"We keep our barren mares on the light side," Paragallo told the Paulick Report. "They’re out in big fields, about 80 acres. We used to give them big round bales, but you can’t get those in New York anymore, so we feed the equivalent of half a regular bale to each horse per day; the horses are getting between 22 1/2 and 25 pounds per day. Some of those horses might get their ass kicked and are a little skinnier. We don’t check them every day.




but i'm betting he gets three squares a day.

The breeder promised to breed the mares to Paraneck stallions, giving Paragallo the opportunity to receive future stallion awards, he wrote.
Paragallo said he didn’t have the name of the Florida breeder and was unaware of what happened to the horses after he said a van picked them up in December.


so, the guy, whose name paragallo didn't even know, was going to call paragallo to set up all these breedings? or was the stud farm fairy going to handle all of the details? this sounds like a bunch of ish to me.

i think he purposely turned away from what he knew full well was going on. but if you want to attempt a defense of the indefensible, go for it.

That doesn’t jibe with what Richard Baiardi told the Paulick Report. Baiardi, who transports and re-sells horses across the United States, said he had talked with Paragallo about taking the horses but that he picked them up at Center Brook Farm much later than December. “I don’t have the exact date,” he told the Paulick Report as he was driving his van through North Dakota on Friday. “But I can tell you one thing: it wasn’t in December. You can call the horse sale and find out what day they arrived, and that’s the day I picked them up.” Baiardi said he has van logs and other documentation to account for the date he picked the horses up at Center Brook.

When asked later about the discrepancy in dates, Paragallo hedged, saying he couldn’t be certain the horses left his farm in December.


“This kind of neglect doesn’t happen overnight, or in three weeks or even two months. The vet reports shouldn’t have been as bad as they were."

the descriptions of the horses in the paulick report, posted above, doesn't describe the horses as being 'fine'. walking skeletons, lice infested. two died that morning...yeah, the picture of health.

Especially when he states EACH horse eats 25 pounds of hay a day, yet they looked like walking hat racks.
