This Is How A NYSS/NYSHBDF Trustee Addresses The Breeders Of NYS???

Oh, there was this. So you lied?

pissant you’re out of your league

Let's add some clarity and facts to this:

Steve Jones is a third generation and world renowned breeder and farm owner.
Steve was, at one time, or currently is:
Trustee of the (Agriculture) New York State Horse Breeding Fund (and he was directly and was personally involved with securing a record purse structure for the New York Sire Stakes program for 2025).
Breeder of King Of The North, Check Me Out, Deweycheatumnhowe, Well Said, and Goalie Jeff.
President of Goshen Historic Track.
Trustee of the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame.
A Director of the Hambletonian Society and Vice President of the Grand Circuit.
A recipient of the Monticello-Goshen USHWA John Manzi Leadership Award.

That said, Steve sent an email to his constituents. Now you have a person, not their constituent, who has zero standing and stature in the industry, who has a well-known, public, and long-standing hard-on for Steve; this person takes the email-----creates and adds his own interpretation, take various statements and comments out of context, and manipulates the intent of the email, simply to: one, further his own agenda and his own personal vendetta against Steve; and two, simply to besmirch and damage Steve.

In the end, nothing will happen (to Steve) as a result of this email. Exactly the opposite actually. Nobody but this person will have a problem with the email. Sure, you will hear all kinds of innuendos, the media this, the breeders that, and so on. All of it is BS. Steve has always been an advocate for breeders in NY. Breeders support him. The statements Steve made in the email are reflective of the breeding industry and some of what the current landscape is. But make no mistake, Steve's motivation is for the benefit of breeders, to improve the industry. Steve is not sabotaging breeders, or the breeding industry. In reality, this person is. Read the entire email. Talk to breeders. Draw your own conclusions-----because this person is obviously not objective and unbiased.

Steve and his Dad Hal we’re always an asset to our business!
