Yeah, but “some time” can mean different things.
The mixup supposedly happened in September- that’s more than enough time for him to lease the horse to another farm or rider, prior to the horse going to Gulfport (where he showed with the rider mentioned on the resolution page)
[QUOTE=half seat;3942606]
I interpret that section of the “Horses Sold” to mean that the horse was leased TO the rider at Resolution Farm by McClain Ward. That’s all, not that the lease was up. The horse is still showing with that rider. Their results are listed on the Resolution Farm web site. I don’t think that post in the horses sold section means that the lease is up or the horse is no longer at that farm.[/QUOTE]
You might be right. I would have thought though, if they still had the horse, he wouldn’t be listed on the “sold” page. You might be right.
[QUOTE=80s rider;3942602]
Did McClain think his horses TEETH grew back? Someone must have noticed that![/QUOTE]
Just to lighten the mood…
Don’t you know you never look a gift horse in the mouth, 80’s rider? 
Just glad to here there seems to be a solid lead here. I’m going to wait until Patrick is able to say more before I say anything else.

And as I have said before the horse is competing and doing well which means he is being taken care of, is healthy, sound, in the US and unfortunately just the brunt of a big mixup or scam.
All I know is that I hope the threads get unravelled and everyone gets back the horse they should have-- and that the horses are no worse for wear.
It sure is a FUNNY coincidence, no? I mean, commercial shippers much haul boatloads of plain bay TBs back and forth from sales, and somehow manage not to switch them up all the time?! Nobody, no groom, no rider, NOBODY noticed that the Kanye horse seemed different?!
So is the mystery horse that showed up in place of Good Guinness actually the real Kanye?
That’s too funny!! Exactly waht I was thinking.
So is the Imposter horse really Kanye?? Someone really needs to talk to Maclain Ward!
That’s what I’m really interested to hear about.
WAS there a Kanye on the van with Guinny. That’s the question of the hour, I think.

There are only two Kanye’s registered with the USEF, the other one seems to have an extensive show record in the A/O - Junior hunters to Regular Workings. At one time owned by Don Stewart. I am thinking Kanye just appeared and the imposter horse was just a poor sole that looked like him and could jump a reasonable height. Probably a horse the Wards wanted to get rid of or someone swapped on a trade. I doubt anyone is looking for that horse. Sorry to say that but just a hunch. I hope this gets resolved, people need to be honest, it would solve so many of the worlds problems!!!
According to thehorse.com, the imposter horse has been identified.
‘Imposter’ Horse Identified in Missing Jumper Case
by: Liz Brown
March 12 2009, Article # 13770
A horse that was purported to be missing Irish Sport Horse Good Guinness has been identified as a horse named Con Air. This horse was imported from Holland in 2004, according to New Jersey trainer Frank Madden, who received Con Air in place of Good Guinness last September.
“That’s all we know at this point,” said Madden said.
California-based trainer Patrick Seaton said he shipped Good Guinness to Madden last fall, in hopes the horse would sell on the East Coast. However, a different horse was delivered to Madden as Good Guinness.
The switch only came to light last week, when Seaton went to check on Good Guinness at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Fla.
Since distributing a flyer about the missing horse, Seaton says he has received several suggestions.
“We have a few leads, and we’re following up on them,” Seaton said.
…so… how did GG turn into Kanye?
[QUOTE=ComeAbout;3942490]
Notify Mclain Ward?! Are you CRAZY?! Time is of the essence here. A trapped animal is a dangerous animal… “Kanye’s” very existence relies on swift and immediate action by the proper authorities. This isn’t a just a little game of cat and mouse. The players in this scenario are not newbies. Since Patrick has indeed been informed, lets everyone just wait and hope that it’s not too late already![/QUOTE]
Holy Cow, let’s unsaddle the drama llamas. IF this is the same horse, it appears to be in the posession of a lessee. IF there is a sneaky deal going on here, it is all over the Internet and offing the horse would not be a wise choice.

who’s the owner of Con Air?
Sorry Midge but I disagree. Until this is figured out and GG is found and safely with his owners, his safety is a concern.
How can it be “in possesion of a lessee” if it is competing in Amateur Owner classes?
[QUOTE=Roulett;3942681]

The irony of that name…
Is there a three way switch (in which case, the person who thinks they have Con Air has Kanye-- unbeliveable that 3 people haven’t noticed not entirely subtle differences between horses) OR is Kanye actually Con Air renamed (or they never showed him as Con Air, just as Kanye?)

They are Jr / AO classes. Is it possible the rider is a junior?

GG/Kanye was being ridden by a junior in low junior/ao jumpers
