And no one ever claimed him? I just cannot imagine loosing one of mine and not searching for them. Makes me want to brand my phone number on their butts!
Sometimes they are stolen and get or turned loose. Sometimes they just get out. Several have been brought to my stable and some just find their way on their own. Some owners (some from other states) are eventually found. Some pay for the care and take them home. The sad thing is that the horses show up in such bad shape. The good news is that they usually heal and get fat and happy.
