You can't imagine the stress of not being able to watch the race and then reading the chart that says that your favorite horse was vanned off. I can't thank Tom enough for his help, he is a credit to this forum, to our industry and to mankind Seriously, he was awesome!

We still have a ways to go, we've got to get him in the trailer and home to California. He's going to GEVA, a fabulous equine retirement place that will help get him re-schooled and then we'll find good ol' Nopie a good home where he'll be happy. If anyone was touched by this story, please donate to GEVA, they do great work and I owe them a debt of gratitude (GEVA) - tell 'em Nopie sent ya!

I'll keep you all updated as more developments arise and I'll give more details later of what Tom had to go through to make this happen, once I have time to sort it all out. It's been an amazing day...
wow, what a story! so glad it ended happily for you and nopie. and way to go scavs!
