In Response to Ms.Smiths claims and accusations of a malnurished and sickly foal, I respond quite respectfully that the foal was weaned early due to the mother being an endangerment to the foal. The mare repeatedly kicked and or slammed the small filly into the wall when she was attempting to eat the mares feed. The foals was neither sickly nor malnurished she was given adiquate replacement feed to make up for the early weaning. This foal was stressed on numerous occasions between being pushed away by it's mother and was bitten on the nose by my Vets dog, which the vet stitched up and treated. These events played a part in stressing the foal along with the weaning process which is stressful enough. The foal was never sickly, malnourished or otherwise physically endangered. I agree we should have had a contract in place as I took said mare in on a friendship based with Ms.Smith I had little to no use for the Mare but was presented with a plea from whom I thought was a friend that she was loosing her house and could no longer keep all her horses. Which has since been proven inaccurate statement since Ms.Smith still resides in the same location. Ms. Smith was in contact with myself numerous times and I was even asked to broker the sale of the filly at one time which when brought a buyer and a deal nearly struck Ms. Smith changed her tune and decided not to sell said filly and all of a sudden slander my name and reputation. I have known Ms. Smith for many years and while have always thought well of her have in the recent 2 years seen her go through numerous back surgeries and be put on a pain and perscription drug regument to regulate the impact of these surgeries which I feel has deeply impacted her personna. She even went to the point of screaming at our horse shoer when she mistakened an appointment and he showed up at her house to trim and shoe that he was late and rude profain things, he of course left without another word and was quite upset by the entire ordeal. I do not agree with nor feel Ms. Smiths accounts of the incident regarding the foal nor her perception of myself and my horses. All of my horses are fat, health and happy.

 As to the part regarding her Stud horse, also inaccurate. This horse was in training with me, fitted and shown by me. When he was here she was nothing but thrilled at his training. We had a differing opinion on his capabilities and the further he progressed in training the more his stifle seemed to bother him, I told Ms.Smith on many occasions that his training would be kept light and slow to keep that Stifle from getting stiff or sore. He rode nicely when he left my facility, anything that happened between here and the next trainer is not of my capability to control. Also my operation is insured and stalls are cleaned daily, horses are given fresh water daily and we feed quality hay. Ms.Smith is off base with all her accusations again please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding any statements. You may email me at fabulousgypsy@aol.com
