Transporting older horse « Result #1 on Mar 16, 2006, 10:34am »
Hi, I'd like to take my horse with me when I move back to Arizona from eastern NC. He's an 18 yo QH in very good health (knock on wood). Is this too old to ship that far?
I'd rather him be healthy than risk him having problems with the shipping.
I've never shipped a horse of my own that far. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hemptastic - TB gelding (Ontario) « Result #2 on Jan 28, 2006, 10:48pm »
Check out the trot on this boy! He is sound and has no "issues" but is a high energy boy who needs a good rider and a job to do. He is coming 11 this spring and stands about 15.2 hh. He has jumped and is started on basic dressage.

Could this mare be any prettier? You'd never know she was almost 29 years old. "Bria" worked many years as a race horse and then a riding lesson horse. Now she needs a real retirement in a loving home.
Dancing Proud - registered TB mare (Ontario) « Result #4 on Jan 28, 2006, 10:42pm »
This mare had fourteen registered foals including a winner of nearly $500,000! She has more than earned a retirement home and it is sad that the people she made money for did not choose to provide that to her.
Penny Andy, 15.3 TB mare - Wisconsin « Result #5 on Jan 28, 2006, 10:37pm »
She's the chestnut mare on the right. My last knowledge of her was that she was at a hunter-jumper barn in Mequon, Wisconsin about 8-10 years ago. Her registered name is Penny Andy. She is very sweet, but doesn't always tie and may flip over if tied. She is extremely comfortable to ride. I would be more than happy to provide a paid, safe retirement home for this mare if she breaks down for riding and needs one. She had some hock arthritis so I suspect that is becoming more pronounced with age. She would be 23 years old this year.
U.P. Michigan - Woody, 15.2 TB gelding « Result #6 on Jan 28, 2006, 10:33pm »
We gave this boy away to Theresa or Therese who had a last name beginning with R in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in 1997. If he is still alive, he would be 31 now, so I doubt it but we would like to know about the rest of his life. Theresa is married, I believe she worked as a public school librarian, and she had one son who was born around 1993. She and her hubby lived on a 40 acre farm. If you know her and can put me in touch, we'd really appreciate hearing about Woody.
Cashton is (was) a 16.2 h, solid chestnut, Irish/French TB gelding. He would be ~20 yrs old now, I think. I owned him while living in WI. Sold him around 1992. No, I don't remember who bought him.
If he's out there and able to travel to coastal NC. I want him back. I owe him a good retirement.
Any leads would be great. Even if the news is bad
Thanks!

Action needed NOW - contact USDA « Result #10 on Jan 26, 2006, 2:40pm »
(Information provided by the Humane Society of the United States)
From Humane Society of the United States:
I am writing because U.S. Department of Agriculture might put all of your hard work to save horses from slaughter at risk, and we desperately need your help.
We had a remarkable year for horses during 2005. With help from dedicated advocates like you, we:
Convinced the U.S. House of Representatives to pass an amendment by a landslide vote of 269-158 to prevent the use of tax dollars to promote horse slaughter. Then we secured a big 69-28 vote in the Senate in favor of an identical amendment. Finally, when it appeared that the conference committee might remove the horse slaughter language entirely, we worked together again to ensure that the ban stayed in the final bill (with an added 120-day delay for implementation). We all celebrated these tremendous victories as the year closed, anticipating that on March 10, 2006, horse slaughter in America would stop for the remainder of the year, paving the way for more progress and a permanent ban.
But now, the horse slaughter ban is in danger again and we need your help to save it!
Never did we imagine that the USDA, an administrative agency charged with carrying out Congress' will, might betray Congress and the Americans they represent. But it appears that the agency might try to side-step this new law by finding a way to continue inspections of horses for slaughter, and thereby continue its involvement with the cruel and un-American horse slaughter industry. The USDA is seriously considering a petition submitted by the foreign-owned slaughter plants that would create a whole new manner of paying for horse slaughter, an effort that directly undermines Congress' mandate.
Tell the USDA to respect the will of Congress and enforce the slaughter ban.
Americans don't eat horsemeat -- there simply is no domestic demand for it. But last year, more than 90,000 American horses were either killed in one of three foreign-owned slaughterhouses in the United States or shipped to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. Our thoroughbreds, show horses, mustangs, carriage horses, and family ponies are shipped in inhumane conditions and butchered.
This new development means that the thousands of horses who were to be spared are again at grave risk. We cannot let this happen. Take action today to help stop USDA from engaging in this inhumane slaughter for export.
1. Take action. Contact USDA Secretary Johanns and urge him to shut down this illegal and undemocratic usurpation of Congress' authority. Click link below to contact USDA now.
2. Spread the word. The USDA needs to hear from as many Americans as possible. Ask your friends and family to contact them as well. Click here to tell five friends to take action now.Knowing that thousands of our loyal and trusted companions have already been Slaughtered is simply devastating. Please, stand with us and do everything you can to spare the lives of our horses. Together, we will stop this horrible practice.
Sincerely,
Wayne Pacelle President & CEO The Humane Society of the United States
