Baby Girl Horse Rescue Truth Revealed - Saving the Titans

30/10/2024

We posted a while back asking where all the horses have gone. BGHR responded with their own post, stating that Franklin and the horses have been moved to "The Ark" - ie, Van's personal property. The reason? To "do some grounds work" at the Ranch.

As always, this was a blatant lie.

BGHR has been evicted from the Titan/Eagle Ranch for non-payment of rent for several months.

The property is now for sale.

They've completely trashed the barn building - leaving OTHERS to clean up their mess, as per usual.

Where are the horses?

The Eagle Ranch has been cleaned out. There are no horses there.

Franklin has been sighted at Van's house - but not the horses.

Have they been moved to Emily's?

Their page has morphed into a grotesque spectacle, now nothing more than *The Emily Show*, a nauseating carnival of saccharine, faux-inspirational posts accompanied by a relentless chorus of kumbaya.

Yet, beneath this facade of feel-good drivel lies a grim reality—the rotting corpses of countless dead horses, an indelible stain on our collective memory.

Their attempts to reinvent themselves are nothing more than a smoke screen, a desperate ploy to obscure their true nature. These are the same people who have swindled donors out of money and horses and left a harrowing trail of starving, lifeless animals in their wake.

Don’t be deceived by their deceitful veneer; the truth is as ugly as the cruelty they’ve inflicted.

We are watching.

About a year ago, we alerted you to the stalking and harassment of a rescue near BGHR by Emily and Van. See here: https://www.facebook.com/savethetitans/posts/pfbid026YbcvTN12BMjCJ1u1VuAHsfztxvEuzQw4QmJ6kyd2hXaSc6wGrJRAVMLJReHCRgSl

This is still on-going.

Emily has called code enforcement nearly daily and constantly drives past the Helsel ranch to video, stalk, and harass them and the workers there. Jill and Kamron were once BELOVED volunteers of BGHR.

Emily and Van have also attended every code enforcement hearing. Why? For what purpose? The properties are not near each other. There is absolutely no reason for this behavior.

There's another code enforcement hearing today.

Wanna bet who will be there for NO REASON?

Emily talks a big talk about rescues working together - but they have made Painted Horse Rescue's lives a living hell over the last year. The Helsel's dreamed of having more space to offer their rescue horses and have the ability to help even more, Emily has made it her mission to QUASH THAT DREAM - FOR NO REASON. She has absolutely no stake in this besides SPITE.

As of May 15th of this year, BGHR has not been a non-profit entity. So all of the donations they've received are not tax deductible.

Too busy harassing other rescues, writing your "book", and starving your horses to do your paperwork?

Van claims he's a disabled veteran but we find it hard to believe he's disabled in any way.

He even goes so far as to use the handicap parking when he's completely mobile. It's legal for DV license plate holders to use handicap parking in FL but only if they have mobility impairment.

How disgusting to take away a spot from someone who actually NEEDS it.

Van is reportedly writing a book.

Hey Van, would you like us to help you name the chapters?

I'll start -

Chapter 1: How to tell big dramatic mostly bu****it stories to get people to donate

Chapter 2: How to buy draft horses with other people's money and then let them starve in 3 easy steps

Chapter 3: How to pretend to be a hero and accept donations for holidays while keeping donations for yourself or let them rot in the barn

Chapter 4: How to bilk people out of money by pretending to be a "veteran therapy ranch" while having no therapy programs and actually being horrible to veterans

Chapter 5: How to alienate or fire all of your volunteers in 6 months

Chapter 6: How to fake being 100% disabled yet run a corporation that takes in $367,000 in one year

How about it, , can you help name more chapters? I'm sure the book will be a best seller! 🙄

Well - BGHR is back to doing what they did in 2021 - purchasing draft horses from "kill pens" in the midwest. They have a new "Draft Horse Protocol" which we haven't seen proof of since Mac arrived. You know, it's a good thing two people have died so Van has a big sob story to tell so people will donate. Well wait... people AREN'T donating. Perhaps everyone has wised up to their old "Draft Horse Protocol" of starving horses to death or near to death then pawning them off on other rescues to rehab - out of their own pockets, mind you.

Van is like a petulant child. He cries and rants and tells big sad stories and says he NEEDS this horse or that or begs and says I swear we are trying to help this animal or that. His followers give in and give him the money to get said animal. Then he breaks the animal. Then throws it away and cries that it's because others (ie, "The Haters") made the horse break. And Emily supports this behavior - whole heartedly.

Oh sure, they've been in the right place and right time recently. But we are watching. They have a sordid history going back years and years. We will keep watching to keep the horses safe.

We mourn the loss of Gunny but know that his head was finally held high while at Becca's. He had thrived under her care. Who knows the damage that was done by Van and Emily while he was starving under BGHR's watch.

24/05/2024

Oh yeah - the organization they mention that starved horses from 60 down to 40 head? BGHR.

Yep - they did it in Louisiana, they've done it here in Florida.

When will it stop? When will people wake up and listen?

In Florida, you need a certificate to solicit funds if you're a non-profit organization. BGHR's is expired, once again. Does Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation do anything about it? Doesn't seem like it.

This isn't the first time they've been expired. Last time Van concocted this long story about how he's not good at paperwork yadda yadda. What's your excuse this time?

Illegally soliciting funds for rescues he shouldn't even have.

He also doesn't provide Form 990's when asked - a big no no for non-profits as well. Does the IRS care? Nah.

As usual, they get away with it.

Is there anything they're doing right?

Couto - wild horse from (edited) Fort Polk Louisiana - taken in when he was in poor condition. Rehabilitated with Cindy at the Cow Sanctuary. Moved to the "Eagle Ranch" in April in amazing condition. A month later - look EMILY - ribs, indentations, not filled out.

Guess they had a miraculous training session that cured him of being a wild horse since he's out now - 3 weeks after gelding.

Thanks to a follower for alerting us to this story that aired about the mini Freddy, who unfortunately ended up in the hands of BGHR. BGHR who tells sad bu****it stories about the Amish who breed these minis (how did they even come up with that drivel?). Can you even believe Emily saying how "you shouldn't see ribs, shouldn't be indentations, they should be filled out"? As if she's an expert on emaciated horses? Oh wait - she is - because that's what many of her horses looked like a year ago before they plopped them on other rescues to rehab them - WITHOUT CONTRIBUTING A DIME. They washed their hands of them and then moved on to others.

It's like a kid (BGHR) begging mommy (their followers) to buy them all these toys (purchase "kill pen" horses at $6500 a pop), breaking them (starving them nearly to death), throwing them away (sending them out to rescues or shooting them), then asking for more (asking for money for a damn camel). Rinse and repeat.

Thanks, WPTV, for airing about this fraudulent rescue that should be shut down. Freddy deserves better. But, he's cute, and he brings money, so that's what BGHR is going to focus on right now.

Wanna see what they did to the last couple of horses that were at Palm Beach Equine? We'd be happy to show you.

A neglected mini-horse in Fellsmere may have been rescued just in time, according to his rescuers, to recover from starvation, malnutrition and more.

BGHR seems to be confused about purchasing versus rescuing.

Kind of like purchasing a puppy from a pet store and then calling it a "rescue". Or purchasing a baby camel from an animal dealer and calling it a "rescue".

Their followers were duped. This was a personal purchase with donations.

Anyone seeing the light yet?

So this is what BGHR says is "doing great and looking fantastic" and this is what "doing great and looking fantastic" REALLY is.

Commander is now with Adonis Acres and is actually thriving now that he's out of BGHR's hands.

The first pic was just after intake from the "horrible" "kill pen" (aka sale lot) in July 2021. The post was from July 2023 showing an emaciated horse. Commander moved (under duress) to Adonis Acres Aug 27, 2023. The pic was posted April 22, 2024.

Wake up, people.

If Commander hadn't been moved, he'd be dead. Like General. Like Hobbs. Like Callista. Like Gracie. Like Daisy. Like Shyla. Like Boone. Like Crockett.

Oh you mean like deleting comments and blocking anyone that asks any questions that isn't "how can we send you money?"

Or blasting whistleblowers on social media with lies, misinformation, and twisting of truths - and then messaging them behind the scenes as if nothing happened?

Oh yeah - that's BGHR for you.

07/04/2024

We seriously thought BGHR's post about purchasing a $12K baby camel was an April Fool's Day joke but I guess their donors are the fools for thinking this is a good idea.

They themselves ADMIT that they are behind on vet bills, can't afford a hay trailer (the hay trailer has been empty for months), need rent money, and can't afford lumber, but hey, if you feel like it, send us $12K to get a baby camel. At least they aren't calling it a "rescue" like LaPorte Farms did. It's a full on PURCHASE with money they don't have.

Now they've switched gears to a 2 year old camel from the same place that Franklin came from. An animal dealer.

Why do they need another camel? Because it brings in MONEY. It brings in viewers. It brings in visitors. They said they'd never use Franklin to bring in donations. Yet they have Franklin t-shirts for $30 - which is way more than it costs to make them. His antics - such as destroying any vehicle that drives in to the ranch and eating various non-food items because he's incredibly bored - are fodder for views on TikTok and Facebook.

They say it's for "Therapy". Van himself says the animals are for HIS therapy. Let's talk about PTSD and veteran's therapy for a moment. Van claims he's 100% disabled. What kind of stressors set you off, Van? Can't be loud noises - you shoot your own animals routinely. Can't be people - you invite them to your place continuously, berate them, sexually harass them, run them off, call them names, bully them, slam them on social media, etc. Can't be physically disabled - you're on tall ladders building barns. Can't be mentally disabled - you run a business that takes in $367,000 in a year.

You don't have a single therapist in your non-profit. You don't have any training. You've CAUSED more PTSD and trauma to veterans that have been part of BGHR than you've saved.

Is starving horses part of your therapy? Feeding them CATTLE CUBES instead of horse feed because you can't seem to afford proper nutrition? Letting unaltered pigs run around amok at your house? Leaving medical conditions untreated then dumping them on other rescues who need to pay thousands and thousands of dollars to fix what you broke or left too long?

Sure - camels are cool. BGHR seems to have found their new greatest cash cow. It's time to find the horses homes - they are all young, trainable, eventually rideable horses. There's no reason for them to stay there - especially under those conditions.

Any person who donates towards this camel or to any of BGHR's non-existent "programs" is a blind idiot who supports animal abuse and fraud.

STOP. THE. MADNESS.

Director of BEHS Jennifer Taylor Williams says:

“Unless you can keep the horse for life, even if it is terribly misrepresented, stop buying "kill pen" horses. AND stop donating to the "kill pen" rescues. The truck isn't coming tomorrow. They're using you to make loads of money and they're hurting the entire horse industry.”

“These “rescues” have gotten really good at going live on Facebook, crying, telling stories, and raising thousands of dollars in an hour. Basically, they’re good at emotional blackmail. They’re good at pulling at your heart strings.

And so the money pours in. And sometimes they do buy horses. Sometimes they hoard those horses at ranches or quarantine facilities. Sometimes they find them new homes. Sometimes the horses disappear and we don’t know where they go. Sometimes, though, that money doesn’t even go to buying the horses.
Often someone sees a horse being shown as “going to slaughter if you don’t save him” and they have to save the horse. The problem is that sometimes these folks don’t actually have any place for a horse to go. They want to save the horse, but then what? Oh, they ask us, and other rescues, to take the horse in.”

Don't be taken in by Van's EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL. Dramatic and poignant posts about this "mommy" or that "relation that may or may not exist that must be honored by this $6500 PURCHASE with your money".

$6500 horses don't ship to slaughter. Real rescues don't care how tall a rescue horse is - they just take it in, no matter the condition. Draft foals don't ship to Japan from the US (they are purpose bred in Canada).

STOP BELIEVING THE LIES. And stop sending BGHR money for them to starve horses.
