August 18th court hearing

The Judge (Christine Allen-Jackson) ordered the following:
 
Once a week, two vets will meet on the farm to examine the horses.  They are Dr. Newman (vet contracted by the SPCA) and another vet Meyers or Meers (don't know who he works for, probably Stuebing).  They are to confer on the status of each horse and take the appropriate action (medication, special feed, etc.) and agree on a solution.  
    - She mentioned that Dr. Newman has not seen the horses for a month.
 
She ordered the stalls to be cleaned DAILY (apparently, this was a problem the SPCA complained of).
 
She ordered that a farrier examine each horse and that the appropriate action by taken to correct any problems.
 
She said the SPCA can still make their police-escorted visits, but those visits are not to coincide with the vets' meeting on the farm
 
She also ordered the SPCA to be more careful and take the appropriate precautions necessary to avoid "cross contamination".  There must have been some talk about the SPCA visiting another farm, and possibly bringing something contagious to this farm.  I don't know if that it true or not, but the Judge did tell Captain Goldberg, he is to take appropriate precautions, and to check with the State EPA if he needs to.
 
She said Stuebing is not allowed to interfere with either the Doctors' visits or the SPCA's visits.


The appeal hearing is scheduled for September 29th.
