Cork

[cybercat]

Price:$725 Arrived: 1/3/2007
Age: 9 years Height: 16.3hh
Gender: Gelding Primary Color: Bay
Type: Riding Breed: Thoroughbred

HIS ADOPTION FELL THROUGH!
1998 16.3h bay TB gelding. Cork has a great kind eye and is gentle and friendly on the ground. His feet are in good shape overall but do need to be trimmed. Cork has a willing personality and calm disposition. We rode him bareback; he didn't mind us being up there but was unsure about moving forward. He backs ok and does neck rein a bit. Throughout our short assessment, he did seem to move forward better towards the end.

He IS off the lot, though, right? Or am I too tired to think straight?

We had everything in place for him at one time on the board. Is that still a go?

Clarification....whoever steps up first to adopt one of the TBs ~ Cork, Collista, Chandon or Fizzle ~ gets the money!

Cork still needs bail before the next truck comes - cber can't sponsor him right now in addition to the others. We can't let him go back to the lot!

Were any of the other TBs bailed? I can still put up half, but hopefully NanciK was able to put her half to someone else.

Last I heard a few days ago was that he was probably getting sick at the lot. Sam said his head isn't hanging so low now that he's at her place and he is looking much perkier.

I REALLY love this boy, but think he will be too hot for me. I need a solid husband horse right now. If no one can outright adopt him, I can probably help sponsor him. Is there anyone that can take a TB for retraining?

Re: CORK IS AVAILABLE AGAIN
Post by mickeyfan3 on Today at 5:15pm

Beckybee - I don't know that any other offers have come up. You might want to contact his PS with your offer of sponsorship; we'll see if someone in WA can help with his training. There was an offer of training for any of the yearlings if they came to California...maybe that person would be interested in refreshing Cork? We'd have to get donations to bring him down when he's done w/ QT. Nice, broke horses are EXPENSIVE in Cali.......

[mustang1]

Cork is young, a good size and attractive please lets help him find a home,

[maloney]

I love him!
I will not let him back to the lot. No, no, no! We must save him.

[leah]

I can offer a home and retraining, however am in Alberta and the majority of my financial resources are tied up in my other horses (3 slaughter/auction TB rescues included). Probably pretty far out there...but if there are bail and shipping funds I can give him a home.

[jeepgirl]

I am absolutely in love with Cork, and I have taxes coming up in 2 weeks. I could give him a home and post his bail, I am new here any tips on how to go about this?

[barbpurple]

get in touch with deb is ps,, she will help you out address is above

[jeepgirl]

I sent her an email... thank you!!

[beejoyfulmk]

go jeep!!!!!

[jeepgirl]

i heard back from Deb, she said yes... absolutely turn in an app... BUT I don't get my taxes for another week or two. Is there any danger of him shipping before then? Are there funds available to borrow in the angel fund for 2 weeks? Sorry, I am still figuring out how all this works

[jeepgirl]

I HAVE to have to have this horse. His eyes remind me of myself. I have never had a horse steal my soul the way this one has!!! Any help/advice would be so greatly appreciated.

[gratefulknits]

Jeepgirl, send a PM to "jenm". I believe she is the treasurer for the Angel Fund; she could let you know how much there is in the Angel Fund to borrow. It's perfectly ok to just ask here on this thread for help with his bail, too! Good luck, and bless you for trying to save this gallant guy.

[cybercat]

jeepgirl- how are things going for you and Cork?

[Admin]

Lets give Jeep a hand with this well deserving guy! He is going to be a fine horse with some TLC !!

Where are you located? Have you been approved already?

[mustang1]

What's going on with Cork? Is Jeep Girl going to get him? He is such a good looking guy, I hope someone steps up for him.

[Charsgma]

There have been some inquiry's on him but nothing firm!!

[beejoyfulmk]

this boy need s a home soon!!!!!! if I had room the boy would have a place to hang his halter
OH....jeepgirl he needs you!!!!!

[jeepgirl]

Sorry guys, I have been sick! I found out yesterday that there will be more in shipping costs and tests than I realized for the gelding I had already adopted in CA, so I won't have enough money right now to get Cork. I will defiantely contribute to the funds needed to get him off that lot!!! I am sorry... I hope we can find the perfect home for him!!!

[beejoyfulmk]

jeep you must find a way... if he speaks to you that much....I know what your saying with that, Chet was like that for me,I can't tell how much I love him he's a joy and all with a photo on CBER

[beejoyfulmk]

sorry you have been sick,
Im so new to all this horse stuff so when I say I loved him and felt that zap it means something, you can;t let go of them. I have never felt so safe @ a horse but I do with Royal

(Sigh) I know. I keep checking his thread every hour hoping for some development. I just do NOt know how I would afford the monthly quarantine board, even if I could come up with the money to bail him. Anyone have any ideas?? I have 5 days to figure out something...

[beejoyfulmk]

jeep have you looked at the loan dept here? make a small loan for a short time. we must find away!!!!! the boy is a looker under all that mud I bet!

[maloney]

He has Hampton Classic in 2010 written all over him !!!!!!!

[jeepgirl]

Ok, I can come up with half of his bail...can anyone help with the other half and the first months QT? I am going to turn in my application tomorrow after I get back from checking out a boarding facility

Ok, this is very hard for me to ask... but HELP!!! I have half of his bail, but I need the other half and if someone could help with the first months QT that would be great!! I can't just sit here and let him ship, I would die inside... I am running out of time.

[mustang1]

Come on everybody, He has a home offer and half his bail!!!! He is handsome and has a lot of life left,

[maloney]

Maybe we can set up some sort of loan for jeepgirl???
I could probably help.
Any takers?

[NanciK]

jeep - are you in contact with his Placement Specialist, and are you already approved to adopty?

[jeepgirl]

I did talk to her and she said there had been so much interest in him that she thinks he is pretty safe. If someone else has a good home for him, I am ok with that... took on that TB with the abcess yestereday so I now have 2 OTTBs with lameness issues and a gelding with a curved spine, so I am pretty much at my limit (constant vet bills...). I will take him if it means he will not go on the truck, but he would probably get more attention with someone else right now. I will gladly step aside if someone else can take him and love him and spoil him:) They just have to let me know later if they rehome him!!!!

[cybercat]

HAS AN ADOPTER, WILL BE PAID FOR TOMORROW...STAY TUNED FOR ADDITIONAL INFO... IF OUR HELP IS NEEDED...
