Full story

Immy was sent to a breeder at a Quarter Horse Ranch in Idaho to be a saddle horse because the ranch owner had no mature or broke horses to use during that time. I was busy showing and doing in endurance. This gave Immy something to do in the meantime. I was to be consulted if Immy was to be bred.

In early October of 2007, after threatening to turn her in for no contact at all this year about my horses well being or condition, she wrote me back and reported the horse had died, unknown causes. Breeder said a rendering truck was called and no necropsy was performed. I asked for additional information, such as when it happened and the ranch owner refuses to reply. My gut instinct is that the horse is still alive and is being used for breeding, as the ranch owner has halter horses and this mare was a top barrel running mare with decent halter bloodlines. Immy is out of the breeder's late stallion.

Odds are the hair sample off my horse was sent in place of another horses that may have had more marketable bloodlines and Immy will make babies while the other horse is shown collecting valuable points.

This mare has earned over $45,000K in her lifetime and I've had her since she was 9 mos old. I'd like to know where she is or find some sort of resolution to my situation.
