I had my horses in the city right beside the public fairgrounds. When I bought the house I called the city council, the fairgrounds, and the City Police Dept. They all said it was fine they had no laws or what ever against it, just keep the manure cleaned up which was not a problem.
I get my horses all moved into there new home. The my mare and her colt passed away as I wrote in my last blog. Just when I thought everything was gonna be great by having my horses in the back yard.
I was planning on moving my horse to where she could have lots of pasture however, I did not file for my permit, a couple months later they sent me a letter saying, They gave me 10 days to move my horse. My boyfriend and I was having some trouble because he has a farm with pasture but I could not move my horse there because I had no job. That is one of the reasons I started working, but I was a little mad at him so I hadn't moved my horse yet. I got a job shortly thereafter. Then the city health dept. guy starts sending the humane society to my house. Well I will be damned if they take her, so I tried to find another place for her. I could not find one.
I finally had to brake down call one of my xxx boyfriends to see if he'd take her for me, well he did, Thank God. I did not want to tell them where she was at, I really did not think it was any of their business, after all the issue was over me having to move my mare.
I would not tell them where she was, They issued a warrant for my arrest. I had to get a lawyer which did not really do anything but keep me out of jail, which I do appreciate. I just had to tell them where she was stabled, so they could check to see if she was there.
The City Health Dept. had been to my house several times to see if she was there, but they could not come back to see if she was not there. They are not issuing anymore permits after next year. There you have it The fine politics of the city at work wasting tax payers money.
