Granville
Rescued from a slaughter house, this Zweibrücker gelding has found a new lease on life.
Hello RPSI, I recently purchased a horse that was rescued from a slaughter house. He appears to have a Zweibrücker brand on his left hind leg. I would like to show him with RPSI. Any help or recommendations would be welcome. He didn’t come with any paperwork and his history is unknown. He appears to know a lot, so I’m thinking he must have had some training at some point.
—Thanks, Jane
RPSI: Good News—It looks like we have found your horse! His name is Granville, and he is a 2002 model. Granville’s DNA matches sire Gatsby and his dam JPS Dawn. I’m very happy we were able to verify his identity, and that he has a great new home with you.
Calook
Rescued from the slaughter pen at the local auction, this imported Zweibrücker gelding has found the re- tirement he deserves.
Hello, I’m writing to let you know this horse was sold by an unknown person to a slaughter buyer in the USA. I’ve included the brand and face of this lovely equine in case it was mistakenly sold or perhaps the seller is unaware that the buyer is a kill-buyer.
—Thank you, Lori
RPSI: We have identified the horse—registration # DE 351510468397, bred in Kaiserslautern, Germany, sired by Weinprinz, born in 1997. Te breeder came to the office in Germany today, we showed him the photos, and he immediately identified this horse as the one he bred.

Dear RPSI, Thank you for your help! The horse was adopted by a lady in Colorado whose 2 1/2 year-old daughter named him Calook. He is being boarded and retired in PA. His new family is paying his expenses for retirement and sending him blankets and care packages. He is one special and lucky boy!
