Jill Schnedler, at it again with Manes Danes and Everything Maine

Well, it's been a long time since I posted but I've been very busy with school, work, and other life things.

A few updates: Yada jumped for the first time (by accident) in December! I was free lunging her and she flew over some bales of hay in the arena! I didn't mean to but she looked great! She jumped it a few more times before getting tired. She was so willing and she was adorable. SO proud!

I also have more updates on Jill Schnedler at Coldbrook Equestrian Center in Hampden, ME. She's started running a "rescue" and 4-H Group called Manes Danes & Everything Maine. She's just doing this to get money from the state and "donations" to pay for the horses and animals she already can't take care of or afford. I can't believe people are buying into this!

Since she started this, two of her "rescues" had to be put down due to health issues and such. I don't really know the specifics other than one came in very underweight and one had a split hoof that required surgery, which she obviously couldn't afford because she can't manage money. She also had to put down Duke who has only had cushings as any kind of health problem I know of. Not really sure why but she put him down. She also killed Sir Leonidas, an OTTB that came directly off the track. HE WAS NEVER A RESCUE! ... though she advertises him as one. 

Leon was purchased for her by some very generous, former boarders. They left after they had weight issues with their horses. After spending hundreds of extra dollars a month for their horses, they kept getting skinnier. She was clearly feeding their grain to her horses because she couldn't afford to feed her own. They left and she was left with $900+ less a month in board checks. Somehow, less than a year later, she claims that Leon had shoulder problems and had to get surgery. Something happened with the surgery and his shoulder swelled up and he eventually had to be put down. I'm sure he just had some kind of injury occur and she couldn't afford to get the vet over, or she owes the vet money, and he ended up dying from it. These generous people bought her a horse. A horse that didn't need to be sold but was sold in the hopes of him having a wonderful retirement home and now he's dead. We all feel terrible about it because I helped encourage it. We all put him in that situation without realizing she could be such a terrible human being. I'm speechless.

To go along with my theories that she, in fact, did not get him any kind of surgery, Manes Danes & Everything Maine has a "wish list" On this wish list has normal things that people might need if they have a lot of horses like these:

Food for the animals (dogs & horses)
Halters
Lead Ropes
Feed & Water Bowls
Leashes
Collars
Toys
Treats
Etc.

But she also has things like:
Power drill
Screw driver set (who can't get one of these on their own? They're cheap!)
Table saw
Chain saw
Ladders
Lawn care
Mulch
Paint & Brushes
Harnesses for horses
GIFT CARDS for gas, feed, tack, hardware, etc
Diesel Duly Pick up Truck 350 (Are you serious? You want someone to buy you a new truck?)
Hay Trailer (You've got to be kidding)
Tractor/Back Hoe (Seriously?)
Tiller
Dump Truck (Really??)
2 - 6 Horse Trailer with a Camper (Those are $30,000+! NO WAY!)
Water Softener (Because her water is undrinkable right now, but it's okay if the animals drink it. Crazy.)
Water Heater (Because she broke hers)
Clear Span Indoor Arena (Because she's ruined hers)
Wind Mill (What?)
Solar Power (Because she owes Bangor Hydro $1,000s)
Roofing Supplies (Since she wants people to pay for her new roof, obviously)

And she goes as far to ask people to pay her bills/accounts on:
Hay guy in Etna - hay
Hay guy in Levant - hay
Feed & Tack Store - grain (I'm so sorry they let her have credit, they're great people and don't deserve people like her)
Hardware Store - grain
Foxcroft Vet - because she can't afford her bill
Ridgerunner Vet - because she still can't afford her bill

This is so absurd. I can't believe her. 

While you're at it, might as well pay her electric bill and mortgage! Oh, and cut a check for her too so she has a little spending money while she drives around in her FREE duly diesel truck. OR you could just simply donate a new barn and house... since if the Town of Hampden or the State of Maine inspected either, they would be condemned. Especially her house. I'm surprised the place hasn't completely crumbled from water damage since she has no roof and the water goes straight inside and through a spare bedroom upstairs into her kitchen downstairs.

If anyone is looking for a rescue, DO NOT go to Coldbrook Equestrian Center or Manes Danes & Everything Maine. Jill Schnedler is a manipulative cheat and she will suck you dry before you see the light and realize what she is.

She's also selling great dane puppies... unpapered. They live in her house or "kennel". I've been in their. Not a suitable place for anything to live where cats and her ferret poop and pee everywhere and she doesn't clean and the place is riddled with mold from water damage. Oh, and she has no heat or running water. Fun stuff.
