Popeye is a kind older gelding. His owner tried to sell him on Craigs list unsuccessfully & finally sold him to the FLO..He has been used as a cart horse, hunting, trails, packing & even riding lessons.. he neck reins, backs, moves off your leg & moves out nicely. He traveled sound at the lot. He will make someone a GREAT horse. He has the most beautiful bushy tail..I can hardly wait to get it brushed out & braided for a new adopter. This is a nice horse. Popeye has one cloudy blue eye, previous owners said he has had that for years & it has never bothered him. While we were at the lot it had no effect on his performance. FOR MORE PICS: www.columbiabasinequinerescue.org/DEF-HorsesProfile.asp?HoID=1014HOME OFFERS:PLEDGES MADE:$ 50.00 Swissgirl $ 40.00 Paintedlady TOTAL BAIL STILL NEEDED: $470.00

Maybe the person who turned down Roper for her child could look at this horse? This is, from what I've seen so far, a rare opportunity to know a feedlot horse's history more in depth. For those not in rescue, that's an even bigger plus, especially for people looking for a sound, healthy horse such as you could buy from a person, but who are looking to rescue a horse, instead.

Another trusting, kind-hearted soul. I totally do not understand how he could end up here in a slaughter pen.

AWE, I love him, he is gorgeous. So sad that he ended up there. I hope he can find the perfect family for him.

Hi mini mom, I haven't heard for sure when Popeye will ship...but the reality is that any horse on any feedlot is at risk to be shipped without notice. Also these horses are subjected to illnesses and injuries caused by other fearful and aggressive horses... As you learn about this board and the feedlots, you will find that getting those horses off the lot as fast as possible is the only way...We often have to scramble to find homes when we hear that a truck is scheduled. We don't actually bail a horse out of the feedlot unless there is a place for the horse to go...a sad necessity. Are you possibly interested in adopting Popeye? If you are, download a CBER adoption application from their website and fill it out. It takes a while to process the information...and you'd have to supply photos of your facilities. Even if Popeye is not the one for you (and I fall in love on a regular basis with these horses...) its a very good idea to have an approved adoption application on file with CBER, so you can step up to give a deserving horse a home. The Placement Specialist for Popeye is Shawna (aka leosolis on this board)... Her email is: tufnspendy@aol.com Shawna will have the most current info on Popeye and also may be able to tell you if a truck has been scheduled for this particular feedlot. She is the person to go to for this information. I'd love to talk minis with you sometime...I own three... Leanne
