I am so sorry for taking so long to post the information. I am still dealing with daily bureaucracy for Ringo. The Lenawee County Animal Control Officer is: Gina Meadows c/o Lenawee County Sheriff's Office 405 N. Winter Street Adrian, MI 49221 Phone: 517-263-0524 FAX: 517-263-3312 State...

Make that sister Vickie.....I'm 37

Well, it seems I have reached the end of the line for now - at least until I get the info I requested from the State Vet & Animal Control. I sent formal "Freedom of Information Act" requests and they have up to 3 weeks to putz around. Ringo was quarantined on the property. Last Thurs. I...

Vickie, That's one of the nicest things someone has ever said!! Of course I'll take you up on it! Thanks for all the kind words & thoughts.

Another UPDATE. The authorities in MI are zipping their lips until they receive formal requests from me under the Freedom of Information Act. So much for their original enthusiasum I just want to know the condition of Ringo - any ideas on how to find out how the little horse is doing??

To Chief's Person: Chief left this life knowing that he was loved. He left knowing that his "person" loved him in spite of his demons - enough to set him free. And free he is, waiting to give you all the love & kisses & whinnies that he was unable to do down here. You'll feel him for sure...

Shame on you for thinking you are asking for a pity party. What I did was hard but you have to do it on a daily basis. What I have found out - due to your support - is that I am not alone. You all made me see that. I've donated time and money before but I've never really DONE anything and...

Another wonderful life gone due to a human. May Mona Lisa gallop & play with no pain now. May Lil' Bit of Hope have everything her momma didn't. I am so lucky to have found this board. It is comforting to know that we all cry together. You are in my thoughts & prayers. ((((HUGS)))) Kristie

Yep!!! I know how far it is but that's OK. If I bring him to "Frankie" it would be just like almost going up & coming back home as she is about an hour West of me. I did e-mail Kay.

My prayers are added. Thank you for saving her. Kristie

I have never been so at peace. I have never done anything so right. I have cried a bit this morning but that is only after I received the first of many hate e-mails from my family. I can't put into words how mad they are at me. BUT, thru it all no one has mentioned Ringo or any other animal...

I'm in SW OH (south of Dayton). I have a horse-size trailer and I could bring him to somewhere in Indiana.

UPDATE: It has been a very long & emotional day but I did want to give an update on Ringo. Since I couldn't get anywhere with the County I spent hours a day trying other avenues. I have succeeded in getting the State of Michigan Dept. of Agriculture involved. Thanks to the phrase "manure...

PM sent. A long one. Feel free to share with the board as I wanted you to read first. Thanks so much, Kristie

Frankie (Carolyn), I will be calling you before the end of the weekend. I need to love on my own horses today AFTER I make another call to the humane society. My sister does not have an e-mail. However, the couple that lived in their home before them lived there for over 30 years so maybe...

I am getting Zero response from the county & township regarding anything, from report to zoning, etc. I am going to call Horses Haven equine rescue. I'll will keep this post updated.

Frankie, Hugs to you for your offer. It is much appreciated and I may take you up on that. Right now I am working on the zoning issue. She is zoned residential and has farm animals. Hopefully that will be the loophole. If not, then I am going to call a rescue in that area.....Horses Haven...

I've tried to buy him. I have my own farm and have always been willing to take him but they won't sell. It's very twisted as they have no reason to keep him. I begged her to let me take him home in May. They were going to give pony rides on him with his fairy slippers. They have now bought...

That animal died. Suffered for hours before she finally passed on. About 5 years ago I was going to retire one of my horses to her home (2 acres). He was quite the schoolmaster & I thought having 2 little girls to love him would be the best retirement present ever. I spent 2 days collecting...

Thanks so much for your responses. SunQuest: I have done #1 & 3. Seems mini was fat so feet & living conditions were not of importance . I have eyewitnesses but no documentation such as pictures because the family member is my sister and I tried all avenues before turning to the Humane...
