This really is upsetting to read, so reader beware:

My question is the shoes...they are on the back hooves. I don't see any on the front or I just not seeing them in the photos. But, okay you shoe the horse, but you don't feed it.

Is this a black market that is racing horses till they die? Dump the body on the street?

Edit:
The horse was euthanized:

This is not for the faint hearted...

NetPosse has this, too, that it tries to educate the Florida population and rescues about:

Glad they are going to trial.

We have know about this woman for a long time, dealt with some of her

NetPosse.com News Brief CA: Woman pleads guilty to horse sales fraud
From wire service reports
Posted: 10/07/2010 01:57:30 PM PDT

A woman who tried to sell a nonexistent Friesian mare to undercover
investigators tearfully admitted today to carrying out a horse sales fraud scheme
that netted $250,000 from 27 victims over four years. Trina Lee Kenney,
32, of Wrightwood, appeared before U.S. District Judge A. Howard Matz and
tearfully admitted to committing federal mail fraud by cheating more than two
dozen prospective horse purchasers in 23 states and Canada.

Her crimes carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison, Matz
said, noting that Kenney "deceived people into sending (her) money."
In her signed plea agreement, the defendant admitted falsely claiming her
horses were safe for children and beginners.
She also acknowledged drugging a horse to make it appear calm, and painting
horses to make them appear black rather than brown, according to papers
filed in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles.
Kenney further admitted that from 2004 to 2008, various horses she sold
were starved, covered in sores and cuts, had hooves that had gone untrimmed so
long the animals were unable to walk and were suffering from a severely
contagious equine respiratory disease, prosecutors said.
Doing business under several names -- including Prestige Distribution,
Horses and Ponies and Star Horses -- Kenney advertised the horses for sale on
the sites _dreamhorse. com_ (http://dreamhorse. com/) , _eqine.com_
(http://eqine. com/) , , _horsetopia. com_ (http://horsetopia. com/) and _agdirect.com_
(http://agdirect. com/) , according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
After receiving payment, Kenney often failed to deliver a horse, or refund
money to victims who received substandard animals. She also delivered
different horses from the ones ordered, prosecutors said.
When customers complained, Kenney stopped returning calls or e-mails,
falsely claiming the victims had breached sales contracts. She also threatened
to sue victims for "defaming" her, according to prosecutors.
In one instance, Kenney attempted to sell a Friesian mare named Azure --
that never existed -- to an undercover FBI agent and U.S. Postal Inspector
for $2,500.
During the sale, Kenney gave the buyer "the runaround ... and ultimately
failed to deliver any horse," Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph N.
Akrotirianakis told Matz, who set a Feb. 10 sentencing date. CNS-10-07-2010 12:29
