Lacie Yeager (LJ Training and Showing) neglects horses in the Findlay Ohio area

Lacie Yeager (LJ Training and Showing) claims to be a full care boarding and training facility, but that is far from the truth. Being an avid horse person, I was excited to find a barn that seemed incredibly well kept and that the horses also appeared to be well kept. During my time with LJ Training and Showing, I witnessed horses going without proper bedding for days, being kept outside in ALL weather conditions (rain, sleet, snow, freezing cold, even though her website states that horses only go out weather permitting), horses eating the bark off of the trees outside of their pasture, horses being fed well below their minimum daily requirements, and much more.

Having been around horses for a long time, horses do not just eat bark off of trees for fun, they do it because they are desperately hungry. I have seen horses in her care lose an excess amount of weight to where you can count their ribs. Often times, horses are turned out in extreme cold without blankets on and when they are brought in, they are shivering in order to keep warm. Even with full care board (includes grain, hay, watering, and stall cleaning) being $330 a month, she has claimed several times that she does not have enough money for food or bedding for the horses, even the full care horses.

She claims to be a trainer that deals with green and trouble horses. I have never seen her actually ride a training horse and the horses she does have for training, if you enter their stalls, they are afraid of you and will run to the back of the stall. She also does not even take care of her own horses. She has horses that have not had their feet done in six to seven months, some even still have poorly fitting shoes on from that time.

If you want to waste your money with her, go right ahead, but you were warned.
