i'd imagine the ins co put out feelers for a home for him, as it's not as tho they have facilities for horses. perhaps the question would be put better to the farm that filed the claim. after all, war emblem had a policy paid out on him, but the farm kept him after receiving the money. i'm guessing the farm in this case wasn't interested--and shame on them if my supposition is true. euthanizing him would probably have been the case had they found no one to take him--so to say 'coming close' doesn't necessarily mean he was being lead out the stall door when he received a last minute reprieve. but it sure adds drama to the story.
