Saddlebred needs help ASAP

[StreetFoxDiscovery]

I got this in an email and wanted to post it, in hopes someone will help this boy out. He is located at a dealer called Hemphills located here in Maine. It's located just above Augusta. They want $200 for him and I read that he is in their "kill pen", which means he will be shipping for meat if someone doesnt take him. He is probably in the kill pen because he is not broke to ride, therefore making him a hard sell. ~Jen~ rackon@maine.rr.com

Email received:
I received a link regarding 2 saddlebreds in need of rescue/rehoming in Maine. The mare has since been successfully rehomed and it now just the gelding looking for a home. The discussion board these 2 were found on say that he is 2 or 3 but I would say his tail length says he is older. (I've attached a pic of him--his tail looks shorter because it's crusted in mud)

Although it says he doesn't have papers if he was ever registered it shouldn't be that hard to find his identity once more is known about him (age, if there are any marking under the mud, etc) it's not like palomino's are all that common.

There is already a thread started about this horse.

Yes, this horse is listed on the thread just below marked what a week. We have an offer of a home and are trying to raise 200.00 bail to get him safe. That's all that is needed- 200.00. Thanks

Sent $25 via SBR paypal, to cover the paypal fee, marked for the palomino.

only $80.00 dollars left to go? Right?

[rhettdgn]

Actually, I put 25.oo down for hey4horse, it's 20.00 (It was late)
I believe 85.00 is what is left

I'm not sure what the paypal fees amount to, so a bit over 200.00 due to paypal fees. Hopefully, Magic can include the amount for those soon.

Hi- You should be receiving 50.00 from the equinesite mem and also 20 from jburns SBR

Anywhooo- Mercedes from the equinesite forum has just told me that they paid for him and he's safe standing in a box stall pending her going to pick him up. It's all worked out!! No thanks to the owner trying to get him back no less. No worries it's all worked out for the pretty blonde!!!! Chauld one more "win" for the blondes!!!! (Sorry had to add that)
