I think he is old and arthritic.[/QUOTE]
Interesting. I was involved with this case and I don’t recall that he was over-the-top arthritic…but maybe my memory is foggy.

Ah, well done then. Thank you for sharing that. The Justice for DP group has shades of Chromie about them and thats nothing but a cancer.[/QUOTE]
Lot of scary people/mindsets in the Justice for DP page, that’s for sure. Back when the story broke, I remember them advocating illegal trespassing on property, illegal seizure of animals, violence against people. :no: Sure, there’s some well-meaning people, but definitely a lot of nutjobs.
I just wonder if it is telling, that he is laying down in the photo.
Hope they have a warm winter there, and it is soothing to his old bones.
Found the answer.

Is Dual Peppy the same horse as Mister Dual Pep?
Or are they full brothers with similar names?
Dual Peppy was foaled in 1992 correct? He is 23 yrs old?[/QUOTE]
Dual Pep, Dual Peppy, Dually Pep, and Mister Dual Pep are all full brothers. Peppy San Badger X Miss Dual Doc
1985, 1992, 1995, and 1993 respectively.

That’s what was so confusing, 4 horses with the same parents and such similar names.
I fail to understand why placing the horse with someone who has known him for years and has the financial wherewithal to care for him properly is such a horrible ending.

Me either. It sounds like another SAVE THE HORSIE moment into his FOREVER HOME when in fact the adopter felt that he needed care and a facility that she couldn’t give. Someone who knew and cherished the horse in his prime, and with experience with retired breeding stallions, is ideal.
And if he does turn out to be fertile again and healthy, there’s nothing wrong with breeding him. He’s a good horse. I’m glad that it sounds like they’re realistic about his health and prospects, but those kinds of restrictions make little sense to me, and the cry to have him gelded even less.
That main ring article is lovely. He is a very lucky horse.

I know nothing about this horse, but if he has arthritis issues, and three full brothers, maybe breed the siblings who are healthier. It’s not like we’re talking rare bloodlines.
