U.S. Grand Prix Riders Take Action In Byrialsen Neglect Case “We will try to buy up the ones that need the most help, that are salvageable and can possibly go on to have a good life,” agreed Harding. “Those that are too far gone will need to be euthanized. We feel an obligation to these horses. Words cannot describe how horrified I was. He needs to be in jail.” Assuming Byrialsen is agreeable to relinquishing the horses, their plan is to place them with friends in Europe. “I have a lot of friends in Germany for those horses that are fit to travel, and they would rehab there and be evaluated for what was best for the horse: Is it going to be a broodmare because it had a leg infection that never got treated, or is it going to be able to be recover and come back into the sport?” said Harding. “There are plenty of good people in Denmark and Poland who will take the horses,” said Lipp. “If it’s the last thing I do, I will find a place for every single one of them.” Currently, the group has put on one small fundraiser with another planned. Follow their Facebook pages for more information. Their main goal is to make contact with Byrialsen and begin the process of caring for these horses. “I don’t care about John. I want to get those horses out of that situation. Sometimes you have to rock the boat and be the one who speaks up. I think Shawna, Tina and I are good loud voices, and hopefully he’ll hear our roar!” said Lipp. chronofhorse/article/us-grand-prix-riders-take-action-byrialsen-neglect-case?page=2
