He needed 3,000 euros to avoid the slaughterhouse for his horse, a generous donor from Monaco saves him
It was Priscilla’s last-ditch call. In our editions of this Tuesday, we relayed his SOS to repatriate his former racehorse from Malta, where the current owners live who bought the equine from his father two years ago.
“He is injured in the leg. He will end up in the slaughterhouse”, she assures. Then began a race against time since the boat in which the animal was to embark left Malta on Wednesday. It was urgently necessary to find a little more than 3,000 euros to pay for the purchase of the horse and its transport to Nice, where it is expected that it will have happy days on the grounds of the association Cheval libre 06.
The amount reversed upon arrival of the horse
And it’s chosen done! “A generous Monegasque donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has paid the full amount needed”confides Frédérique Goutard, the president of the association which offers refuge to retired racehorses.
It takes as proof the transfer order which was made in the name of Cheval Libre 06. “The sum will be fully reversed to Priscilla on the day the horse arrives, as requested by the donor.”
This Wednesday, the 30-year-old assured that the carrier had taken the road “around 3 o’clock” the same morning with the horse on board. “I received a video where we see him getting into the truck.”
And to continue: “I am very touched by the people who contacted me and I thank this generous donor. It’s beautiful to see that. I didn’t think that people like that existed.”
According to the latest news, the carrier should arrive at the Cagnes-sur-Mer racecourse “Friday or Saturday night.”
