Just a quick update on the situation....Ryan called me earlier today about this as she found out the same way as everyone else. Just to point out before Heidi took Aldebutante home her father signed a contract that stated she could not sell her without first contacting Ryan to allow her to purchase the horse back. I also believe that in the contract if Ryan cannot find a buyer she is to be notified as to where she is going. I am not sure of the exact details as I was in the middle of a thousand other things so when I find out I will repost.

Cherie thanks so much for updating. Dee Tee-ers, Heidi called me today about this situation...apparently with the expenses of college coming up she doesn't have the finances available for Debbers anymore...since I (and in turn, all of you) have a first right of refusal, she is offered to us before anyone else can look at her. I am in the process of talking to a few people in my area, and I encourage you guys to spread the word. I want to keep her as close to us as possible. She is as you know an incredibly special mare and I'm sick over this situation.

Sorry guys, but anyone willing to give up a horse for a $1 doesn't have the best interest of the horse in mind.

I hope someone is able to find her a home, she is a very pretty horse.

I don't think she's asking $1 for the horse, it says "price negotiable" and I think she is placeholding with the $1. She may very well be free to a good home, but I'm sure she would like some money for school if she could get it.

Killer price is still $500, and that's what one has to worry about when selling any horse. Let's hope our beating the bushes gets her a home where we can keep an eye on her!

Dr. Beth is right, she's not selling her for a dollar. That website makes you list a price and she put a dollar bc she wasn't sure of a reasonable price for her. After talking w her she decided on around 3K if dhe could get that but her main concern is a good home I have sent an email to the director of CANTER to see if she could help us out in any way. Keep fingers crossed for good news today.

Heidi is sick over the situation and feels like she just doesn't have the time to give Aldeb the time and attention she needs, which will only become worse when she heads to college.
I let her know that the DTers were advised and are looking around.
I wish I could take Aldeb as she really is a pretty mare, however, I need to sell my place in Vermont before taking on a horse. Know anyone who wants to buy a ski place in the Mad River Valley? :-)

Hey guys,
Just got a text from Heidi saying Aldeb is off the market. She decided she is a once in a lifetime horse and is going to keep her. Hopefully that's the end of this issue and we can rest assured that she's not going anywhere, because I was making myself sick worrying about her!

I noticed she started a new blog about Legacy so I was hoping she had a change of heart. All good news
