information about stolen/missing horses in sullivan county

[sue]

I got an e mail from a gal who told me that she got an e mail via a group about someone in sullivan county that has missing/stolen horses - that the circumstances and the mo was the same of a defunct 50lc public charity called turtle rock equine rescue (ken & mary terry principles)- the nh state vet's office closed them in 11/04 but they continued to operate for a number of months - mary sells donated/boarded ect horses to other people & keeps the money - she sold one of my mares who was supposed to be boarded there (at trr) under a boarding contract - ken signed the contract & mary stated (in an e mail) that trr did not board horses (so you figure)- any way the mare was sold to a dealer in maine (mark merrill of nagabon acres - he admitted that he buys horses from rescues all the time - well I have trr's tax returns (as a public document) & there is not space for them to declare the income - what they did to me was have their lawyer change a court ordered payment plan without the approval of the nh superior court (that is legal I guess) & I paid her her fee as in the agreement & then when I went to pay the rest of the board it was refused - they also cut my stud (cost 30k) & sold my race filly (cost l5,115.32) & disposed of my broodmares as riding horses - I hold all legal bills of sale & reg papers - I sent an e mail to the local sheriff's dept but no one responded - I also checked the neer board & a couple of other horse sites but there was no ifnormation there - the nh state vet's office has a lot of complaints abou thtem & people looking for horses that were donated for lifetime care (mary sold or they went to the meat auction)- I would like to find the person/s in sullivan county who was/were scammed over by this group so that I can share infrormation as to what was done to me -

thanks

Unless all this happened in one day, which I doubt, why didn't you check on your horses? How long had you neglected them in someone else's care before you realized they were gone?
