RECOVERED Horse - Duke
#3529 | 18 August 2020
Found Horse Near San Patricio, TX, 78368
Gender: Stallion
Species: Horse
Breed: Paint
Description: UPDATED INFO: The stray horse has been safely picked up! A San Patricio Sheriff’s officer and a horse handler came out today to secure him, so he is officially receiving medical care. It turned out he is an intact stallion, not a gelding, as I first thought, which makes rescue placement difficult. Huge thanks to everyone who helped out today. Now, we still need to find his home. IS ANYONE MISSING A HORSE? This horse is definitely someone’s pet and spent the last month wandering our neighborhood. We are looking ONLY for his true owners. We suspect he might have swum across the Nueces River into Old San Patricio. Please share this post to help us find his family.
ORIGINAL REPORT INFO: I need immediate assistance catching a stray horse that has been frequenting my neighborhood. He appears young and was in great condition until he vanished for a few days and returned with a festering neck wound from barbed wire. Nobody in the surrounding counties, including sheriffs, feed stores, vets, and local Facebook groups, knows who owns him. I have an amazing network of support with a vet, a rescue, and a trailer completely lined up. My only hurdle is that I have no experience roping or catching a horse, and he will not let me get closer than a foot. Looking for the owner to claim him, or an experienced handler who can help us secure him safely so he can get treated.
