OTTB rescue

Postby Sylvie Hebert » Thu Oct 03, 2013 1:28 pm

many years ago we rescued a 1994 gelding at New Holland from the killer pen, we turned him into a real nice barrel horse and in 2005-2006 sold him for rodeos in Louisiana to a Nevada rider.Well not long ago out of the blues we heard from him,he needs a home badly...So we bought him back and I am happy to say he will retire quietly arriving from New Mexico soon..His name is Free Cash Flow.Thank you to Cox transport who offered a very good rate,thank you to all my friends who helped me sell furniture and equipement to make this possible.

Sylvie, Are you trying to sell the Gelding before he leaves the states?

No,I honestly don't know really his present condition except he seems a bit thin.He used to be a really good barrel horse and my daughter was 14 years old and campaigning him,she did all the retraining herself,he used to be a very honest and versatile horse,jumped well too,brought the cows back in,ponied...but years later who knows??
