I just got a call from a rescue in Ohio who recently took in a Standardbred from our program. Sand Wedge is a tall Standardbred gelding who has been in his adoptive home for a few years, but the family recently called to relinquish the horse. The options they were given were, per placement contract, to:
1) arrange for return of the horse to the ASAP farm
2) allow ASAP to attempt to rehome Sand Wedge in Ohio to avoid shipping charges.
They chose option #2, and also placed another horse who was a Quarter horse into our program. Sadly, the Quarter horse recently died of sudden and severe colic. That was the last communication we had from them. Now, Sand Wedge is standing at a horse rescue.
We have several people who have adopted horses in the state of Ohio. If any of you are willing to step up to take Sand Wedge it would be greatly appreciated!!!! Even if you are willing to do short term care so that the other rescue does not have to be responsible for the feed and care involved in an extra horse that is not part of their program, it would be wonderful.
Give me a call at 608-792-5126 or email me at asapinc@mwt.net
This is an urgent situation - please respond!
Thanks!
Susan
