This is a beautiful mare. If anyone in the Seattle area will take her, Kate will put some time on her for you. She will see what she knows and take her in the direction she will do best. Kate not only race rides but does show jumping, eventing and dressage. Her heart belongs to the TB's.

Sam told me this mare is very nice. Sam knows her TB's. Let's figure out how to save this girl and Kate can put some time on her for her new person.

I had an ad up on Craigslist for her and it got flagged and deleted. I don't understand why. I have other ads for Turtle and KittyCat that are Ok. Then last night I did an ad for Sharon and that got flagged and deleted. I will try another time for Rose because these ads seem to be getting responses right away. Tomorrow is a holiday and maybe people will be looking....if anyone has insights into craigslist, please clue me in.
Aleta
I think my ads for Pete and Lori are still there.

The pro-slaughter constituency has targeted CBER, they are the ones flagging CBER ads.

The pro-slaughter constituency has targeted CBER, they are the ones flagging CBER ads. How are they searching? Is either of the words "rescue" or "CBER" used in the ads?? Or perhaps they are invisable guests on this board & are reading which ones you have listed? Maybe if you don't use the above words or the horses' names, they will have a harder time finding which ones you have listed. I hate to say this, but maybe you shouldn't tell us any more who you have put ads up for or where. At least for a while. But, bless your heart for doing all you can for them!!!! Just a thought.

Try the Farm and Garden section of Craigslist... not the pet section for ads

Avoid putting anything that they can search on, e.g. CBER, Columbia, Rescue, etc.

Ok, I am working on some "things" today and won't say what, but I have previously said to contact say Hillarie at the Columbia Basin Equine Rescue and then a phone and email address.
But what is interesting is that there are still ads for a couple horses that did not get flagged, so why are they selective? I think I will try again and leave out what we mentioned and just put a contact name and phone/email.
Because the ads DO GET RESPONSES!!
Any idea what area is the best....you can email me or pm me with other suggestions.
Thanks for all the advise.

I think last year some people were watching the CL message boards as this was going down. It may be innocent flagging. You should say "non-profit rescue" to help explain the situation and I think F&G is a better section. Fewer militant pet people that are quick to jump to conclusions! I'm a self-appointed CL policeman. I always flag ads selling litters of puppies (especially purebred, unpapered) and marijuana clones - my personal pet peeves.

It's not innocent flagging. A few of us were posting CBER horses on CL in mid- to late-2006 when our ads, in every geography, came under systematic attack. We had no choice but to stop posting ads on CL because it was futile. They had more time to spend flagging than we had posting.
The CL flagging is just one of many techniques this group uses to bring down CBER and other rescues.
Sadly, horses ship because of their tactics.

I have found their phone number thru google because you won't find it at their website...so I will call tomorrow, they are closed today....this really is harrassment and they need to give a legitimate rescue the legal right to advertise....free country??

I just put an ad up on CL for poor little Jeremy and it got flagged IMMEDIATELY..I did not name CBER, I did not even say the word slaughter, just a very innocent plea, so what now? it was in farm/garden???
I am calling CL tomorrow because we have as much right as anyone else to advertise....and we should not give in. Our reaching out to people to adopt these horses cannot be further compromised.....we cannot go to ABR, now we cannot go to Craigslist...we cannot insulate ourselves to the point of being ineffective. Wish I had a lawyer to fight this CL harrassment.

So, does this horse have a home offer? Kinda confused because the thread titles have changed so much. And on the updated page it says she has no home offer. She's so beautiful! I figured she would've been one of the first ones to find a home. I hope that she doesn't ship!

Apparently the backup home offer has fallen through...we hope that someone absolutely LOVES Rose and will adopt her...this may be her last chance. She is a beautiful horse. It would be a tremendous shame to let her go.

Well, I did call CL today and let me tell you, the customer service there is zero. They basically say, if you do not like what has happened to you, you can use another site. You can email for help which I did, but I believe answers will take forever. I do want to talk to the Better Business Bureau, but in the meantime, I think I may have figured out how to keep the ads up...no details here...you can pm me for more info. But there are ads up for 3 of the feedlot horses and one of the killbuyer horses (and I got a response for the KB horse tonight). I will try to help Rose again using my new insights and I pray it will work.

Her robust beauty is the very thing that makes her attractive to the KB, and thus, expensive.
Very ironic.
