My dear cousin is in a really bad situation just outside of Portland. She moved there 1 month ago from Mass. and does not know anyone in the "horse" world there. Her world is falling apart, mom dying, no job, no money and an abusive partner she desperately needs to leave immediately.
She is going to stay with her sister until her mother passes but needs to move the horse that she has so dearly loved for 16 years. (( Updated: OMG it has been 24!! Time flies)) Unfortunately she spent evertything she had to get to out here including having her mare shipped by Bob Hubbard transport.
To get to my point, I am hoping that this network of wonderful horse people can help me get Abby from just outside of Portland to Sultan as soon as possible. I have done this with rescue greyhounds before but never a horse. Do you think it can be done, I just can't afford and don't know that my truck would make that long of a drive. If it could be coordinated maybe a few different drivers could make short trips in a sort of "underground railroad" for Abby. She is a very small, senior arab mare and she travels very well. Let me know what you think, I could take the end of the journey from about the Southcenter area of Seattle north. The whole trip should only end up being about 5 hours total for Abby...I hope and pray that this will work....

Thank you so much for being the first to reach out to help.
It would be outstanding if you could crosspost this for me. I use CL a lot and I just don't feel comfprtable using it for this trip
I am making all the arangements for my cousin. Her situation is just awful and I don't want her to have any more distress.
My contact info is

home phone 360-799-1075
cell phone - a better choice - 206-356-3123
The address that Abby is at is in Eagle Creek Oregon and I wcould meet someone around the 405/I5 interchange near the southcenter mall.
I am thinking maybe oone trailer for Eagle Creek to Portland, Portland to Centrailia, Centrailia to Olympia, My cousin may have someone who could do a part around the olympia area maybe to Tacoma, and then maybe a trailer from Tacoma to Southcenter.
She wants to try and come up with some transportation money but may only have $100.
