Title: Looking for a lease/evaluation home
Description: AQHA PHBA 1999 Gelding

MrGlittered Bonanza (Gadget) palomino son of GLITTER PLEASE can be seen on RedFox Farms was trained and shown by Gigi Nutter in Georgia owner of TouchNgo farms before being sold to RFF in TX.

Gadget came to me as a bad deal. He was guaranteed sound and riding safe(dont know this never tried!) He came from a HJ lesson barn south of houston. I had one week to have him vet checked and try him out I got a night! He came off my trailer (barely made it) two bad stifles probably hocks too blind eye (could really tell it was nightime). called the vet hauled him the next morning was determined limited vision in one eye probably blind in the other no definite he didnt have the HIGH TECH stuff (to me it was obvious) and stifle injury.. no xrays was recommended by vet to haul to equine specialist. yes he is blind and only about 30% visibility in the other eye. Yes he has 2 bad stifles.. exam stopped there. Was recommended to pasture him and reeval when it could be consistant.

Meantime in the ordeal had to pick up the gelding that was a trade because he severed his tendon and the sheath was hanging out this was 2years ago this past mothers day! I hauled him 3 hours to a vet after driving 5 to pick him up to have to euthanize him I had couple thousand in dressage/hunter training! He was showing just a real nervous type horse and the lady totally misrepresented her self and her care standards. I figured a great home for him he wont ever get out and a steady environment.. he stood with a severed tendon for a week! So Gadget was officially mine by way to many legal situations and was stated as being of EQUAL value to my gelding that was perfectly healthy and was SOUND.

I would like to find Gadget in a lease home to have him evaluated I am unable to pay a lot at this time for him due to the cost of my sons private school here in hawaii. So I was hoping someone was looking for a project/rescue type to take on because "Friends" he is a Rescue. he is skinny (I have little control over it) he needs his feet trimmed I know he needs his teeth floated. I am willing to cover MEDICAL/Farrier expenses.

I keep having hope he has a chance such a bad deal for a horse bred to this caliber to have sustained such injuries. he has a poll injury from god knows what and whenever I have contacted the past owners they all tell me they never owned a horse named that. It is really weird the mare is a ROM winner in western pleasure.

If anyone is interested in working something out PLEASE let me know. I can be reached by here or email grittmanj001@hawaii.rr.com cellnumber 808-352-4996
I wont be back to the states until May-July 2008 and looks like we are heading to Huntsville AL (if anyone knows anyone there that would be great too!)

I want to thank all those who were supportive and trying with their hearts to give me an option..

Gadget is now with Megan Menagerie! THANK MEGAN what an awsome sweet kind hearted friendly person.. I feel I have met a true friend!

Gadget was in not so great of shape but I am the one to blame since I am in Hawaii.. I visited him and my two girls(who will also be moved back to my trainers) sometime very soon.

Thanks again.. updates I am sure as I get them on Gadget. I hope to report a great success but thats wishing.. atleast I hope he becomes fat and happy which he deserves.

Congrats!! to you and Gadget and Megan. Great news!! And thanks for the update too!

Hey yall,
I just wanted to say that Gadget is doing great. He is eating 3 small meals a day with hay in front of him. He loves to be petted on and loves his water therapy. I will try to keep everyone posted on his improvements. We have a long road ahead of us but I think that we can over come it.

I also wanted to post that we are now offering a full time severice of rehab. Please check out the website for more info. Vet statement must accompany all horses.

Thanks
Megan

Oh I cant wait for the time when I can give a recommendation!!!

Gadgets new halter , fly masks and collar should be arriving soon..

I always wanted to do a lay-up/ recoverey barn and kennel.. I used to see so many clients that just couldnt comply to what their pets needed and they would spend so much money on vet care/expenses and then go home and not follow through.. Ending up with a much larger bill at the end.

Good luck

Gadget is being ridden~ I got the news on Friday I was so ecstatic although it has only been a short week I am waiting for the 30 days to see how he holds up to steady work.

He is looking well. I am still updating my website more photos to come will have link shortly..

I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a responsible trainer! She has been out of this world with me being in Hawaii she responds quickly and has kept me updated well. I really thank her for that. I have spent way more money to trainers to train my horses with not near the client care she has put into keeping me informed on the efforts with Gadget.

Yeah the blind stifled horse is on his way to recovery~~~~
