Update-
"Les"
Remember the 8yr old stud that was dumped at Bowies K*ll Pen because he had a massive life threatening injury to his shoulder ? It was so bad looking at it your mouth fell to the floor in shock. He was dumped at Bowies because at the age of 8 years old no one had invested time into him to even halter train him.. so the unfortunate outcome was that when he obtained an injury, no one could catch him or treat him and he was a danger .. the only option in their mind was to send him to sale barn to become someone else's problem, a problem they created?? So they collected that couple hundred bucks for him and off they went, no looking back. Did he ship to Mexico ?? They didn't care... as far as they know he's dead. So BH family did what we do best and we clean up other peoples dirt for the benefit of that animal. Many rescues would hv put this guy down, due to the astronomical fees involved, in-fact some rescues even use a point system (they created) to evaluate horses who should be euthanized, and if that horse hits those points, we'll throw him in the incinerator. And off he goes to die again.. ?? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Points for not being halter broke, points for being a stud, points for being dangerous, points for over a certain age, points for having to invest to much time to retrain , this horse would hv been dead again, BH and our followers believe in a New Life and second chances for the less fortunate .. is it good financial decision for the rescue side ?? No , no it's not, let's be honest, but sometimes the outcome of an amazing story and a new journey outweighs those financial decisions.. and that were BH rests its case . This is why we hv hard time coming up with funds for a deposit on our own QT property, because we talk in cases that others turn a eye to.
"The Stiud" with the shoulder injury, is now know as "Les" , he was named after being at outlaw equine for several months, the name Les was chosen in Memory of a very special lady, who helps maintain this page named Michelle, Michelle's father Les passed away and the stud needed a name, so Les it was, two beautiful souls share this name.
Les stayed at outlaw equine for several months, let's not even talk about the financial aspect of it, that's also a mouth dropper., but during the stay at Outlaw, Les was deemed a difficult case, he had to be placed into a chute and sedated to treat his injuries, many many times. Over this time period he became more and more use to human touch, and eventually became halter broke, he gained a ton of weight and his unhealthy dull coat, shedded out and in came a shiny new gleaming coat. Les later became a gentleman and he was gelded during his stay. He is awaiting his forever home with a new family who can keep teaching him new things and better his life . His shoulder is healed, he has a slight
scar and there is no permanent damage. Thank you to BH followers and donors, his life went on and he received the medical care he greatly needed and can be introduced into a herd environment without the possibility of bringing unneeded lives into the world. Be a responsible equine owner geld your horses please . If your interested in Les please text 530-957-5229 he needs someone experienced with equine no beginners .
His nick name should be "squirrel" look at those cheeks! This large cheeks are due to the fact he has has so much tearoste his his body for years.
