A note of thanks to those people who contributed to this effort.

I did NOT solicit contributions here or anywhere, but to those who decided on their own to help, your contribution to this effort to save this horse is definitely appreciated. I sent notes and a couple of pictures and the owners name / email to all of you, except one person. To the one person who contributed via Paypal, that I can not identify so I can not send you a personal message, we thank you here instead. I will accept any donations, including anonymous ones.

All unsolicited donations are being applied to the several thousand dollar unexpected bills that are piling up.

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU

Because of the hurried time to get ToBe out of there and the distance away, we did not use the GMC and horse trailer that started this thread. It was just too far and put together to quickly to use our own equipment.

UPDATE ON the horse (named ToBe)

He is doing quite well and has an appointment to go to the University of Wisconsin Horse Clinic for an MRI and probably hoof surgery in 2.5 weeks.

You can not dream up the following stuff.

We got strong indications through others local to him, including the Vet, and direct emails from the stable, that the stable owner was increasingly unstable with regards to boarding ToBe. We were advised to move the horse out of there immediately. His pre-paid boarding contract was suppose to be until the end of February.

Yesterday in a matter of hours the horse owner was able to put together a rescue and move effort to get the horse out of there to a new (temporary) location about 100 miles away. He will stay there until he goes to University of Wisconsin. On 10 minutes notice we sent a transport person to the horses location to pick him up. Meanwhile, I drove 3 hours and the owner drove 1 hour to his new temporary location to be there when ToBe arrived. When the trailer arrived and before he was unloaded, ToBe gave out a happy whinny when he saw his owner waiting. This was at 9:45 PM. We stayed there until almost 1 AM to get him adjusted to his new temporary home. He appeared very happy when we left there in the middle of the night. He looks the best we have seen him since we first got him.

So thank you to everyone who helped, including the anonymous paypal person. Some day you will tell me who you are.

I do not do facebook but here are some links to pictures there IF it works.
