This a California OTTB who may need to be recovered. The original buyers bought him for the Retired Racehorse Project and sold him to Veronica Bastianon. She sold this horse for a listing price of $500 in less than 48 hours after being posted on Facebook (the for sale post has been removed; screenshot in Dropbox file below). He is a war horse and is lame and needs veterinary care. We all know that these horses are difficult to place and it is highly unlikely that he was placed in a good home for that sale price in that time frame. I have contacted Equine Racers, the Retired Racehorse Project, and local individuals I know who work with OTTBs and/or go to auctions and look for OTTBs. I do not have an e-mail address for CANTER, but I will use the contact us option to send this to them. The seller will not provide me with any information (message conversation in Dropbox file). In addition, I offered to donate veterinary services and she did not reply. I am sending this e-mail to everyone I know in the OTTB community. If you have any information or leads to the location of this horse, please contact me. I can temporarily foster him. However, if he can be recovered, I will need assistance in placing him (hopefully at a permanent sanctuary where he will not be available for adoption). It appears that this horse has already had multiple homes in a short time frame and needs to be somewhere safe.
