[RC] Help requested from you rescuers or haulers - SandyDSA
We got an email about a mare who needs a home - and "for a couple hundred
dollars", a mare who is what we like in terms of lines and temperament.
Then it became a couple thousands when I called, then got a quote to haul her -
getting to be a really expensive ordeal to keep this girl from the auction or a
potential resale home which generally can spell trouble....I think killers on
cheap horses. She is not popular bloodlines so has no real marketable value, but
we would be happy to bring her here and give her a forever home. The cost is
something we didn't count on since we had not BEEN in the market for a new horse
yet - but keep and care not the issue. Anyone coming from Montana in the
coming month or so? I was so disappointed after talking to the owner (who BTW
does not yet have her papers, either) then I read so many stories lately about
Arabians being abandoned and going to auction etc. Had some good plans for this
girl - she would be an ideal companion and breeding partner for our old stallion
nice lines for endurance I think - and a good riding horse eventually for me
since we have senior citizens and two yearlings - one to be sold for show
competition. What would have been a simple retrieval is now an expensive
situation. I feel badly because she is not popular breeding lines and so does
not have huge prospects, but she has value to US. We have two close relatives of
hers, and know what she COULD be. Anyone coming from MT for a ride - to the
Mohave area?
