MISSING EQUINE Buster

Note to NetPosse - 7/12/2004 2:20:19 PM Eastern Standard Time
We still haven't made any headway with Buster. This is the story of a horse being pastured on someone else's property. The family had talked to us about buying Buster but no contract was ever made up and we weren't sure we wanted sell him. About 3 months later we told the 
family that we were going to pick Buster up and bring him home to take care of his Coggins test & West Nile vac., but we got the run around. Finally, they told us that Buster was no longer with them because they traded him for a Jeep. We have been in contact with the 
original owner of the Jeep (through the license plate number) and he states he does know where the horse is but will not tell anybody until he is reimbursed. The family who traded him came over and offered to make payments...which will take almost two years to pay in full. We have been in contact with the local authorities and of course this is a civil case so we have filed all the necessary paperwork and done all we can do. We are very worried that we will never see Buster again. He is a purebred  Thoroughbred but we hadn't registered him. He is a 4yr old, solid Bay, he is small for his breed and has a small hoof dent in his neck. He was pastured in the Manor/Webberville Texas area.
