East Coast Rescue groups.. before Monday

[2LaZ2race]

I'm looking for any Equine rescue groups that might have openings before a horse at my barn goes to New Holland on Monday.

I've contacted SNJTBR, CANTER, Days End, LAPS and I'm either waiting on a response or they are full.

Horse is in SEPA and I can provide more details but I'm currently googleing my fingers off.

Any ideas are appreciated!

Did you try Rerun or Mid-Atlantic Horse Rescue? Could you give more info about the horse?

Just e-mailed ReRun.

Would you like me to PM you the details or were you suggesting i just post them in general?

Left at your barn? Does that mean the owners are MIA? Who is sending it to auction?

[Laytian]

POST THE DETAILS! Someone here may decide to buy the horse (from the owner/barn, and/or New Holland) -- problem solved. Or, at the least, if a rescue or foster *does* manage to get the horse at the auction, they likely have a little more info to go on upfront than they'll get otherwise via New Holland.

I take it that this is Not your horse, right? And you're Not the barn owner either, correct? That's how it sounds from your post, but, just checking.

I am sorry to hear this. I assume this is the horse that is posted in the giveaway section. He is a good looking horse - however I am really afraid that he will end up on the slaughter truck in a heartbeat if he goes through next auction.

Did you post over on the Alex Brown forum? The FOB's are pretty good about saving horses, worth a shot.

Wish I could take him. I would take him in a heartbeat. Right now I have three to worry about and financially absolutely cannot handle another one.

I'm not familiar with Alex Brown but will try to register.

I know any of us at the barn would keep him if we could but we all have at least one horse and some of the women have more than 1. I was worried about posting all the details but at this point i'm not afraid to expose someone who's (in my opinion) doing such a horrible thing to a horse.

[FalseImpression]

I would be careful posting on ABR. They all get crazy with the rush of saving and they seem to disappear with no follow up. You don't want him to end yp in a worse place. Plus, if you are not "one of theirs", they may give you a hard time.

Can you hide him this weekend? If she comes, she can't find him? The BO should be ok with keeping him until the 1st since it is paid till then. It could give you some extra days.

I think "post the details" refers to the details of the horse; height, age (5), name, any pics etc

He looks pretty beat up--what the heck happened to him? Wish I could take him--he looks like a sweetheart.

EXACTLY. You're trying to find this horse a home, so you need to make it as *simple* as possible given the time constraints to do so. Write down as much as you can about this horse -- the basics above, plus whatever else you can add such as temperament (on a scale of 1 to 10) and what you know of him. Good ground manners? Easy to load and trailer? Has anyone been riding him in the past month that he's been at your barn? What was he like to ride?

Whatever you can add (I realize that you may not know this horse well since he's only been at the barn for a month) would be helpful.

Then POST the details on the horse here and wherever else you're sending info on this guy.

Good luck finding him a home, he looks like a nice horse.
