need help and no were else to turn

[Shylo]

hi, i have a big problem and i don't know what to do...

i moved out of PA. were i was staying for a while until i could move to IN. I had to leave my two horses in the care of family. which all was ok until last week, I payed all there feed, or other cost, with no out of pocket expenses to them, as well as full use of the horse while they had them. I was paying 300 a month on top of that, no contract nothing like that. i fell a month behind be cause of the move and all, i couldn't bring them until i found a place to keep them here, which i did but then needed to ship them by a professoinal hauler since i sold my trailer after my truck kicked the bucket. it was to small for one of my girls any way.
I get a call from my dad saying i need to get them out asap were there at are having family issues. my dad keeps an eye out for them and let me know whats going on. (or so i thought) the next day he calls at 6am saying one of my girls are down and got wrapped up in fencing. he was going to go over and see what was going on. I told him please let me know how she is. hours later i get a call from my step-mother no news about my horse yet just she told me i have a week to get my horses out of there, but i can't take them until there paid or they will sell her to who ever for whatever they can get. Then pops off with i had to make a decisions by that evening if i could get the money. i should be able to tell her in two hours if i could come up with the full 950, for them and shipping. Believe me if i could they would have been here last month.
i was so stressed out at this point, my horses were all i have left, my ex-husband lied to the court and took custody of my daughter be cause i didn't want to stay in Nevada, i couldn't really. I have chornic depression and alot was brought on by him. and having my animals has always kept me in check. so there all i have now, Maj i've had her for over 9 years been through hell and back with her had her since she was 2, Nykki was a rescue with major issues that after 2 years were getting some results. for severe abuse from former owners. I could never just give them up.
then later the call comes in about Nykki, Not once did they call the vet to see what he could do. just to come and see he wouldn't have charged me. None called to ask me or give me an explaintion. I was told they put her down. I called my vet and found out he was out of town but there was someone to help out while he was gone. But they had a way to get ahold of me 24/7 but they did not, they put her down without my concent, with out telling me what was going on, with out teling me anything more then she was caught in a fence. a fence which was thick double twisted wired that was almost impossible to break. It just sounds funny to me, really.


but still i was told i had to know about the other one by that evening. I ended up having a nervous breakdown (anxity attack) and was in the hospital for two days, I still don't know what to do, i sent my step-mother an email to tell her i put a call in to see if my vet would buy her, that way it would give me a chance to get her back, if not i know she would go to a good home not just anyone. this is my last baby, over 9 years i've had her, and they want to take her away just like that, with no concern that i lost Nykki and with no explaination be hind it. I don't know anyone else who would buy her and let me have a chance to get her back,
any advice out there? anyone know what i could do before she's taken away from me to....forever?

Nykki the one they put down, she was only 8 years old, and depsite her issues was a great trail horse and loved to be out.
Dusttie Majyk my last, i know if i loose her like this i will never let myself get attatched to another horse, and i love horses. and all animals, i even do pet portraits but because i don't have the funds to advertise, i dont get anyorders in. besides i do it just to make people happy that loves there pets. i do everything i can to help others in need everychance i get now i need the help and loosing everything, and being heart broke over my own animals will keep me from loving the only thing i love as much as animals is painting them.<br><br>Post edited by: Shylo, at: 2009/11/15 07:55

That is just so sad, I feel for you and hope the silver lining shows up soon. As this cloud seems to be hovering over you at this time.

so far things haved worked out. I have talk to the person who has my animals and they never said that it was all from my step mother, who wouldn't keep her nose to her self.... about the one that was put down, there was nothing they could do and i finally got the whole story about what happened, i did inform them that although i do not hold them responsible for it as accidents do happen, that still someone should have called me and ask what i wanted done, not just take it upon them selves to do it. i would have wanted her put down at that point as i knew she wouldn't make it but then it would have been my choice, it was my horse.
i will be leaving my remaining babies with them until this summer, my step mother is to have no say so at all in any matter... i couldn't just take them away from my niece who is only 14 and loves them to death. the one that died was her favorite and the one she always rode when we went out on trail rides before i left. she took loosing her hard and i wasn't about to break her heart. so this are good for now, and there will be no more of my step mother getting into the agreement i have now. they are safe. and i know they will take care of them now that i really know what happened.
