The Equine Therapy Program
« on: August 02, 2006, 10:18:20 PM »
PUBLIC HEARING The Juab County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Thursday April 19 2001 at 8:00 in the County Commission Chambers located at 160 North Main Nephi. The purpose for the hearing is to receive public comment on a request for a Conditional Use Permit by Mark & Cheryl Sudweeks to establish and operate an Equine-assisted school for non adjudicated teens. The proposed school would be located in Section 1 T14S R1W on parcel XD -3630-1-2.

Published in The Times-News, Nephi, Utah on 4/4/2001, 4/11/2001, and 4/18/2001.

----------------------

Is this how most schools get started in Utah?  With a hearing to receive public comment?  What about the industry in general?  Since most programs employ people from the community and nearby towns, it seems like an economic as well as safety (e.g. adjudicated vs.non-adjudicated youth?) issue as well.

Any comments?

Yea, that's rather pitiful considering Mark Sudweeks was found guilty of extreme animal/horse abuse in Canada; was fined over $100,000 and was banned from owning horses in Canada for life.
REGINA vs SUDWEEKS.

So, the Sudweeks move to Utah, and want to open up an Equine Horse Program?

The Sudweeks advertise, and tell parents that their daugher Trinity was trained by Monty Roberts, THE HORSE WHISPERER to run this so-called Equine Horse Program, too.

Yea.....

Animal abuse is right up there with child abuse.  Both animals and children are dependent upon adults to care for them.  What is wrong with the state of Utah? Many of these troubled teen programs in Utah also have a history of using kids to take care of the ranchhand chores on their ranches under the guise of teaching them respect for discipline.  What a deal, eh?   :roll:

Klenna Kleene Valley, BC Canada:
The 29 starving horses and 7 dogs were seized by the BC SPCA in January 2001.......
Then, the Sudweeks are applying for an Equine Horse program in Nephi, Utah in April 2001.

The absolute nerve of some people, huh?

Weren't they forbidden to own animals in Canada as a result of their conviction on animal cruelty charges?

There's more to this Sudweek's MESS.

The Sudweeks had the poor starving animals removed by the Canadian SPCA in January 2001.

THEN: on February 22, 2001--the Sudweeks were evicted from Mexico with 14 kids for illegally operating a business/school.
San Jose Mercury News (ISAC has this article posted).

Mark Sudweeks was tried and convicted, and he lost his appeal.
Yep: he is banned for life from owning any animals in Canada.

THEN the Suds run to Utah and in April 2001 are asking  to open up a teen treatment facility, --and advertise their so-called EQUINE HORSE PROGRAM?

And somehow in the midst of all THIS, the State of Utah issues these people a LICENSE to operate?

Wonder where the Suds are planning to open their next abusive facility as Cheryl Sudweeks faces a criminal trial for child abuse?
They don't seem to stop, do they?

Just curious, when did Whitmore officially open in Utah and when did PURE begin referring to them, if anyone knows.
