RugbyGirl, hope you’re okay if you’re in the area affected by the earthquakes.

Thank you. We are fine. I am just south of Auckland but a hour away from the coast so felt the earthquakes but wasn't affected by the tsnuami evacuation and business as usual where I am!

Waiting to see what happens with this. Supposedly arrangements have been made to bail him, and old friends has offered him a spot but when the people trying to rescue him contacted the feed lot about this they were told he'd been sold to a higher bidder

The Deputy last bred 2 mares in Iowa in 2019, resulting in no live foals. PQ says he was last standing at Rockin River Ranch in Iowa.

We need to start taking names and shaming these people.

2018. Who knows what happened in 3 years. I mean they could have found him, what they thought was a soft spot, then those people sold him. He could have changed hands multiple times or it could have been that farm. The thing is, we'll most likely never know who sent him there because kill pens refuse to release that info. And even if it was the farm, no matter if its truth or lie, they'll say they gave him to a good home or something.

Edit to add, this was posted in maggimoss's twitter:

Hasn't been in Iowa for 4 years..He hasn't stood at Rockin River for 5 years, was sold to a women in Southern Iowa, not a TB person, a QH breeder that was using him to breed barrel horses. What I was told, he was getting harder for her to handle and she sold him to a guy in TX ..

So he left Rockin River in 2017, went somewhere else, that lady was breeding barrel horses. Then she sold him to Texas, that is still 3-4 years ago. Who knows what happened in those 3-4 years. This is why you can't blame and shame if you don't know who owned the horse. The people YOU are trying to shame haven't even owned the horse for 4+ years.

I know. It's just that as years progress there are less and less excuses for this other than carelessness and greed (making one last buck from selling to slaughter). In a perfect world no horse would be slaughtered, but for now it is especially tragic when a stallion, broodmare, or stakes horse gets tossed to the wayside.

And I also know that good hearted people can be taken advantage of. The horse rescue in my area recently posted to FB that they received a tip about someone going around with a trailer offering to take unwanted horses.

But who do you think is to blame? The original farm in Kentucky where he stood for 5 years, the farm in Michigan where he stood for 7 years, the farm in Ohio where he stood for a year, the farm in Iowa where he stood for 2-3 years, the next owner who owned him for less than a year, the next owner, who knows how many owners after the Texas guy?

The sad truth is, there aren't enough homes for all the horses out there and most people aren't willing to take on a stallion. Sure someone along the way could have said, "hey we can find him a home, because of who he is. Maybe Old Friends would take him or help find him a spot." But that is assuming they know who he is, what he did and that they actually cared.

There are so many stories of people finding horses good homes and then something happens and they rehome to what they think is a good home, blah blah blah. Then the horse somehow ends up in a kill pen. I mean Adena had(maybe still has) an excellent retraining, rehoming program, doing everything right, checking the prospective new owners, etc. It didn't stop one of their horses from being slaughtered. Or that "rescue" who just took people's money and killed the horses anyway. Owners/breeders/trainers have put their contact information on horse's registration saying if they ever need a home to contact them, still doesn't stop it. Also whatever the story was when Zenyatta's 1/2 brother ended up in a kill pen, starving to death.

I just don't think some people realize that maybe the owner truly does need the money from selling the horse and I'm sure they don't want the horse to go to slaughter but they don't have the option to give it away free. Is it greed if selling the horse feeds their family or helps them keep the power/heat on in their home? Of course it could be that the horse in dangerous, that something happened to the owner and the family is getting rid of the horses, or they simply don't care. There is always a lot of things that could cause the end effect of a horse ending up in a kill pen. I know people are struggling financially all over because of covid still. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of horses at kill pens is increasing.

In the perfect world, horse slaughter wouldn't happen. But it would also be great if there was someplace that offered to give the owner some money at least to help them out if they need it but they'd get taken advantage of by the scumbags. Like how kill buyers buy horses they know will be popular and then charge bailouts way higher than the horse is worth to the slaughterhouse.
