Unbelievable! From FHI to slaughter rescue!!

:smiley: LOL !!! Maybe I should send her a bike! Better be a tricycle! I would hate for her to fall off and have the thing crushed at the junk yard!!! :mad:

Best of luck with him! He looks like a lovely boy!

He’s so fancy! Keep us posted on his progress. Thank you again for rescuing him.

It wouldn’t bother me so much if she did that to … a bike! :rolleyes:

You two look really nice together!

He’s too handsome!

Thanks to you guys for rescuing this horse. sometimes it is the most willing and sensitive horses that are the most misunderstood.

26?

He’s 26? Looks like a very nice horse, but… he’s 26? and someone was not only competing him but abusing him and then dumped him, because he was being difficult and she’d moved him up a level too soon? at age 26? Or was that business about the tattoo in an earlier post saying that the tattoo had been misread and it would make him 26, but he’s not?

Just confused. Great that he’s been rescued and will have a happier life from now on. Lovely looking horse.

No… he is not 26. When I got him off the trailer and looked at his tattoo, it appeared to be a J, which would make him 26. It is a really bad tattoo! I checked his teeth and did some more tattoo deciphering, and he is indeed, 8 years old (B). It scared me for a short while, and he was less than please to have me examining his lip every 10 minutes! I made up for it with lots of carrots and he has forgiven me!!! :winkgrin:

He is so cute!

What a nice looking guy! Thank you for saving him from a terrible end. I don’t know how rescuers deal with the various cr@p they see. Hats off to you.

How is Castaway/Wilson doing?

He is doing very well! He did manage to get into a mess of fire ants yesterday, and is one big ā€œouchy/itchyā€ hive this morning… so will have a few days off to recover from that… be he has been nothing short of wonderful since he arrived :yes:

He is absolutely loffly and I can’t begin to tell you how glad I am that he has found an equally loffly home.

It really is true that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, isn’t it…

A plague upon the prior owner. May her equestrian career be destroyed!!!

Bounce may you have a ton of fun and success with him. You deserve it.

May Karma catch up with she who dumped this guy sooner than later. Or may she see the errors of her ways and start her own rescue org. We could use more saints out there looking out for the poor dumped ones.

Bounce, I am thrilled for both of you! You and Wilson already make a fabulous team.

Congratulations and good luck to bounce!

Reading this pissed me off beyond belief but I am very relieved to hear of the happy outcome.

continued good luck!

I was thinking about this thread and would love an update, almost two years later. Did Wilson ever make it back to the show ring? Did his ex-owner get another horse?

Me, too! I saw this thread revived and hoped it was because there was an update on it. Let’s hear how Wilson is doing!:yes:

Update!!

I loved this thread (seems like just yesterday) … I hope he’s still doing well :slight_smile:

I saw this thread back up again, and wondered if someone else saw the article about Bev/MAHR in the Breeding & Racing section of the Horse of Delaware Valley, telling of the rescue of a former PHBA 2yr old champion racehorse from the NY kill pens.

Any updates on that horse Bev?
