Starving horses, emaciated horses, injured horses and highly unsafe living conditions for all animals. Starved horses were eating feces and others ate sand and tree bark. Poor quality hay was rationed in small amounts, the barn is stifling hot and filled with flies. I had grain I purchased go missing. When I asked the Owner, Rita Lundberg, what happened to the grain? She became loud and irate. Rita continued to argue and then sent other boarders to ambush me and my family as we were trying to leave. Rita also holds large parties and gets drunk with her friends daily. During the weekend May 12-14, 2023 she held a large party. My horse became injured during this weekend and displayed unfamiliar behavior to me. My horse and I have been together for 10 years. I believe Rita in her drunken stupor absued my horse and frightened her. I decided to evacuate the property shortly after. When I confronted Rita for board reimbursement since I did not say the whole month she yelled at me and threw the contract at me. I had looked over the contract before signing and it was poorly written and missing several disclosures. The contract was a copy paste document from a Google template. I did not get my money back; however, I will not stand for my own horses to be starved. I'm a professional in the Equine industry, unlike Rita, and her behavior/ treatment of animals is highly unacceptable. The local Sheriff's office/Animal Control has been notified to ensure no other animals or people fall into the trap.
