In Search of a Senior Thoroughbred

I am on a Facebook page and made a post trying to find a horse I owned. We were having a hard time getting the post to share, so I am putting it on my blog

This is a long shot. But I am hoping someone can help.
Back in 2010, My military family had to move to Alaska. Which meant I had to sell my horse. Ever since then I've been trying to find him. I sold him to a family and they had emailed me in 2011, saying they didn't want him anymore. Before I was able to work out details for a family friend to pick him up, they sold him. I know he might not be around anymore, I just want to know where he went and if he was happy. If he is still around, I would love to have him back. He was my best friend and it killed me to sell him.
I don't know his registered name, for it was changed before I got him. But his show name was Second Stride, we called him Strider. He's English trained, hunter/jumper.
He's a senior, black (bay during summer, he loved to be in the sun) thoroughbred gelding. Only marking is a small white star. He stands around 17-18 hh which was unusually tall for his breed. I sold him in the Fayetteville, NC area. The last time I heard of him, he was boarded at a small farm in Raeford, NC called Saddletree Farm (there are two in NC). The owner of the farm at the time was a German hunter/jumper named Melissa Carr. She came and rode him before the new owners bought him, to see how he was trained. She said he was perfect.
