[RC] DWA Medina -update - Valerie HewittThis was posted by Margaret at Colorado TB Rescue on COTH this afternoon - http://www.chronicleforums.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=88148&page=4 <<Crazy busy day today- I've received nearly 100 phone calls and 30 messages from folks on an Endurance board. The story spirled out of control- I was called and asked why I am not cooperating with the old owner who had her horse sold without her knowledge to slaughter! There is nothing farther from the truth! The REAL story: The owner tried to sell the horse locally, and offere it to Ahmisa Animal Rescue here in Ft Collins, who said (like everyone else here) we are full and not acceping new horses. She dropped it off at the sale, and said a Cowboy was asking her questions about the horse and seemed interested. She assumed he would buy Medina and did not think kill buyers were at this sale (although, the kill buyers's Semi's, plaquered with their name and "horses for sale" are openly parked in the parking lot). Then I called and told her what I knew, an asked for her help getting the horse out. The previous owner has offered to help, even offered to pick up the mare at the feedlot and bring her back to her farm until a home is found. The horse was pulled off to the side last night by Amber of Shiloh Acres knowing that we had leads on getting her a home. A good friend of my neighbor's left this morning (she's 200 miles away) to pick up the mare- she has been looking for one like this for a long time, and my neighbor asked me to keep an eye open for a horse that would fit the description. This woman who is adopting Medina has had her other 2 mares for 22 years (one is 32 yrs old now) and wants a younger, fiestier trail riding horse. She has great refrences and is paying the mare's ransom directly, and taking her home. Since we do not have an open stall, this works out wonderfully. I am stunned by the outpouring of support from the Arabian Horse Association in regards to this mare. >> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
