Sad story about horse "rescue"

Dina has now thrown Ray Paulick under the bus on Twitter posting his arrest record and mugshot, calling Maggi Moss a liar while repeatedly posting Donna's tweet. This is getting really messy. And Steve Haskin's twitter account has disappeared.

This is messy, and shows some of the real pitfalls of social media.

Hard to know the whole story.

Bloodhorse took down the original story Steve wrote about Dina and IcareIHelp, although somebody found it and reposted it on Twitter using the Web Archives. Apparently they do a podcast together. Taking the story down was not a good look for him or Bloodhorse.

This sport is so broken.

I've always had a "girl crush" on Donna Brothers and this reinforces it. Here is a person who's directly involved in the sportt and she's willing to put her money and effort where her her mouth is.

Of course it is. He doesn't want to be called to task about how he enabled an animal hoarder. He and the rest of the BH (not to mention most other major racing publications) would rather focus on glamorous yearling sales and two year old races instead of the real problems most responsible horse caretakers deal with... which entails cleaning up the horrific messes that disreputable breeders and trainers create.

I just find it very odd the Kevin Cox The Cowboy dude is reportedly a board member of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance yet he was promoting on Twitter asking for donations for a "rescue" that is not accredited by TAA. There are 64 rescues that ARE. He was asking for donations AFTER the Paulick article in April came out.

Dude pats himself on the back 100 times a day on Twitter on how great a handicapper he is but crickets on this issue.

Dina is going to see her donations shrink up to nothing except from her handful of cult followers. She and her cult are nutjobs.

There is more to the story from this bunch of weirdos.

I kinda liked him before this. Could it be that he's not responding fearing a lawsuit? Regardless he dropped the ball and should be excluded from any Industry position IMO

Nah, if he is bringing attention to rescuing horses that is a good thing, but geez whatever happened to manning up when you eff up?

Bloodhorse tries to bury the original story and Haskin deactivates his Twitter account? What is he doing now, hiding under his bed?

I'd have more respect for these guys if they just said, "Hey Dina duped me." Instead they try and hide and ignore it, hoping it goes away.

But the way this idiot Dina is fanning the flames, this ain't going away anytime soon.

And who suffers the most? The horses.

There is more to this story. I can smell the stench from here.

This story really was heartbreaking to read. Terrible.


I believe Steve Haskin's reputation is at risk along with Blood Horse. Deleting an article and making a pablum statement just doesn't cut it in my opinion. They weren't the only ones duped by his article as I recall reading it months ago.



I had to read this [PaulickReport] article even if I wish I hadn't.
