She just reduced the price on him by half (now $1500), had to pull his shoes because she states she can't afford to keep him shod. Getting very nervous for him, wonder if she would agree to give him to Akindale?
I contacted Akindale- they did contact her, as well as former connections. Fingers crossed!Sparrow Castle wrote:serenassong wrote:serenassong wrote:Fourseventeen is for sale, if I only had the money

This is concerning, especially when she says, "but time is running out." There are so many options for her to give Fourseventeen a good home. Sure hope she doesn't do anything foolish. Wish I could help.
Sounds like she wants the money so she can get her truck fixed. "If not sold within a 2 weeks I'll keep him." Maybe former connections would pay for him. He does look like a happy and healthy boy. Sure hope this works out well for him.serenassong wrote:I contacted Akindale- they did contact her, as well as former connections.

Wow, nice confirmation that you did what you were meant to do. Good job and Godspeed to Fourseventeen!serenassong wrote:A former owner did offer to by him, just under her asking price. She said that a friend of hers was going to take him, and that she could possibly get him back at some point.
Last I saw, she was waiting for a check to clear for the sale. I REALLY hope that he will be ok, will try and keep an eye out on him as best I can. At work today, twice with adding some columns, it totaled 417- I kid you not. I feel good that I did what I could for him, hoping for the best.

It was both heartbreaking, devastating, and alarming – but more importantly, I had absolutely no idea how to solve the problem. He was gone from the equine stratosphere, and no amount of internet or Facebook searches led me to his re-discovery. To compound my grief and disparity, I was tightly linked to his breeder, his race owner, and his trainer. I knew his every connection, and had great respect for each. And yet I knew that if he did resurface, and resurfaced in a less than ideal location, it would be each of them that would catch the heat – not me. More importantly, not the people that put him directly there.

When Rosemary reached out about the horse’s identity, West Point was surprised to find him in such condition, as he had fallen through the cracks after the partnership seemingly secured his retirement.
“He was adopted by a friend of reputable farm owner in Saratoga. So saddened to hear somebody could do this to such a special horse,” West Point posted on its social media outlets.
West Point plans to assume the costs associated with King Congie’s care.
“We’re adopting him, and he’ll be picked up in a few days. He’ll have a great life,” West Point said.
Thanks for posting this, Sparrow Castle. Another close call and a very lucky horse. Seems like just yesterday we were watching him run against Shackleford in the 2011 Preakness. Thank you to West Point and the people that care about him - and the best of luck to King Congie from here on out...Sparrow Castle wrote:King Congie saved from slaughterhouseMore: http://www.drf.com/news/king-congie-sav ... ghterhouseKing Congie last raced in April 2012, and following a career-ending injury, West Point provided surgery to assure his quality of life as a retiree.

Two months after being rescued from a dire neglect case in Mercer County on a farm leased by trainer Maria Borell and her father, the six horses entrusted to the inmates at the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation’s Blackburn Correctional Facility are thriving.
While many of them still have months to go in their recovery, each of the six being cared for at the Lexington, Kentucky TRF farm has put on between 100-200 pounds and appear to be happy and in good health.
http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/ ... -ownershipBesides the Borells, four other parties have come forward to claim ownership in five of the horses after the Office of the State Veterinarian posted photos and information on the horses in its database on stray and abandoned horses. Those parties are permitted to intervene in the suit to claim ownership or interest in the horses.
Other owners who have claimed ownership or ownership interests include Gersen Racing (Princess Megan, Valerio, and an unnamed 3-year-old Offlee Wild male out of Princess Megan.) Jack "Trey" Willoughby III and Randy Polley claim ownership interests in Sheza Fun Sponge. Joshua Mentzer claims an ownership interest in an unnamed 4-year-old filly out of Bald N Blue, by Colonel John.
