This story annoys me. If anyone out there has disposable income they can throw on an unwanted stallion... please rescue him. Geld him. Make him a trail horse or something... if I had the cash I would take him in an instant.

Some remember Watchmon.... formerly owned by Pompa.. finished 9th in the Belmont, won the Jamiaca. He broke his ankle up at Saratoga that summer and it appears Pompa unloaded him rather quickly to Cornell and a vet tech adopts him. Happy ending? Nope.

First, the adopter took the horse with 'hopes to breed him'... well, no one wants to pay what she is asking for. Now she is in debt, cant afford to keep him, so wants to sell him. Shes put around 10K into him and now cant afford it anymore. 5K offers arent enough... she says she will donate whatever she gets from selling him to charity... yeah, her own pocket so she can pull herself out of debt....

Reading that story made me so angry... the tone is that of 'oh its to help the children'... bull, it was to make a buck... now you cant so the horse is a 'burden' you need to unload. Such crap. Where is Pompa in this? Why can't he find a nice place for his former WINNER? I am more than sure he can afford to take this horse and find him a new home. I guess maybe the problem is the greedy Witch who adopted him wants her money back and he's not paying for a broke down saddle pony...
