Michael Hagan Exonerated
California horseman Michael Hagan, who was convicted of taking four Thoroughbreds
as collateral from a business deal in 2010, has been exonerated of all charges. Hagan origi- nally faced eight counts of shipping, driving, or receiving livestock out of state (from New Mexico to California) without an inspection, and larceny. He pleaded no contest to three criminal charges, however later withdrew his plea, claiming inadequate legal advice. With new legal representation, seven of the counts against Hagan were dismissed prior to trial. According to Hagan’s attorney, J. Robert Beauvais, Hagan was acquitted of the eighth and final charge by directed verdict of the judge. Hagan also won a civil suit related to the case. Once cleared of all charges, Hagan had his racing licenses reinstated, and currently operates Racehorse Supply in California.
Dr. Getty’s Horse Treat Tips
Nutritionist Dr. Juliet Getty has made a list of treats that are generally safe to feed to horses and some that are never good to feed to them. In the generally safe to feed group are apples, bananas (including the peel), berries, coconut, grapes, let- tuce, lemons, melons, oranges, peaches, pineapple, sweet potatoes and watermelon (including the rind). In the never to feed group are chocolate, milk and milk products, broccoli, cauliflower, cab- bage, tomatoes, peppers, raw potatoes, onions, gar- lic, spinach and avocado. In certain circumstances, however, some of the generally safe to feed group should not be fed to horses with insulin resistance, Cushings, or risk of laminitis. In these cases, you should avoid feeding apples, bread, candy, carrots, cooked potatoes, and commercial treats made with cereal grains. A better choice would be alfalfa cubes, apple peels, watermelon rinds, and com- mercial products that are low in starch and sugar.
