Belgian gelding, 16.2 hands, super curly mane and tail. Really nice quiet guy. Curly went thru the Camelot Auction in New Jersey on Wednesday, November 25th and sold to the meat buyer. He stood in a pen destined for the slaughter truck. One of Frog Ponds fantastic supporters fronted the funds so Curly and his 2 Belgian buddies could be free of that fate. They hopped a trailer on Friday, November 27 and arrived here in Ohio to freedom, food and a peaceful pasture. Below you will see pictures taken from the morning after their midnight arrival. UPDATE: Curly was evaluated for riding abilities. He stood great in cross ties for grooming. Was evaled bareback. Took bridle great, stood quietly while rider mounted, very lazy. Certainly not a run off horse. Takes some umph to get moving but just moseys along once he gets to moving. Steers well and a great whoa. Ridden in simple loose ring snaffle bit. Would be great family/hubby horse. Very laid back, pretty darn near unflappable. Teddy bear eyes and a heart to match! Curly is now available for adoption |

DISCLAIMER: We are in NO WAY, nor have we or will we EVER be affiliated with Drafty Barn Rescue located in Lore City, OH. The operator of the Drafty Barn Rescue organization has tagged the phrase "Frog Pond" on her website, used a portion of our trademarked slogan for her organizational name, and has placed frog pictures all over her pages. Additionally, she seems to be overly concerned about the length, content and requirements of our adoption application and contracts. This is a small part of her efforts at causing issues for our organization. One very good reason this "rescue" should be watched is shown in living color from Channel 3-Cleveland News Footage. The photo of the operator of the Drafty Barn rescue is shown on the still shot in the video. You will hear her own words and feelings on horse slaughter by watching the link.
There is also a 2008 USDA/Ohio Dept of Agriculture citation against them for Non-burial of Livestock after they left a horse lying in a ditch for days unnoticed by anyone that resides at the farm -- only the children who ride the bus past the farm daily to school. We received numerous phone calls from parents requesting assistance. Should you wish to see this document, please feel free to email us and it will be forwarded.
