It seems strange that you would have an exorbitant amount of fly spray on your horse's pasterns. I don't see flies congregating around horses pasterns all the time.<br /><br />Second, NO, Wheelon was not found innocent. The case was DISMISSED. This does not prove innocence or guilt. I think it would behoove you to learn how the court system in America works.For the Tennessee Walking Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136282847284092947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883131984088123932.post-5050852449931179882013-08-18T18:05:21.312-07:002013-08-18T18:05:21.312-07:00" If Wheelon is found guilty on all 19 horses..." If Wheelon is found guilty on all 19 horses that were “scientifically” found to be abused, he could technically die in jail. We have more “cause” than the war in Iraq!"<br /><br />Seriously?? Wheelon was found innocent. <br /><br />"Even the Clydesdales know that Shelbyville is the epicenter of the worst horse abuse in the world; at last year’s show 190 horses were chosen at random by U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors and 145 of them tested positive for caustic substances that had been used to “sore” the forelegs of the animals"<br /><br />Here is the email I sent to Roy Exum concerning his story. <br /><br />"How about you do a bit more research before writing stories? Try getting both sides of the story without passing judgement, perhaps? My horse was actually one of the horses tested at the TWHNC. Do you have any idea what they sent me a "warning letter" concerning? Fly spray. It was an ingredient found in fly spray. Try taking that to court and see what type of charges you receive. Thus, I was one of those 145 out of 190 horses that tested positive for a foreign substance, and it was all because of fly spray. <br /><br /><br />P.S. I still use and will continue to use fly spray regardless of the "warning letter" I received. I would really like to see the case they would present in court against fly spray usage. It would be quite interesting to say the very least."<br /><br />Of course, Exum never responded.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273264490937015436noreply@blogger.com
