16.2hh Chestnut Louis/Pontas UD45

[BMA]

Trying to trace a horse I owned approx 10 years ago. Would be 15 ish now.

Chestnut with dorsal stripe. 4 white legs (i think). Egg sixed swellings below his hocks on the outside. 9.5 inches of bone. Freezemarked UD45. When I had him he was a pro at pulling off front shoes.

Sold to a husband and wife...he was a point to point rider/trainer and wanted to hunt Louis with Draghounds (Cambridge I think). His wife had injured/broken her back in the past and bought a 17hh coloured horse from a Riding School the same week (the coloured horse would have been about 4/5 years at the time).

My old horse - Louis was sold from a village near Wellingboro' N'hants.

Sure they owned a yard of P2P's

Any news good or bad...was sold due to a personality clash!

Nothing on google or NED with freezemark.
Ring Farmkey and see if they can help trace any owners

thanks for looking...maybe he isn't around anymore??

 

[cally6008]

It could just be that he is still alive but new owners haven't re-registered freezemark

Did you phone Farmkey ?

Hi, could this be him?

? What are the chances. What a shame that he op isn’t around any more.

Have you recently purchased him?

 

[rhyalaird]

I know, if only I had found this thread sooner.

No, we have had this boy for quite a while and he is very much still active, healthy and living a happy life!

That’s really fabulous xx

OH MY GOD

I just decided to Google Louis and his freezemark to see if anything came up for the first time in about 10 years. Never in a million years did I expect to find something.

I had to set up a new user name...but it was me looking.

Please tell me everything.

I reckon it must be 19 years or so since I sold him...what on earth has he been up to?!

This is going to be HHO thread of the year, surely? What an amazing heart lifting story ?

 

[BMA2]

Can't believe it!
