Growing up with a love for horses has inspired me to pursue a college education with a major in Natural Horsemanship and a minor in Veterinary Science. My dream is becoming a reality as I will be attending The University of Montana-Western. This is a small college located in Dillon, Montana. After college, I plan to pursue a career in equine rehabilitation.
The University requires me to own a horse, a truck, and a trailer. I have a horse and a truck, but finding a trailer that is enclosed, road-safe, mostly rust-free, and tall enough for my 16.1H horse has been challenging.
If you know of a bumper-pull 2 or 3 horse trailer that is safe, has good brakes & tires and is mostly enclosed, for $2,000.00 or less, please contact me. I MUST have a trailer by the end of July when I leave for college.
You can reach me at a.copus@hotmail.com
Thank you! ~ Amanda Copus

Barretts is wholly owned and operated by the Los Angeles County Fair Association (Fairplex), a 501(c)5 mutual benefit corporation. Barretts relies on the financial strength of Fairplex since, unlike most other organizations in the racing business in California, it receives no subsidy from either takeout from wagering or governmental agency. Fairplex proactively looks for ways to increase business efficiency, which is doubly important in this economy. A good recent example of this is the incorporation of the ITW facility and Finish Line Sport Grill into the Barretts auction facility which has been a boost both for the auction business and the ITW business, as well as adding the Finish Line Sports Grill as a new business. Without industry support for the Fairplex training program, it is clear that Fairplex will not need the currently available 1,800 stalls for its three week annual race meet. With the reduction of inventory of horses available for auction in the state, it also becomes clear that Barretts will not need all 504 stalls in the current Barretts barn area. From a strategic standpoint, it is apparent that the stalls that would be best utilized for alternate use on the grounds would be the only ones with clear street access along White Avenue that will not impact other Fairplex businesses (i.e. Barretts auctions and the live race meet). Among these barns are Barretts Barns 3, 6 and 9. There was a Conditional Use Permit submitted to the City of Pomona to change the zoning of all nine Barretts barns as a matter of convenience, but there are no current plans to expand past the Barretts Barns 3, 6 and 9 conversion into a business park. Without Barns 3, 6 and 9, there are still 336 stalls in the Barretts barn area which would be big enough for every Barretts auction held in the past 21 years, except for some Mixed Stock sales. It is Barretts' intention to screen the Mixed Stock sales in the future to fit into the current stall allocation, if necessary. If for some reason this is not adequate, the Fairplex race stalls could be used for overflow as has been the case in prior Mixed Stock sales. Fairplex remains committed to continuing the annual Barretts auctions and its annual live horse racing meet. The increased utilization of the space and structures that will be realized with this conversion will help it do so. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Bill Baker or Kim Lloyd baker@barretts.com 4/1

FLASH!! CTBAboardwatch learned today that the City of Pomona received a Conditional Use Permit request from Fairplex on February 18 to convert Barretts' nine sales barns to office/storage units. More details will follow. For more information contact the Pomona Planning Department at 909-620-2341, and refer to Conditional Use Permit 10-006

CTBAboardwatch February 4, 2010 While we pride ourselves on distributing well-researched, factual newsletters (often peppered with our own opinions and recommendations) we decided to make an exception in this edition. CTBAboardwatch has learned from a reliable source that Fairplex , owner of Barretts Sales , may convert it's nine attractive barns into public storage units in the near future. Such a conversion would not surprise us. Fairplex CEO James Henwood told us 18 months ago that private investors held a major interest in Barretts; furthermore, he admitted the sales company was returning only a two percent return on investment to them. And that was for the previous year....2007. Since then Barretts Sales annual receipts have almost halved . This fact, of course, has turned the company's modest profitability into a significant cash drain on Fairplex. This may well be the reason Barretts Sales staff was reduced from six people in 2007 to its current three. Barretts president Jerry McMahon was forced to resign in late 2008, and two other key employees followed him. Henwood can be reached at 909-623-3111; Barretts' Kim Lloyd and William Baker are at 909-629-3099.

Dear Friends of Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue,

The Bureau of Land Management have plans to remove an additional 12,000 wild horses from our public lands over the next year. They have already zeroed out many herds and even reduced famous "Cloud"s herd to an unviable number. There aren't enough homes for more wild horses, there isn't even enough homes for the ones already in the corrals!

Unwanted unadoptable horses end up at the slaughter houses time and time again. Don't let this be the end for our wild horses!

Please visit the following link to reveiw our October appeal for action and support.

Thank you for your care and support. We depend on you.

Kind regards,

Jill Starr

Stolen/Lost Horses & Found Horses

Five years ago we sold a gelding to a family who boarded him at Diamond Bar stables in Riverside. They sold him to someone else and then he was brokered out for lessons somewhere. We never should have sold CUERVO . We would love to allow him to grow old at our home. He is chestnut with a blaze and would be 20. He should be registered with AQHA. He could be in barrels, high school rodeo, roping, goat tying or be simply retired. We would love ANY update on his whereabouts. Jeanne 805-217-3685 7/20

After 4 days of desperately searching, the owners themselves found the lost horses in the Norco Riverbed. The horses spooked and ran into a deep covering of bamboo. The owners were out searching and for whatever reason, stopped, got off their horses and hiked into the bamboo – they discovered the two horses trapped in the bamboo without food or water. Both horses are recovering nicely from their ordeal and the owners would like to extend their thanks to everyone who offered assistance when the horses were lost. HAPPY ENDINGS!!!!

Our horse was stolen around 5 pm on Monday! She is a paint and has bright blue eyes. She is almost all white with a few spots of light brown and brown all around her face. Her name is Angel and I'm sure she is so stressed out where ever she. It is very important we have her home so she can get her Medication.We just want her home. Thank you for all your help. Bree Justice, please email ochsjustice@yahoo.com or contact the Huntung Beach Police Dept 714- 375-5066.

Allison & Linda were reunited with Rose (gray mare) & Duchess (dark bay mare)!!!! The e-mail sent out was forwarded & cross posted to so many people and it made it to the right person! The horses were taken by 2 teenagers that wanted a horse. They then took them

to Mira Loma where they boarded them at a couples home that boards horses.They groomed them, rode them, wormed them, bought grain, and thankfully took very good care of them! But that doesn't excuse the crime nor does it excuse the anguish they put Linda & Allison through. The couples whose home they were at got the e-mail forwarded to them and when she opened her heart sank as she realized those horses were in her back yard. They called Linda & Allison and they were at her house within 30 minutes.

On 2/16/10 2 horses were taken from the Arlington Heights area of Riverside . Both horses are older mares. 1 horse is a gray horse and the other horse is a dark bay quarter/thoroughbred mare. Duchess is owned by Linda Moeller and she is beyond devastated that her companion of many years has been taken. Duchess is 29 years old, 15.3 hands, dark brown almost black bay with a wide white stripe of her face with a recent scar across her forehead over her eyes.

She has 3 white socks, left front club foot with shoes on the front feet only. She often hangs her tongue out. Linda is offering a REWARD for the return of her horse! Please contact Linda at 949-633-9711 or lmoeller38910@roadrunner.com
More info to follow on Rose, the other horse taken.
Please forward this on to you horse community to saturate the word about these missing horses. If you have any ideas on how to spread the word we would appreciate your suggestions!! Owner of both Rose 7 Duchess are offering a reward for their return!
Thank you!
