Chet- 25+yr.old- 15.3hh - TB Gelding
Post by cybercat on Nov 10, 2006, 11:13pm

~~~ Per Heidi 11/13, Chet is at High Risk for the truck ~~~

Chet - 25+ Tattooed 15.3 TB gelding. Chet didn't appear to be 25+ but he was missing a few teeth and it was hard to determine exactly his age. He was easy to catch and handle on the ground. Chet has really nice smooth gaits and is responsive to leg and rein pressure. He plow reins, backs, and stops nicely. Chet would be a nice confidence builder!

It's hard to imagine he's that old, look how well he moves and his body is still is realtively good shape. What a shame, I'll bet he was a rock-star racer in his day.

It's funny, I was just noticing he seems to have no white on him at all, and it's so unusual, it's kinda special. I sure hope he's your uncle's old race horse and will get reunited!
If he's tatooed, can't the past owners be traced by the numbers and see if the uncle was an owner?
Can the brand inspector be alerted about this, to hold him back til it can be checked?

Re: Chet- Needs $500 - HIGH RISK
Post by NanciK on Nov 15, 2006, 8:34am

kcp - I know it's frustrating, but I'm thinking that Heidi has made it a priority to answer inquiries from potential adoopters first, over your question about white on the face.

Now, if you asked Heidi about the white AND said that you wanted to adopt Chet, she might be motivated to get an answer for you.

Quite honestly, I wouldn't want Heidi running to the feedlot to check for white hairs when she could be working out a deal to get Chet adopted. See what I'm saying?

I apologize in advance if Chet having white hairs means YOU WILL ADOPT HIM? Sorry, I didn't get that from your posts.

If he is my uncles' old racehorse then YES He is coming home where he belongs. My uncle died so suddenly, and I didn't get a chance to find out where his horses had gone. I watch almost every race with Bubbsa at Longacres. I have to have him back if it is Bubbsa. No question, I will bring him home if it is~~Only problem is I would need a short loan to adopt him , I am waiting on a large accident settlement, and until then I don't have much extra money, just lots of love, feed, and room!!

I've had this problem in the past with emailing various PS. More often than not it turned out that spam filtering or some other email related issue was occurring and they were not seeing any of my emails. I have 4 different email accounts and when sending email to a PS I have to sit down and determine which email account has actually managed to get email to the particular PS before I send anything to them. So please keep in mind if you get no response whatsoever to an email that the PS may have never seen it and that another means of contact may be necessary.

Re: Chet- Needs $500 - HIGH RISK
Post by jenm on Nov 15, 2006, 10:44am

Thoroughbred Tattoos always start with the year of birth's letter
designation (each year is assigned a letter) followed by the year
of birth (99 for example) followed by the last five digits of their
Jockey Club registration number.

Here are the letters:

X 1968
Y 1969
Z 1970
A 1971
B 1972
C 1973
D 1974
E 1975
F 1976
G 1977
H 1978
I 1979
J 1980
K 1981
L 1982
M 1983
N 1984
O 1985
P 1986
Q 1987
R 1988
S 1989
T 1990
U 1991
V 1992
W 1993
X 1994
Y 1995
Z 1996
A 1997
B 1998
C 1999
D 2000
E 2001
F 2002
G 2003


So a horse born in 1997 who has been tattoed (not all TBs are tattooed -
generally just those that go to the track, train and have been entered
in a race - but this varies by racing jurisdiction) would possibly have
the tattoo number A12345 (A = alpha designation for horses born in 1997;
97 = actual year of birth; 12345 = horse's registration #). Sometimes
these can be hard to read depending on the age of the horse (like
human tattos, they fade with age) and how good the tattoo person was.

To find out more about a horse via his/her tattoo, call the Jockey Club
at 1-800-333-1778 or check their website at www.equineonline.com
or www.jockeyclub.com. They generally charge a fee for any research.

I hope to god that he doesn't, but I am waiting on word from Sam and the crew. If someone is willing to give this guy a home, Please don't let me stop you!! If it is Bubbsa, and someone else adopts him, that's fine with me, just as long as I get to visit!!

Contact his PS and ask them!
If he's too much horse for a beginner, then someone like Glory or the new grey might be better.

But From the looks of it, most of the horses are still needing money and homes. Maybe I just took your post the wrong way, but to be honest, I am hurt.



I didn't mean this as a personal attack kcp. Something about him reminds be of Adam. I was thinking about anyone of us would have done to save Adam from the truck and that this boy might meet the same fate while we are waiting form the outcome of this story.

Modified to add: Go beejoyful! Heidi called him a "confidence builder."

I know that it sounds like crap waiting on a tattoo, but I have been searching for SO long for this horse. I lost my uncle, and all his horses in 1991 when he died. If it wasn't for him and those horses, I don't think I would be alive right now. That is why this is so important to me. BUT I CAN'T STRESS IT ENOUGH, IF SOMEONE WANTS HIM, PLEASE ADOPT HIM!! IF IT IS BUBSA, I WILL BE FINE WITH IT AS LONG AS I HAVE VISITING RIGHTS!!

[beejoyfulmk]

Hi all
We got him home on 12/15/06 the day before my b-day....so all day (16) we played,loved ,huged and brushed. What a dream guy, sweet ,calm and such a looker!!!!
We changed his name to Royal Reign.
His feet have been done and vet check,teeth ect. All looks super, now just needs some fat and a buff body and that has already started to happen. I'm planning to bring him to the mane event.

[NanciK]

Funny, I was just thinking about Chet, thanks for the update, we can't wait for pictures, of course!

[beejoyfulmk]

We think he maybe @ 17-20 he still has all his back teeth and acts much younger then the 25+, anyway just lov him so sweet and after he's up in weight, the ride starts!!!!! ya

[beckybee]

I'm so glad you got him, bee - I was worried he would be lost due to a mistaken identity. I'd love to see some recent pictures!

[beejoyfulmk]

He is already starting to get a tummy

[beejoyfulmk]

wow what a doll he is ,so calm and easy going he has put on @ 100lb and starting to get a butt and a nice coat. we did find out he's a cribber sooooooo off to the feed store for a new fun (hehe) collar. I kinda felt bad for the guy like the new kid with headgear.

[wendyp]

Hi Joan,

You might try something that my holistic vet recommended - okay this is for ulcers, but there is some indication that horses crib to relieve ulcers, so if you treat the ulcers the cribbing could stop.............no guarantees, but worth a try.......... The product is called DRAW, and you should be able to get it from your vet, or you can order it online at from [e-mail] . It is not labeled for internal consumption, but my vet had me feed it to Kasey....the ingredients are all natural, and eastern medicine vets have been using it successfully for several years............

I hate to see horses in the cribbing collars......seems so uncomfortable.....................

WendyP/Bend, OR

[beckybee]

Any new pictures? I bet he cleans up nice!

[beejoyfulmk]

that boy is so sweet , and very much part of my herd. Fallowed me all around yesterday for loves, every time I tried to pet Buck(new one) Royal was right there to make sure he's still my boy! I know I have to find a way to get the photos up.

[beejoyfulmk]

Hi, thanks wendy for the info I'm see my vet today and will get some for my funny man....he looks so sad with collar on.

[halfwayhome]

You can tell exactly how old he is by reading the first letter of his tattoo, please see the chart above to know what year each letter means that the horse was born.

[beejoyfulmk]

Hi halfway, We looked at the tat and its to far gone to read....s334 or 5334 really not sure can I still have the j club try to find him?
On a happy happy note my trainner was working him today and she asked if I would like to ride him.......HECK YES it was magic and he was a perfect gentleman!

[halfwayhome]

They always start with a letter and if its an "S" then he is a 1989 which makes him 18 this year!

[beejoyfulmk]

My boy has been home with us since sun the 4th and what a nice boy, I can hardly waite to have them all here!!!! ;D ;D

[jenm]

Thanks for letting us know how much fun you are having, bjf! There are photo posting instructions in the FAQ section at the top of the board. Let us know if you would like some assistance. You know how photo hungry we are around here!

[beejoyfulmk]

Hi all we where at the mane event and had some GREAT trainning from Champs mom, wow she is wonderful (thanks J) now Royal stands and waites for ME to go through the gate...not draging me behinde.

[jtjedi]

Yipppeee! So glad to hear that Royal is behaving himself! Keep up the good work, Joan, and he will get even better.

When you are ready for more, let me know, and I will come up to GF and help.

JT

[beejoyfulmk]

that would be fab!!!!

[beejoyfulmk]

Hi all,
The boy is looking really good now a few more lbs@ 50 and he will be good to go for a ride!!! With the flex seed each morning his coat and mane are coming in very shiny. Next thing he;ll want a mint on his pillow.....

[atticus]

I need some pics of Mr. Royal!! I bet he looks great. Great job!

[beckybee]

Are we EVER gonna see pictures of this guy? C'mon - he's one of my favorites! Please?!?!?

[beejoyfulmk]

ok working on photos...

[agilitygal]

Pictures? Oh, good idea.

[beejoyfulmk]

Its been 1 year with this blessing, what a joy. I belive this is my soul horse, just something about this guy..........

[NanciK]

Joan, can we get some pictures please??

[rescuestoribbons]

YES!! Pictures are always nice!
