Save Belgian x Morgan horse from going to auction

I am fundraising to give this handsome guy a loving and leisure life. Hes only 9 years old. Has his whole life in front of him. If he does not sell he will then be moved to an auction. He does have a swollen ankle. Which causes him no pain or discomfort. But he wouldn't be desirable to many buyers at the auction. I don't want him getting lost in the auction world. Worse being shipped out of country for meat.I have all the equipment, tack and trailer ready to go!
