Default SUNY Cobleskill horses rescued

The 3 were to be sent to auction and most likely from there to the slaughter house . What kind of education is this ?

This is a very irksome and troubling story. All three were trained by Jonathon Buckley curiously, and off Finger Lakes at the end. Timothy Murphy was actually BRED by the Cobleskill College Foundation. That they would try to dispose of him via the kill pen is particularly egregious. That Major Deegan is a half to Latitude Forty, who was a heckuva nice NYB stakes mare..
