Halfway through our non-stop three day weekend of auctions, we have a total of 15 lives saved so far. This includes one graded stakes placed Thoroughbred "Rogue Victory" (pictured) rescued for $85, after selling for $200,000 as a yearling at Keeneland, and earning $250k on the track. Somehow, he went from running in graded stakes races on the East Coast, to selling for well-below meat price on the West Coast, in a little over a year since his last race. After identifying him, we were able to rescue him for Southern California Thoroughbred Rescue. We also rescued two pregnant mares, and several other horses in dire need.
Those include:
Four-year-old Thoroughbred "Boomerang Lou," last raced March 2013 at Los Alamitos. Since his last race, ended up with charros in Central California. Brought to auction with deep lacerations to his gums, tongue, and beneath his chin, he's headed back down south to join Equine Racers rescue.
Nine-year-old Kentucky-bred Thoroughbred mare "Avada Kedava," by Grindstone, last raced at Golden Gate Fields in 2008. She came to auction, an unassuming, smaller mare with neglected feet and a kind temperament. Also rescued, we are working on her placement now.
10-year-old gelding "Storm Crash," by Illinois Storm, was owned by the same charros who had so radically abused Boomerang Lou. Storm, along with a paint gelding with a fresh injury exposing his skull, and a scared paint pony, were rescued for Equine Rescue Center.
The emaciated palomino mare was also rescued, set to go toBack In The Saddle Project in Oroville, but our friend and local hauler Marsha fell in love with the horse instead, and decided to adopt her!
As for the two pregnant mares, one is an older emaciated paint who has been suffering foaling pains the past few days, leading up to auction. She is heading straight to a friends ranch in Santa Clarita to foal out.
A pregnant palomino mare, not even halter broke, also very far along in her pregnancy, was also rescued. Thanks to Toby's Legacy Equine Rescue, she will also have a soft landing to have her baby.
