Hi all,
Asking for a lot on this one, as its been so many years, but i'm hoping someone out there many recognise him - or even have owned him if im really lucky! I'm not looking to place any blame, just wish i knew how he was, or what came of him.
'Monty' as I named him, 2001 ISH - I repassported him when i brought him from a dealer who conviniently needed to 'post his on'. Very dark bay/black, one white sock (right back if looking from his head) white blaze. He also had a scar below his right ear, and a brand on his right flank - but had grown out so wasn't easy to read. He stood at about 17hh/17.1hh.
He was diagnosed with navicular in late 2006, as it was quite aggressive he had eggbar shoes filled with silicone, and was started on bute.
In early 2007 i sent him off to live at a 'permanent' retirement home, as a field onarment until the time came. (i was only 15 and my mum wouldn't allow me to keep him as it was too expensive for her) in Gloucestershire. Later the same year I found out he was sold on to a dealer in Somerset - who i wish not to name. She did contact us as our name was still on the passport, to ask if we knew why he was lame - needless to say once we told her why, we never heard from her again.
I managed to track him down one step further than her a few years ago, to another lady in Somerset - but when i contacted her she said she had already sold him on, but was aware of his problem - apparently to a lady in Chipping Sodbury who owned/owns a teashop, but conviniently couldn't remember her name, so im guessing it was a lie.
I'm aware as navicular is progressive, i'm unlikely to find him alive or have any happy news! I just want to know where he ended up.
the photo attached was the last ever time i saw him.
Thanks
