Rescued Black Percheron arrival to Centre- Nov. 25, 2007

[FanofMitchellHorse]

Hi! Yes Charlie was destined for meat. We are not anti slaughter but seeing good horses in homes wherever possible is of course best. The good news is that Charlie was rescued, then adopted into retirement into a wonderful home! I am sorry to tell you he has passed away since. But he died of natural causes in a home, knowing love and kindness through to the end. No fear. He was a dear soul. Never to be forgotten.

Did she say "bidding against the meat buyers"??? That's so sad :( So happy you rescued him!! I hope he's still doing well these years later!!

He is a beautiful percheron, you done a wonderful thing.

[dillwithit]

Absolutely stunning!

a black percheron that is not purebred unless it is still young bcause they are like lippizans they change color sit should be dapple

[GeordieTerrier]

@horsesaremylife31899 Not according to every horse book and site I've ever read. Greys are much more common but some are black. And as an extra titbit you do get the occasional rare black lippizan too.

I can't understand why people eats horse meat, to me, it's like eating dogs!

[ShelbiSexy]

@bogoid alot of horse meat was sold to zoos too=] I could never eat a horse.

[SwiftSnowmane]

Isn't he a teddy! Thanks for your comments!

[horsegirl0607]

wow that was a big rescue

[FanofMitchellHorse]

This... is the most hilarious comment! Haha!  Cheers!

[FanofMitchellHorse]

Hi everyone! Charlie is still looking for a home. Jen is having a chiropractor work on Charlie's back so hopefully that will help him. (Charlie is not in pain - opinion of the vet, and of the chiropractor.)

Charlie is the friendliest, kindest soul. If you would like a giant teddy bear to greet you at the gate every morning, you may want to consider Charlie. $650 as a companion horse.

[HorseFreak007]

Wow! What a gorgious horse! Good job on rescuing him/her!

[tikidikidoo]
