I know this is prob a shot in the dark but I can't not post here. :)

A friend of mine sold a very loved horse when she got terrible health news and didn't think she'd be able to afford his care any longer. She sold him to a woman under the verbal agreement that she would get first buy back chance...well, she didn't and later found out her horse was sold and the woman wont give her any information. Last she heard the horse was purchased at HITS ocala to a woman or girl in New Jersey. He was sold for around 80k and was originally purchased from my friend to be a hunter. (So we assume he's showing as a hunter at the very least) My friend misses and loves him terribly (says it was the biggest mistake she's ever made) and just wants to know that hes okay.

So...maybe one of you have seen him before or may know people in the show circuit that may have seen him.

Tristan is a 2001 bay TB gelding has a star that looks like a perfect C, one hind sock
his Dam is She At Sea and his sire is Island Whirl
He was sold to a trainer in North Carolina (I have her name but decided I wouldn't post it here) in Feb of 2006- about 8 months later he was apparently sold at HITS

He is gorgeous! That sucks that the lady sold him without saying anything to your friend! I really hope she finds him.
