Craigslist mare in need of some serious groceries - Lake City FL - MARE HAS BEEN SOLD

I could chip in if someone gets the mare. Poor girl.

Hard to tell if she is really long necked or if it is just the lack of groceries that makes her look that way…but I could imagine her being a gaited horse, too.

I’ll check back.

I’ll donate $100 if someone gets her.I refuse to look at the ad though.

I can go look at a pasture near me (Green Cove Springs, 1/2 hr south of Jacksonville). Pasture is $200, (with stall and electric for a fan) but I would need some support for her food and vet bills until she gets on her feet.

No response to your email? Uh-oh.[/QUOTE]

She said no response to her FB posting about her plight. I just sent her an email with a couple of innocent (I hope) questions. We are only about an hour from Lake City.

Well, both were correct. Owner hasn’t responded to my email, and last night I hadnt gotten a response on facebook. I’ve since recieved a few comments and shares.

I’ve been advised to call law enforcement. Can they do anything of the horse has feed and water?

No. Please give the owner a chance to respond to me and then we can see. I will send you a pm with my contact info.

For anyone who will take her (yes I know it’s the upkeep expenses and vet bills, not the initial cost), I can either donate a sum of $ upfront, or do as I’ve done for several years with Always Funny, sending $10 a month. If enough people will do this, it will add up. But then people do drop out or have a change of circumstances, etc. So whomever takes the horse might get stuck with her expenses.

So if someone gets her, let me know if you want a one time donation or my monthly dribble of $10 for life of the horse…

This is why I do not look at the craigslist ads. It is too depressing to see the pitiful horses and other animals.

You guys are awesome. Thanks for the offers to help.

Calamber, I got your PM. I’ll wait to see if they responded to either of our emails.

I did go and screen shot both ads and pictures. The original text ad stating “I just had a baby, can’t take care of the horse, she’s getting thin” has been removed or is expired. :frowning:

I don’t know anything about Columbia County AC, but they can’t do anything without an address.

I’ll also chip in a dribble. Will check back to see what is happening …

That’s wonderful…and a good choice on your part though she’s unfortunately not the worst I’ve ever seen.

HAS ANYONE TEXTED ?? Ad says to text Krystal

I didn’t realize there was a phone number listed. Which ad mentions Krystal? I don’t mind texting in the morning, unless Calamber would rather text her?

Hi all, just wanted to update. I texted the owner, and the mare has been sold. Jingles that it was to a good home that will give her the care she needs! Thanks again for the offers to help, you guys are good eggs. :slight_smile:

Thank you for this update - and to everyone who stepped up for her!

Thanks for the update. Hope she ends up somewhere good.
