[apache]

He's got my heart.........if I had a spot on the trailer I would have taken him already......

He is turning into such a stunner. Always did love those little guys, well, not so LITTLE, huh?

[calgal982]

Is it the age of this guy that is scaring people off?? Wouldn't scare me off.....I would love to have a babysitter like this guy...

[apache]

Someone is looking at 2 of mine. If they are placed, I will have room for 2 and would like to take Rocket. I will post as I know! He would need bail $. I have the trailering covered already.

[paintedlady]

Apache !! You are awsome. Why dont you move over to this side of the world and we can just send all the horses to you as they come in ;D ;D

[apache]

Well, the reason is........you see...when the west was won, all the great horses ended up on the west coast. So, one by one, I am just trying to bring 'em all back! LOL ;D

[NanciK]

Apache - great offer! Have you connected with Rocket's PS yet?

I fear time is getting short, and this guy will be the first on the truck. Let's not wait, Rocket and all these horses are at risk! Thanks.

[emjay]

dont' let Rocket on that truck, dammit I wish i was set up and closer. tick me off.

[lisa]

I can be a backup for Rocket if he is bailed and has no where to go.. I will contact his PS

[chocolatemoose]

I know a trainer up in Capay Valley Ca that is looking for a lesson horse, he sounds like he would work for that along with Cookie Crumb, She is in Alaska and wont be back until Monday evening.

[NanciK]

Monday is too late. He needs help now.

[chocolatemoose]

Unfortunately I cant adopt him and then hope she wants him. I just took in a mare that was rescued from Ahimsa Ranch that was suppose to go into training on Sept 1 but found out today she's pregnant. I'm going to help her owner out and keep her here until she can find her a good home. I wish there was something I could do.

we need to find you a big 'ol ranch around the lot so we can send them all to ya ;D

[cybercat]

Remember the Angel Fund has around $400 in it! It can be used if you are an approved adopter...

[emjay]

that'd be nice dustyboots, It would definitly be filling up already.
I pray this guy gets a home, he's a good horse, not sure why he's being overlooked. You can ride him, he's good looking., he's quiet. ............ tick tock tick tock.

[keldco]

OK, so let's get Rocket off of the lot too!!!
I just paid his bail plus fees.
I just emailed his PS, Deb at about 12:30pm & also sent in the payment through the CBER's donation site.

BUT, PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP ME TO SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE. LET'S NOT HAVE A COMMUNICATION BREAK-DOWN. HELP TELL EVERYONE.
Kelly

[djrepp]

Who is taking him?

[cybercat]

Thanks, Kelly!

Lisam- had offered to be a back up home if needed....Lisa, did you get hold of Rocket's PS?

[calgal982]

So, do we have a home for this guy??? Someone let me know, please.

[calgal982]

Okay, hubby will shoot me, but if this horse is bailed I will offer a home. Grandkids need a riding horse.

[djrepp]

This is the perfect horse. Have you contacted his PS?

[calgal982]

Yes, I've contacted her a couple of times this week, but just offered a home if he is bailed. I will pay the shipping and the rest of the stuff....I haven't broken it to hubby yet, but he knows I've been looking at this horse....thinks I'm crazy. V.

Everyone's just a tad crazy.... ;D

[pnp4kidz]

huh, I just see that this thread has never been updated!
anyway, Vicki couldn't take Rocket due to illness... so we took him for her...
and, my daughter rode him until just this month.
He has a left hip problem, and we decided to let him enjoy retirement... which he is doing.
He is a wonderful old soul, and has given his all to people, his mind is willing to keep on going, but his hip hurts him... so, he is on full retirement now.
I'll post some pics of Amy last month on him at the shows... he did great...
but limps on that hind, and has a hard time putting it down and weighting it after it's been held up for a hoof trim...
did chiro and massage, and he's fine as long as he just hangs around...
he's earned it.
he's also got an old face injury, and a mising upper molar, so the lower has way over grown for years... and is now loose, so we need to have that removed, which we can do now that he doesn't need a bit!
but he still eats hay, and is holding his weight great...
(when we got him Deb's report was he might not be ridable as he was 'so thin'... )
no problem here at Chez Rocking Horse Ranch...
:-)
he even lived in my yard over winter... hangin' in my garage...
I expect he'll get the yard duty this winter again... he is respectful, and likes to hang with us humans......
until then, he's hangin' with Baron and Bob Marley. chillin.
