AMH ID Number: TN1
April 2009
Lot: 1
Mini Stallion
Found:
Dumped
in the Antioch area (southeast suburb of Nashville)
Current Status: Ads for "found pony" have been running for two
weeks:
"No one has claimed ownership of the pony found running the street & in
my
hayfield
on April 25th. The pony is a mini stallion (probably 34"---haven't
measured him) $150
is to cover my fence repair/labor because he went under
my fence &
chased my mares
through it. If not adopted out to a qualified
experienced responsible
horse person
by
May 5th, I'll let animal control come
& take him---no, they won't put
him to sleep
but if you want him,
you'll have to deal with them."
