I am totally amazed at some of the things that were said on "some message board" and YouTube, by people who have no idea as to what happened and is happening. CMHR has been labeded "Nazi" me a liar, Shannon is accused of altering pictures etc. I know that i will not change the minds of these people, I don't care, but for the people that have believed in CMHR and what we are doing, I will give a summary from the very Git-Go and this is the truth, wheather you choose to believe it or not.
First, the "22" that Mr Trembly is claiming was stolen from his farm happened way before this got started. He came home froma trip ad found his gate open. He told me the minis were on the road and then they were gone. Actually he told me several versions of this. I have no idea who or how and neither does he. Some people seem to think we stole them..NOT!
Second. Ronni who was brave enough to report the situation is in my eyes a hero. She and her sister were out driving and happened upon Mr Tremblys farm (which can be seen very clearly from the road as it passes tight by 1/4 of the farm) She was very concerned at the condition of the minis she saw and went back 4 times trying to catch Mr Trembly in. He was never located in those visits so she left him a note asking to buy a couple of the minis she thought needed the most care. He never responeded to her note. If he actually was trying to recude his herd, why did he not contact her????? She then went to the "authorities, HSUS, and others and received absolutely NO HELP. She then did an internet search and found CMHR. We were sent pictures. CMHR then tried to no avail to talk with the Sheriff, the DA and others and got the same responses from them. When nothing could or would be done, Gini Acton posted the request for emails, calls etc. It was the only way we could get someone to do something! This not CMHRs way, we accept giveups every month (this month alone 7 more have come into our rescue) from people who can no longer care for them. We do not judge, we do not give out names, we just care for the horses and get them into permanent homes. This has always been our way. However, this situation was dire and needed drastic measures. It was not to disparage Mr Trembly IT WAS TO SAVE THESE STARVING MINIS.
Third: We are all volunteers, we DO NOT RECEIVE ONE RED CENT! Yes, my second trip was financed by a wonderful member who has been a staunch supporter of CMHR since we started. (Thank you!) And Yes, CMHR has purchased 5 of the minis with funds donated especially for that purpose. The others were purchased by individuals and some turned over to CMHR and some kept by the buyers. The only ones not purchased were the 10 that were taken out by SWER (NOT CMHR) and turned over to us for Foster and adoption. THESE 10 were the WORST!!! NOT the BEST as Mr Trembly has been claiming. I have pictures taken at the Foster Moms barn of 8 of these. I know the speculation has run rampent over these ten but I have been unwilly to post the pictures as they are bad, but I am now being forced to do so. I hadn't wanted to fire up this Board again but must do so now to protect the good names of SWER and CMHR. These pictures were taken while I was there by another Board Member who accompanied me. (They will be in a later post as this one will be quite long). I'm sure some of you won't believe what you will be seeing and will probably say they are doctored. Again, I don't care, you are free to believe what you want.
I have already stated that when I first went out there to see for myself if everything we were told was true, that I was so horrified by what I saw that I initially reported back that all but maybe 5 or 6 were in terrible shape. I was wrong (so sue me, I'm only human) The healthly looking ones were up at the round bale that was out there and I did not get a close look at them. Apparently the bigger stronger ones would not let the smaller weaker ones near the hay. I was there twice that day, once at noon and again at 4pm. Mr Trembly had not yet put in an appearance which is why I filled the water buckets that had been dry at noon and still were at 4pm. And Yes, I was mobbed by the minis trying to get to the water. Why? I don't know as I have now been told there is pond available to them. All I know and can say is that the skinny ones were very thristy. The media frenzy had been started a week previously and I can only guess that that is why the hay bale was there. When Ronni had made her several trips to the farm, there was NO ROUND BALE THERE. I have no reason to doubt her as she nothing to gain by all this and wanted only to get some kind of help for these minis. I have met her and found that she is a reasonable and caring person. She too has been vilified by a lot of you for doing what she thought was right and sticking to her guns. Ronni, I salute you!.
I was there too when the KSU Vet and his crew came by. But by that time the 10 WORST had already been taken and they never got to see them. If they had, I guarantee their decision would have been different.
BTW, it is only speculation as to what the Vet actually said and did. SWER and CMHR are NOT privy to anything on his report as it was paid for by the County and has not been given out to anyone that I know of so this too is speculation and rumor.
When I left there on Friday with the 13 we got out that day (purchased)by CMHR and individuals there were 70 minis left. Mr Trembly was gone on Saturday to his Merry-go-round function and when I returned on Sunday morning there were 57 minis left. Supposedly he sold 13 between Friday night and Sunday morning even though he was gone all day Saturday. These 13 are unaccounted for. He may have sold them or hidden them I have no idea and have been unable to verify anything on these missing 13.
Mr Trembly has been nothing but a gentleman to all who have gone to his farm and called him. He is charming and personable (he charmed me) He says all the right things to people, tells them what they want to hear, then does his own thing. It is his right. To those that think his word is gospel, you are asdly mistaken. But again, I know you will believe him (who has something to gain) and disbelieve me (who has nothing to gain except the welfare of those minis) I feel sorry for you.
His claim that the only skinny ones are the old ones is a complete falsehood. I checked several of the skinnier ones and most were under 10 years old. Even if they were all old, there is no excuse for a mini to be skin and bones, none what-so-ever. If proper care is given them, they all should look just fine. They were left to fend for themselves in herd of 100+ and only the stronger ones were doing good. Especially the 4 robust mini mules and the stronger stallions. We have VET PROOF that the ones taken are not all old, some are quite young but almost all have bad teeth some are even unable to eat properly. Does this sound like a well cared for herd??? NO
Now, for the latest horrible truth. Mr Trembly will NOT SELL any of his mares, skinny or otherwise!!! Except for the original 10 of which 5 were mares (horribly skinny mares) not one of the minis that has come out is a mare. All are either geldings or stallions. Why! WHY!! Well because, and this is from two very respected members of this board who have talked with Mr Trembly directly, HE NEEDS THEM FOR BREEDING!!!!!!!!!
His plans are to buy a stallion (the ones he has are too closly related to his mares) and breed....
My understanding is that the DA, Sheriff and SWER have told him that he needs to get down to 40 or less and he will NOT BE ALLOWED to increase his herd. Maybe I am wrong here too as I can only tell you what SWER has told me.
So, to all those who want to finance Mr Trembly directly..go for it, you will be enabling him to do this all over again and maybe the next time his minis need rescuing another rescue that you aprove of will get involved and some of you will actually GO OUT THERE and see for yourselves instead of picking and choosing what you want to believe. I am sure I am going to get slammed again for this post, so BRING IT ON! I know what I am doing is right.
