Kaleb
 Kaleb on arrival at Frog Pond  Kaleb rehabbing at Frog Pond Kaleb was known as #503 while standing in the Camelot Auctions feedlot waiting to ship to slaughter if not saved by noon on Saturday. He is a big boy, standing almost 18 hands. But he has the heart as big as he is! This is one special guy. He is covered in scars from years of working. We can only assume he was tossed away due to an issue he has choking on dry feed. Within a day of arrival, Kaleb had to see the vet to remove what we thought was a new choke. Turns out we removed oats as well…of which we dont feed. This means his choke blockage started well before coming to us. After an hour and 45 minutes of tubing, a 1/2 of a 2 liter bottle of Coke and a well behaved horse later…he was swallowing easy again. Kaleb rides like a dream. He moved out nicely for my oldest daughter who is a good rider. He was also a babysitter for my 13 year old who is timid. And he knew the difference. You can see his riding videos by going to www.youtube.com/frogpondfarmdrafts and checking him and our others out. Kaleb has found his new home! CONGRATULATIONS to: Dr. Kristy & Dr. Scott Lund Wellington, FL

DISCLAIMER: We are in NO WAY, nor have we or will we EVER be affiliated with Drafty Barn Rescue located in Lore City, OH. The operator of the Drafty Barn Rescue organization has tagged the phrase "Frog Pond" on her website, used a portion of our trademarked slogan for her organizational name, and has placed frog pictures all over her pages. Additionally, she seems to be overly concerned about the length, content and requirements of our adoption application and contracts. This is a small part of her efforts at causing issues for our organization. One very good reason this "rescue" should be watched is shown in living color from Channel 3-Cleveland News Footage. The photo of the operator of the Drafty Barn rescue is shown on the still shot in the video. You will hear her own words and feelings on horse slaughter by watching the link.
There is also a 2008 USDA/Ohio Dept of Agriculture citation against them for Non-burial of Livestock after they left a horse lying in a ditch for days unnoticed by anyone that resides at the farm -- only the children who ride the bus past the farm daily to school. We received numerous phone calls from parents requesting assistance. Should you wish to see this document, please feel free to email us and it will be forwarded.
There is now a report on file with the Guernsey County Sheriffs Department regarding this same individual in Summer 2010 for "Theft by Intimidation" and "Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer" for illegal removal of horses currently under the monitoring of local Humane and Law Enforcement.
