Searching for Major - POA-size Chestnut app w/white blanket - Tallapoosa County, AL - Donated to girls' ranch Spring 1982 w/2 other apps
Major was sold to a horse dealer around August 1982. I believe he lived in Alexander City. At 12 years old, I called and spoke to him and even went to his house looking for my horse.
Out of the hundreds of horses he has bought and sold this is the only one he "doesn't remember". Considering Major's size and coloring, I never believed it. I am afraid he went to slaughter, but still hope he found a good home to live out his life.
The dealer is the one who told me to whom he sold the App Mare, Chas McDilly, and we visited him. So she was found and in a good home. Again, since the dealer gave me this info, what reason
would he have not to tell me what happened to Major other than he was sent to auction or slaughter?

missing how: Donated & then he was sold
city county missing: Tallapoosa County
how missing details: In March of 1982, my family donated Major and two
registered appaloosas to the Girls Ranch in Tallapoosa County, Ala. We were told they'd receive additional training, and that we'd
have first option to get them back. Neither were true. The filly died shortly
thereafter, and the mare and Major were sold to a horse dealer. I located the
mare in Equality, Ala. A nice older man had bought her, but she was in bad
shape. When I called & asked the dealer about Major, he didn't remember him. I
don't believe that. My worst fear is that Major died at his barn (which I'd
heard was really awful) or he was shipped to slaughter. I want to find him and
either know that he is in a good home or buy him back so he can live out his
years with me as I once promised him.
