Yes, both of the horses have found homes. Thanks for the offer!

: Any luck finding homes for these guys? I
: would be interested in giving rescue /
: foster care to Tad at my home. We currently
: have a 20+ y/o Appy mare that was rescued
: about 3 yrs ago and my son is looking for a
: younger horse for himself.

: I have posted both of these horses before,
: but
: have had no luck finding new homes. I am
: unable to keep these guys only because of a
: new baby, and I am not working at the time
: being. To make matters worse, the people I
: have them pastured with are moving out of
: state on Sept.5, and I HAVE to have both
: horses out of there by then. They are both
: offered for sale to a GOOD HOME only, and no
: reasonable offer will be refused! Both
: horses are located in Wellsville, NY.
:
: Tad is a 15yo AQHA gelding. 14.2h, dun (or
: buckskin?), no white except a small spot on
: back of one pastern. Tad has a great
: personality! He's very friendly, enjoys
: attention and grooming. He ties, clips,
: bathes, loads great, is awesome for
: vet/farrier, etc. He needs an intermed. or
: better rider right now, he hasn't been
: ridden regularly since last fall, and is
: testing every rider at this point to see if
: they'll actually make him work. Once he
: realizes he is supposed to be working, he's
: fine. Not spooky on trail at all!
: Basically, Tad is just in need of a
: refresher. His biggest fault at this point
: is he doesn't want to be away from his
: buddies, and that's only because he's been
: out with them for so long now without work.
: He's very passive in a herd situation, and
: would do great in a pasture by himself.
: I've reduced his price to $800, and I'll
: accept anything reasonable. Please, no
: homes where he'd be used as a lesson horse
: or camp horse or anything like that. Tad is
: a great horse, and deserves a good home with
: a family to love him! Email for pics.
:
: Gator is a 19yo Belgian/QH gelding. 16.1h,
: 1400+lbs, chestnut with blaze and sock.
: Very pretty boy! He also has 2 black spots
: on him. He has decent ground manners, but
: can become pushy when he's nervous and wants
: to get back to the pasture. He ties, clips
: (with patience), bathes, loads (sometimes
: needs some convincing but he's not hard to
: load), good for vet and farrier, etc. Gator
: is best when ridden by an intermediate
: rider, or a beginner with some riding
: experience. He prefers trail, but is good
: in the ring. Not spooky...but if something
: should startle him, he jumps to the side a
: bit and looks at it. He has a strong lope
: in the open, but is very easy to stop as
: long as you keep contact on his mouth. He
: never takes off, even in open fields, bucks,
: or rears. This must be known to anyone
: interested in Gator: he has an allergy to
: chickens, ducks, geese, etc!! He has
: trouble breathing when they are
: free-roaming, but if they are penned up, he
: has NO issues at all with them. I will not
: allow him to go to a home with birds that
: are not penned! I am only asking $650 for
: him, and again, I won't refuse any
: reasonable offer to a good home. Many pics
: available, just email for them.
:
: If you are a rescue, and I have not yet
: posted that homes have been found, please
: let me know as I would much rather place
: them with a reputable rescue than send them
: to auction. I am desperately in need of the
: money to catch up on some back bills, but
: their well-being is more important to me.
: Thanks very much!
