2012
Despite not being a registered charity, Lorraine fundraised for $1,200 on the SunDew page to pay for the return of the horses. Though Lorraine should have paid the kill buyer $1,200 for the return of the horses, she only paid the kill buyer $600. What happened to the other $600???
And Lorraine IS making money off the horses. The leopard appaloosa in question is one she made about $75 from. For someone who said they don't make money off the backs of animals, Lorraine sure is doing that now through SunDew Saves.

"If I were to buy my best friend Bob a shiny new car on ebay and then I called the dealer and he said he sold it Bob may be pissed but unless I'm his legal representative he has no leg to stand on and if me as the buyer is pissed then I would have to prove how I was damaged. I wouldn't be able to sue the dealer for fail to perform because we didn't have a written contract." - No but you have a "presumed" contract which can be just as legally binding as a written one. "While you could get sued for slander because you are making allegations against Ms. Smith directly who is a NJ resident and is directly afforded protection by a NJ corporation she is sole shareholder that is used to deal with slaughter horse rescue not her affiliations with a PA based group. I still haven't spoken to Ms. Smith about this but I'm gonna take a crack at the inside story as to your anger. "Ms. Smith posted or sent a list of horses that could be saved. You found a horse you liked as a flip horse or already presold." - your "opinion"? NO, and slander. The deal went south and you got angry and posted this. The only way that this can't be hearsay is if you are the transacting party. So do you buy under one name and sell under another?
If you take the reread your posts you will see how it jumps from you to the person who bought the horse for you but told her to file a report but it wasn't your idea but you encourage her about a horse bought in PA but 12 hours later it was in Texas (American airlines no doubt). The issue you find yourself in is you appear on paper to be angry and dishonest. My guess is Ms. Smith rep will go untarnished from this while you will go on to be unstable.". Have no idea what you are talking about when you mentioned American Airlines?, where do I appear to be unstable? Anger is 100% Lorraine's. I am just stating facts. You don't believe them? OK, that's your choice. Lorraine denies them? OK, that's her choice too.
Have to say though. Lorraine, you claim to have known me for 8-9 years? I would like to know how and when we met.., you claim I get horses for free and flip them, I owe you and a rescue money explain those to me and include any proof
I have not said I would file suit you and Lorraine have, but go ahead I welcome the opportunity to go public with all this.
All the character assassinations are done for now...
I am glad the horse has a home, just sorry for how everything went down. Have a Happy Holiday

Ken, I stand corrected, her ethics are not what they seem....
I think you are confused. If I bought a car on ebay and owner sold the car to someone else, I fail to see your logic. But suffice to say, If I bought and paid for a car that was NOT delivered then sold to someone else - there would be legal issues. How I was "injured" would not play into this -
"Now you off on how you NEVER PAID me when I was hired to haul a horse for you. And, you left an unpaid bill at the rescue. Yes, I am a decent person, and sadly I should have had you fill out my hauling contract so I would not have been ripped off by YOU! You did not even offer a penny for the fuel I burned driving all the way to Ct. let alone the time!!!" ?? Prove it. You called me to say the horse wouldn't load and that the horse was crazy, she never came. If I owed anyone money why didn't anyone call, bill, or write me? Prove all your other accusations
Are you trying to change the subject to make yourself feel better or to make me look bad? Either way you lose.
All this anger and nastiness can actually stop. Comments being made are totally off point and have nothing to do with what happened with the horse in question.
Lorraine, and now Ken, you are both making incredibly good cases for slander suit:-)

what is your point Pat ????
AUTHOR: Lorraine - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Ken, several comments to you.
Pat, you are all over the place and this is getting boring.
I have never done business with Lorraine Smith as a "rescue" or anything else, but have spoken to her about hauling horses and referred her to others. Over the phone she seemed like a decent/honest person. She was going to bring me a rescued horse from CT, (you mean you hired me to haul for you and you never paid me a penny???? AND you left a bill at the rescue in Ct???) but the horse wouldn't load, Lorraine had told me that the horse was crazy (I told you the horse would not load, and was rearing and I did not want KM to get hurt, or myself) and asked me if I knew anything about her, which I did not. She offered that she would not take her not knowing more. This information I really appreciated, this is my "dealing" with her.
None of what happened with this missing horse is heresay as I have been directly involved from the beginning. I offered to home(here is where you change your story for the third time...(YOU FILED A REPORT STATING I RIPPED YOU OFF---NOW YOU ARE SAYING YOU OFFERED A HOME IF SOMEONE ELSE PAID?????) the horse if someone would bail him. Someone stepped up and bailed him. During the process of getting a hauler I(OUR FACEBOOK PAGE CLEARLY STATES THE PROCEDURE FOR BAILING A HORSE AND NO, YOU DO NOT GET THE COGGINS) needed to get a health certificate and coggins before I could schedule anything - this is when the horse disappeared, (YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE FB PAGE AND REFRESH YOU MEMORY, THE HORSES WERE LOADED TO SLAUGHTER BY MISTAKE, THEY DID NOT DISAPPER-GET THE FACTS!!! ---AND FOR THE THIRD TIME, THERE WERE TWO APPS AND THE OTHER ONE GOT PULLED WHEN WE FOUND THEM, NOT YOU-AND THE FALSE STOLEN HORSE REPORT ALMOST GOT THIS HORSE KILLED. THE LEGAL OWNER AND SEVERAL OTHERS DIRECTLY INVOLVED - BEHIND THE SCENES BROUGHT HIM TO SAFETY.)and the ONLY horse to not be recovered. In fact the paypal receipt clearly says bought by ### for Pat Kitchen.
You refer to her as a rescue, but if you know her at all she denies being a rescue. (KEN KNOWS I HAVE A RESCUE IN NJ, REG. WITH NJ- THE FACEBOOK PAGE IS NOT THE SAME PAT....FOCUS!!!!)Saying the this is a "community effort"
If/when a person pays for something that suddenly disappears, (PER BARBARA'S FACEBOOK DEMANDS TO BE REFUNDED, THE MASSACHUSSETS POLICE CALLINIG ME WITH HER ACCUSATIONS OF ME BEING A SCAM,. SHE WAS PROMPTLY REFUNDED) no one knows for sure who took the horse(s) or where they were going.(WRONG AGAIN, WE ALL KNEW AND REPORTED WHO HAD THE HORSES AND WHERE THEY WERE GOING) The horse was missing and presumed stolen.(A HORSE CAN'T BE STOLEN WHEN IT WAS WITH THE LEGAL OWNER-BARBARA HAVE A BILL OF SALE????) Absolutely a police report should be filed. Did I talked the buyer into filing a police report? No, but I did recommend it. (BAD CHOICE...AND ILLEGAL-AND NO QUESTION HORSES WILL DIE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF THAT....NO ONE WILL WANT TO HELP US AGAIN. )
If this was not the situation then the police would have not done anything. (REALLY, WHERE IS THE ARREST REPORT????)
No one at any time accused Lorraine of stealing or questioned her ethics. (I GUESS YOU WERE ON THE PHONE CALL WITH THE MASSACHUSSETS POLICE...???) We were trying to find a missing horse. As soon as the police report was filed information was sent out of the computer and fortunately the horse was found in a feed lot in TExas. Had he not been found as soon as he was he would never have been found. If Lorraine (or someone in her group) fund the horse, why did the Sheriffs department in Texas email me a picture of the horse and ask me if I could identify him? I was able to match up his markings. (SORRY PAT...WE HAD CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK HE WAS ON..LONG BEFORE YOU WERE COUNTING SPOTS.)
As a person directly involved I have every right to file a complaint. A COMPLAINT???? FOR WHAT???? I DID NOTHING WRONG, AND EVERYTHING RIGHT. AND, AM VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THIS BEAUTIFUL HORSE IS IN A WONDERFUL HOME, RIGHT WHERE HE WAS MEANT TO BE.
Please explain to me any "slanderous" comments? THREE WORDS-RIP OFF REPORT But I can tell you there have been many said against me. NO SURPRISE THERE If she would like to sue me (DEFINATELY TALKING TO AN ATTORNEY)...bring it on! I have all the pictures, recorded conversations and huge papertrail
Also for the record...my sister-in-law is a partner in corporate law firm in Washington DC I would suggest that you speak to and read up on the entire situation before making an "uninformed" opinionJust 1 more comment. SunDews Saves is a PA organization. Not NJ and not a company YOU SEEM TO BE ENDLESSLY CONFUSED PAT KITCHEN - - I AM NO WHERE NEAR PA.
You very first statement is a bold face lie. Now you off on how you NEVER PAID me when I was hired to haul a horse for you. And, you left an unpaid bill at the rescue. Yes, I am a decent person, and sadly I should have had you fill out my hauling contract so I would not have been ripped off by YOU! You did not even offer a penny for the fuel I burned driving all the way to Ct. let alone the time!!!
As for the Leopard App. you have changed your story, again. Now you are saying you would like a free horse if someone would pay his bail. And, again, you lie. Our facebook page cleaerly states the procedure for bail, coggins, health certificate. give the have no clue what was happening behind the scenes because the LEGAL owner, another dealer, and 3 others in 3 different states were working BEHIND the scenes. And, for the thrid time, Barbara's FALSE stolen horse report almost got this horse KILLED.

Not Sure How You Fit In

1. Why would you post a Ripoff complaint for a service that you neither requested of her or paid for. Shouldn't the actual customer or client file this if she felt ripped off? 2. If the money was returned how did someone get ripped off? 3. If you have recommended her on several occasion why is it now you take issue with her credentials as a buyer. ( I've only know her to work with a buyer for rescue not claim to be one.) 4. As a rescue isn't it her right to place horses with those she deems the best suited? 5. Wouldn't you get angry if someone implied you were a thief or dishonest by filing a police report against you ? Wouldn't you get things back to square one and terminate further relations? It appears you are angry about a horse you were not buying and the talked the buyer into filing a police report that she did not want to because she still wanted the horse but when Ms Smith was rightly offended by what I'm sure she would consider a questioning of her ethics you filed a Ripoff complaint about her and her company for something you had nothing to do with. It seems like you are attempting to settle a score for what you perceive as someone being wronged but where is the Ripoff? Just a side note that I'm sure you will take with a grain of salt but the courts would call this slanderous as you would not be a plaintiff or defendant in anything you have alleged. You are making allegations based on hearsay about a New Jersey based company over the internet which would give the company the right to sue you for slander in New Jersey. I checked with my corporate attorney/ cousin. I have no idea what Ms. Smith would do as I haven't spoke to her in a while.

Very professional women who are trying to make a difference for the horse and not for there own pockets.
You have alot of nerve stating about taking money's then returning it. Be glad you received it back, now maybe you can build a real run in shed instead of the damn shack with plywood walls that are held up by 2x4's shoved in the dirt and your tarp roof!
Get things correct prior to throwing stones. That group is trying to make a difference for the horse. What are you doing besides making waves?
Are the horses your objective here or is this for your own personal satisfaction?
