Uthopia to be sold at auction

[Caol Ila]

I came across this in the magazine section. http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news...-533879?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social.

It sounds like the horse has some health issues, and he is to be sold like an ensurient item of property alongside the fancy cars and expensive jewelry. It makes me sad for him. I hope something works out in his favor.

Hopefully a stud will buy him, sadly all horses are just seen as property.

This has really shocked me. Carl must be so upset.

I would image its not a shock to Carl and they would know whats been happening, its been odd since the olympics and being pulled out of comps etc

 

[shadeofshyness]

Yes, am sure he's known it was coming for some time He'll still be upset though - I hope for the best possible outcome for Uthopia and all staff involved.

Such sad, sad news. I must admit I thought he was a gelding.

Really sad news. I don't agree that ALL horses are just seen as property and I can't imagine that Carl and his team are over the moon about Utopia being sold without reserve. I thought that Carl was part owner but it seems like a bit of a convoluted story.

Let's just hope it all comes out ok in the end for the horse.

I hope that no one bids on him and lets Carl buy the horse for £5, would serve the people who put him up for sale with no reserve right!! I know that is a dream world thing. But the horse is not right to compete and be ridden hard if Richard Davison is correct, which I am sure he probably is. People would be mad to buy the horse a way from Carl who clearly knows the horse needs to retire.

It's awful but those administering the bankruptcy are bound to dispose of any assets in a transparent way that is most likely to bring a return to the creditors .
Let's just all hope it turns out as it ought .

I suspect the fact he is being sold at public auction will actually help Carl ! At least its out in the open.
