Horse Industry Future

Some words from Christy Sheidy who runs Another Chance For Horses in PA.



I know there have been a lot of questions about what is going to happen when the EU rules go into affect which is now. The answer is that the kill buyers are still buying and shipping it's business as usual with a question as to what will happen next. New Holland auction operated same as always prices all over from $60 to $2,300 for one unique horse of a different color. I am hearing the same from the other kill buyers as well. There will be a statement needed to send in with the load that the horses haven't had drugs and random testing done on horses slaughtered I am told $5,000.00 fine if one is "hot" for drugs. TB's of course not wanted so much and I foresee a problem with them going through the underground direct to slaughter path now.

Both Canada and Mexico supply the EU chain of horse meat suppliers. More in Mexico are not EU so I do expect to see the Mexican numbers rise for a short time while people figure the details out. Slaughter hasn't stopped!

The horses we list are owned by people with a contract in Canada and contacts with contract in Mexico. Between the two of the dealers/killers they supply a vast majority of horses to both along with sale horses higher priced as well. We list ALL levels of horses on our website as I have seen expensive get hurt or start getting sick and go "the other way" quick.

This week I do expect more to go toward Mexico but did see horses getting prepared to go to Canada as usual yesterday. We will have to wait to see numbers of exports to verify and validate our thoughts.

In an effort to help the horses in the pipeline I evaluate and list the horses on our website www.ac4h.com under broker owned horses which includes pictures, information and also some video. They are available from listing until Friday at 4:00 pm est. Instructions on what to do to save one of these horses http://www.ac4h.com/BOABC.htm. All donations to help the horses in any capacity go to christy@ac4h.com which is AC4H's only paypal address. Information about this program is at the top of the page.

NOTE - We do not have time to fundraise on behalf of people we are running a rescue with 40 horses saved from abuse,m neglect and slaughter and our fundraising efforts need to be focused on AC4H and the horses in our care.

Thank you for helping them. For those who want to watch what happens to the horses or do not know below are the HBO Running for their lies which won Sports Emmy Award- AC4H was featured.


We list horses for multiple people. We have horses listed for almost every kill buyer there is in this area. Because they do not want to be revealed even though a lot of people know who they are and have seen them at auction or on video we will respect their wish of not putting their name on the forums, thank you for complying as we appreciate their allowing the horses to be helped have been stalked, harrassed and do not want to be so please respect that as well as the fact that there are multiple owners represented not just one although that may be your incorrect perception.

We have listed horses from Simons many times as well as Moore and purchased horses from them as well. Simons sells high prices horses and slaughter horses just like the rest of the large dealers. "It's just business".

The Simons she refers to is a killbuyer from Minnesota.

When I hear more, I will post.
