We got this letter at HyTyme, the gal is very sick and we are tapped out for helping right now, we just took in 3 other horses from people who could are for them, so I am passing this on hoping someone can help her.
Hi
This is probably the hardest letter I've ever written, I have 3 horses and only an acre of ground. 2 of theses horses were sold, retried race horses, one was still being raced. Then I saw them,,, One the one being raced was so thin he stumbled when he tried to walk, he had no life, he's 6 years old about 16 hands gelding , a bay and very nice horse to handle, he is starting to come back . The other is also a bay 17 hands lots of spirit but easy to handle and is 7 years old.. in very good shape now has not been raced in 3 years. The third is a morgan cross I rescued over a year ago not sure I want to let him go he a wonderful animal bearly over poa in height but very stocky.
I could afford to keep him as he is an easy keeper but heres my problem, I'm 65 years old and very ill am on treatment for a year to try to keep me alive, I can't do these horses justice nor afford to feed them and no stalls for 2 of them for the winter, I can't sell them except at auction and won't because of the meat buyers these are nice young horses that need good homes. I found your site and am in hopes you can help.
Thank you
