Subj: please respond

....Hello,my name is Jeff Deets,and i live in Saratoga NY. I know of a
beautiful former stallion in the Saratoga area, that will be destroyed
shortly if a home isn't found. He is a stunning roan son of the racehorse
Dehere, his name is Millions, and currently isn't gelded (i will have this
done at my expense if you require it). He is a fiesty guy,but just a kid
at 12. Please if you can help ....please please contact me anytime.......

anxiously, Jeff (many thanks)

Conformation photo of Millions is at Genessee Valley Breeders Association at http://www.gvbreeders.com/stallions.shtml.

His timeframe is days, so if anyone can re-home a 16.1 grey soon-to-be-gelding, here's your chance. Please don't hesitate to contact Jeff directly, either by email or phone, if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks!

The link isn't working. Do you have any photos that you can post? How much is he asking for him? Does he have his papers? Is he sound and has he been worked with at all since coming off the track? I just took in another stallion (he arrived tonight ) so I don't have the room for him, tempting as it is with him being a grey but I have a cousin who I will pass his info on to, I think he could use another breeding stallion if this guy is willing to give the papers with him. I'll see if he thinks he's worth a shot. It would help if you could get me pictures and a price though.

[Mikki79]

Thanks... I can be website challenged sometimes!!!!!

[toadie]

Some clarifications, if you have them. I assume that Jeff Deets is not the owner? Also assume that if he's going to be euthanized that he's free? Is he rideable? I just think if you can give a few more details you might get the ball rolling towards his rescue.

[Marli]

FYI-

Someone contacted Jeff Deets and he reported back that Millions is INFERTILE- thus the reason he's going to be gelded.

http://forums.delphiforums.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=29750.21

Update 9:45 a.m.

Rescue colleague of mine contacted the former connections to this horse. They are stepping up for this horse, he will be safe. Thanks!

[Crystal]

I hope the McMahon's do right by him. Geld him or let him be a teaser. He is a pretty boy.

[Marli]

He's headed back to the McMahon's farm right now. He'll be used as a teaser.

[Mikki79]

That's great news.

[Karie]

thank god.. I was really concerned over this boy..

[trackgal]

What really makes me sick is that these breeding operations alway's expect "someone else" to clean up there mess, YOU BROUGHT THE ANIMAL INTO THIS WORLD, NOW, TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING.. IF YOU DON"T Your "karma" WILL get you trust me..

[Pawtucket]

Thanks, everyone, for your responses and your interest in Millions. Just got to a computer to check Millions' situation and am very relieved to learn that his future is assured.

Thanks, Marli, for posting the good news!

If only they could all have happy endings like this one.
