Tolo (CBER Splendor)

SPLENDOR
Post by mickeyfan3 on Mar 1, 2007, 5:41pm

3 - 5 year old, 15.2h, bay TB gelding. This young friendly horse has just returned from FLO QT. The photos are taken at the FLO QT facility. He had strangles and is now healthy.

When he first arrived at the lot he was lame but when we saw him at the QT facility today he was trotting and galloping playfully around sound. He does have a large right hind ankle but it does not appear to be causing him problems. Due to the largeness of his ankle we are suggesting a vet exam to determine his riding suitability. He is very friendly and though he is not haltered he would not be hard to halter train or start due to his friendly and curious nature.

I know, I just want to grab his cheeks and give him a big kiss!

Well....only problem is he's too big to pass for a Labrador and hubby's finally taking an interest in finances after 16 years.....so how do I explain the double board bill?? I promised to pay down those pesky bills....anyone have winning lotto?

Seriously though - Sam said that Splendor was was following them all over the place both at the QT pasture and at the lot. He's really curious and friendly and should be easy to start.

Thank you to EVERYONE who donated! Proof that the "Barbaro Effect" is alive and well.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You may post my comment. A horse named Terryn from this very same feedlot is alive and well in my backyard because of Bobby. Like many other people I also check the Tim Woolley board many times every day. Terryn came home almost two weeks to the day after Bobby left. She has done more to dry my tears than anything else. Thank you to all the Fans of Barbaro from the bottom of my heart for saving Splendor and all the others.

I forgot to say earlier that I'm so happy to learn about Terryn. It sounds as though she has been a comfort and a blessing to you. Yes, the spirit of Barbaro is certainly alive. His legacy continues with each and every horse's life that is saved. I'm very glad to know that you, too, visit the Tim Woolley board. Are you a regular poster or a lurker? If you're a poster, let me know...I'll be sure to say hello!

All my best to you and Terryn.

Hi Deb.
I am SO overjoyed to learn that Splendor is off the lot and at your farm!!! I hardly have the words to express how happy I am that this beautiful boy is going to now be given a chance at life! He so deserves a happy, loving home, as do all horses...and animals, for that matter! Thank you so much for everything you are doing for precious Splendor. I am truly overwhelmed and grateful. I would also like to thank all of my fellow FOBs for their generous donations that got Splendor off the lot! I've never been so proud in my life as I am to be associated with such an amazing, compassionate group of people.

Thank you again.

Yay! The bail, $675.00+, is paid for Slendor. He is now in a foster care home now? Now what? Adoption? Since his bail is paid, is Splendor FREE to a good home? Of course, there must be some fees and background checks to adopt him. We need to now find him a home! Information PLEASE.

Hi there, dawnlight...welcome to our board! Thanks for asking about Splendor...
at the moment he is in quarantine at Deb's house...QT takes anywhere from a few weeks to around 3 months or so, depending on if the horse gets sick from exposure to feedlot germs and how long the recovery process takes...
I have not been in touch with the CBER folks for a few days, but for the latest info on Splendor, why don't you send an email directly to Deb Logstrom since she is caring for him.

Her email addy is: [e-mail]

I believe that there's at least one adoption application in on Splendor but Deb or Stacie(mickeyfan3) will have more current info than I do at this point...I'll send off my own email to CBER today as well, so we will soon have new info to share...

Are you thinking of filling out an adoption application? I do not know where you live, but CBER horses have been adopted all over the country and into Canada, so transport can always be worked out...Once again, welcome to our board, and thank you for caring about the horses!

Leanne (cybercat)

Wanted to make sure and add that since his bail has been met his new adopter will not need to pay for him again.

All of the horses recently bailed will be available on gift contracts. Of course they will need to be approved to adopt.

I think it would be great if we could find someone from the TW board to give him a home:)

Re: SPLENDOR (TB Geld.)- SAFE AND OFF THE LOT!!!
Post by mickeyfan3 on Mar 8, 2007, 4:35pm
Although this group of 4 horses may be going on gift contract, please remember that if you CAN pay the fees, it goes to help pay for the continued care and feeding of the horses under "CBER Sponsored" that have not yet found their new home! Some find homes much quicker than others, and those that don't still need to receive feed, care, medical, and farrier services.

CBER does not always see this much financial support, and without it, horses that aren't bailed directly from the lot with a firm, approved home offer would still be shipping.

Interested parties would still need to apply via the regular process and be approved before the horse can be placed with them.

Re: SPLENDOR (TB Geld.)- SAFE AND OFF THE LOT!!!
Post by mainecoonfan on Mar 8, 2007, 6:49pm
Just wanted to let everyone know, I have been spreading the word that Splendor needs a good forever home. A friend of mine got back to me, and said that a co-worker's sister MIGHT be interested in him. I emailed my friend CBER's website address today so that she could forward it on to the interested party. Let's hope this is a solid lead. This interested party lives within hours of where Splendor currently is, so it would be a short trip for Splendor, which would be less stressful. I remain cautiously optimistic as I'm not trying to get my hopes up this early on. It would be so wonderful if Splendor were to find a home much sooner than later though. I'll keep you posted on this.

Then you will need to have the picture hosted (snapfish photobucket and so on.. )
Then if you click on reply or new thread it will give you a new window with fancier buttons to click. One of them is a picture click that and then insert the picture address in between the [ img ] and the [ /img ]

YAY! That is great news rescuestoribbons! I'm so glad he's going to work out for you...keep those stories coming!

[rescuestoribbons]

Pictures will be posted once I can get my hands on my moms camera!

[rescuestoribbons]

Sorry for the long wait, here they are!! I have not gotten any from the last 3 weeks because of his injury but these are right before then!
Tolo following me in the arena!


Looking at the dog next door


Posing for a picture, he is SOOOO handsome!


And here are some pictures after his FIRST trim, he has since had another one! They are starting to look like hooves now!


one more comming!


I hope to post more updates as Tolo can see sunshine once again (stall rest )
I want to thank Kidznhorses for making this possible for me and him! You all have done so much for these horses and it really shows THANK YOU ;D

[kidznhorses]

He looks AWESOME Tarra! Great job! Such a pretty boy! And his hooves are looking so much better. How is his injury coming along?

[rescuestoribbons]

His wounds are healing nicely and we are hoping that he will be able to go in a small paddock outside within the next week or so, he is really gaining trust in people and is doing great with his meds. He will be hurting again for a couple days soon because we are getting his wolf teeth pulled.... butte should do a great job with that though!! Thanks again! ;D

[lilypondfarm]

He is looking good and is so friendly! Tarra is doing great with him! ;D

[rescuestoribbons]

He is isnt he!! I know what can I say I am a Horse whisperer!! Just kidding, he is in a stall so he is easy to socialize!! hehe I am taking advantage of him, it works!

[rescuestoribbons]

Updates/pictures of Tolo will be posted today hopefully! I am taking camera to barn to get pictures of him lunging and just being his good ole self!

[rescuestoribbons]

So...... Today we took Tolo on his first trail ride! Not riding of course but we ponied him, and he was the BEST one out of the three we took! The other ones are school horses too!! The horse that we ponied him off of was being a little twit, and was prancing and dancing and flicking his head every where! And Tolo just kept walking kinda starting at him like he was some sort of alien! lol.... the other horses spooked at a construction sign and even jumped into him and he didnt care one bit! He was a true STAR!
Also last week we had our very first long lining lesson! He did what we expected at first which was to buck and kick because something was on his back legs which he is not to fond about, after about 10 mintutes he settled in and did some walking and trotting with both lines! He is such a good boy!

Ok, so here are some more recent pictures of my man! I am hoping and prayin I will be on him within the next week or so because I have to go to my dads for 1 week starting Sunday! He also just got front shoes on for the first time!! He was a DOLL! So good and so unconcerned that he was tryin to play with the farriers chaps belt ;D hehe!
Here are some pics!

Well we have some good news
Today..... I sat on Tolo for the first time ever!!! He was SOO good, he just sat there like there was nothing different!
Later this week we are going to start walking around and all, he is getting SO much better in leaps and bounds! And today was his time to shine and shine he did

I am glad he is doing so well! I can't wait until we can really ride together. You have done such a good job with him! Keep up the good work.
