I have a friend who had a polish Arab and that horse absolutely adored her and would walk through fire for her if she asked.
Oh, his amazing life changing journey blah blah blah. Like heās so speshul now, on a higher level of existence than the mere mortals he left behind, toiling in their mediocrity.
Really.
I read that as
Hey! Everyone looky!!! I did a Thing & you all arenāt falling at my feet
And that Thing = serial horse abuse and epic mooching for several months. Gee, am I impressed!
What a wretched excuse for a human being.
Given he doesnāt care about the way he treated his horses ā¦
Does any part of him get the wild juxtaposition of himself riding across Texas all he-man and cowboy and alone with the dusty road and not spending money when he can borrow and beg and ā¦
⦠alla sudden riding in the cab of a luxury truck across Colorado? With AC and audio and snacks and ergonomic seats and everything. While yammering about I dunno what, but heās sure that grandpa bailed, too, back in the day.
That was ā a moment. For me, anyway.
We knew he was bogus, but for he himself to up & prove it so definitely was ā something.
Thanks for the update @2DogsFarm I have not been on FB or other SM outlets. Plus he blocked me on Insta.
I hope the horses get a soft landing soon.
Iāll post whatever updates pop up on the FB page.
Might need to check Dreamhorse for the New & Improved sale ads
All the better to troll him with
Falcon is going to auction.
Poor Old Pete will go for private sale.
Falconās owners offered to buy him back but he is not honoring that. I bet he cannot list Pete because, IIRC, he did not have ownership documentation when questioned in Idaho. At least Falcon wonāt be with HIM anymore.
ETA: Looking at Platinum Equine Auctionās sales results I donāt think heāll fetch anything near his $60K or whatever it was he previously listed them at.
Ok bc so from the video it sounds as though he might donate the horse to a 501c. Does anyone have one that can contact him?
What a farkinā prince /s.
Thanks for the update!
The Stop Cereal FB page has gone silent.
ETA:
posted the tiktok link to the FB page
@BrownDerby In his peabrain heās holding out for $$$ from the auction.
I sure hope he hasnāt set a stoopid Reserve & Falcon finally gets rid of Asshat as owner.
Sale wonāt be based on āfameā but hoping whoever had custody has managed to put him in shape for a sale to someone wanting a flashy, gaited horse.
Also hoping (vainly ) this person gets some of the auction proceeds.
@Annie10 Knowing how smarmy Cereal is, heās more likely to expect payment from whatever charity takes poor old Pete.
We can hope he just needs a tax deduction
Google says the Auction he hooked up with is about as honest as Cereal himself
Can we hope he gets scammed?
Thatās interesting, because I noticed in the āSoldā horses, that so many of them were pictured wearing the same saddle blankets and saddles. And lots of child models as well. Many of the pics appear to be enhanced, or at least the background. No cast shadows etc.
And poor Wounded Warriors. They were hit really hard by a scandal not too long ago. But we know for sure that he would never, ever donate a horse to anyone.
I knew theyād wind up at an auction.
I donāt see him listed yet this morning, but Iām also not unconvinced people havenāt been flooding platinum with negative press that they might not want (especially since they already have a lot of that themselves).
Hoping he just donates Pete to someone that really wants him and doesnāt require payment. Iām sure heās jonesing to get rid of these horses. I wish heād just get Falcon back to his original owner.
Random wild guess that wherever has been keeping the horses has told him to pay up on pasture board, or else they will proceed to claim ownership of the horses. Winter coming on and all, it will take more than just grass to keep the horses going.
So if Falcon gets a high reserve and some shill bidders ⦠eh, not sure that will get him sold to someone actually willing to pay more than the market says heās worth.
What happened to the Netflix documentary that was supposed to make the horses famous? [snide rhetorical question, I know there never will be one, except 'how not to be a scam for money using horses]
Wonder what a thorough PPE would tell us about Falcon. Guessing this auction house isnāt doing one.
Well⦠As itās an Online Auction, maybe they do an online PPE?
