[RC] Trailer addident/endurance rider in need - Tx Trigger
On the way to the Cuyama multi day ride last week,
Dave Rabe, had a horrible trailer/truck accident. His horse "Rushcreek
Okay" is going to heal, but the other horse, "Thunders Coming" had to be put to
sleep. Thunder was on loan to Dave by Roxanne Greene. He was a DR Thunder Bask
baby. I was actually working for Roxanne when this colt was born. A very
sad loss for everyone, but thankfully, Dave was not hurt seriously. You can read
more on this, and find out about a fund that has been set up to help Dave out on
the Easycare blog. If any of you have ever shared the trail with Dave, you
know he is always there to lend a hand. He rode my horse Hank for me, on his
first 50's, when the horse was being a tad naughty with me, and also helped me
get through Tevis in 2005. He was on Thunder that day. Anyway, insurance is not
covering as much as one would hope, and along with needing a whole new rig, he
has vet bills, and expenses for new tack etc. too. Dave is retired, and
endurance is what keeps him going. I hope some folks can maybe help out a fellow
endurance rider, who has helped SO many over the years. And Dave would NEVER ask
for help from others, even tho he offers his help so willingly. Read more
here:
He is also looking for a trailer. His
preferences are:
3 horse
8' wide
22' belly length or less mangers for storage walk through door from
LQ to horse compartment size of fridge not important as far as brands - he
wants something that'll hold up to very heavy use, Sundowner, 4-Star,
etc.
Under $30,000
If you have something, email me, or Karen Chaton,
and we can pass it along. Dave does not have email. (he finally has a cell phone
after years without) <grin>
