Jackpot~ADOPTED

Most of you know the story of Lotto the Belgian. He was pulled from Camelot in July 2010. He was lame and nobody wanted a lame horse. So we stepped in. The thing was, he was one of a young team of Belgians. The other was purchased privately and taken to Cape May, NJ. So Lotto came to Ohio without his buddy.

Well on January 30, 2011 something amazing happened. Almost if out of a fairytale…I was bombarded with emails and postings of a Craigslist ad from Southern New Jersey….and there, staring back at me was a Camelot copywritten picture taken by Sarah Andrews of Lottos team mate, # 743. I immediately was drawn to grab the phone and call. I explained to the lady on the other end that I had this horses team mate and he needed him as he was battling a very severe foot disease and I wanted to bring him to Ohio to get them reunited. The asking price on this horse was $1000 but the lady allowed me to purchase him for $500. I gathered the troops on our facebook page and in lightning speed the purchase price as well as the shipping to Ohio was raised for #743 who was now named “Jackpot”. He had indeed hit the JACKPOT!

Well, turns out that Lotto wasnt any longer interested in having JP around so he is now looking for a home. Feet are in excellent condition, VERY well mannered, prefers turn out setting to being stalled, gives feet without stocks, only 6 years old and is broke to ride (green) and drive. This is one GORGEOUS hunk of horse…with no medical issues and young in age. A rare find in rescue situations!

ADOPTION FEE IS $550

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.

There is now a report on file with the Guernsey County Sheriffs Department regarding this same individual in Summer 2010 for "Theft by Intimidation" and "Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer" for illegal removal of horses currently under the monitoring of local Humane and Law Enforcement.
