Sorry for the ad, but my cousin works in rescue and asked me to pass
this on. If you might be interested, I have several pictures. Please
email me if interested!
Thanks,
Jeannie
***************************
Could you help me network for this horse?
Do you know anyone who would be interested in leasing her? Would you
be?
I would like to find someone to lease her before the foul weather
hits up in the Pacific Northwest. I'd prefer not to transfer title
(sale or gift) at least not at first. She got the short end of the
stick for 3 owners in a row and dodged death twice. I'd like to
retain some measure of control until I'm certain it's a match.
My trainer-friend who has been taking care of her near Seattle is
filling up and needs Rosy to move on. Plus, last winter the cold/wet
weather made it a little harder to keep weight on her. She spent the
summer out on pasture and loved it.
Sadly, I cannot afford more board down here, plus I have 3 horses I
ignore on a regular basis as it is. She's very sweet and personable
and deserves to have someone paying attention to her! Help me find
someone for her!

An update on Rosy 10/22/09 from my trainer-friend ....
"She and I just had a lovely ride in the arena. I tried to get
pictures but it gets dark so darn early these days!!
Rosy is broke. She knows all the things a horse who is broke should
know. She leg yields, turns on the haunches, forehand and backs. She
goes in a lovely frame at trot and canter and does not fall in on her
circles. She has a very soft mouth and is light in the bridle. She is
very bendy and non-resistant. She does not have any of the typical off-
the-track-habits.
As all TB's she has more energy than most horses, but her level of
excitement is very minimal and very controllable. She is NOT herd
bound. I tested that as well.
I believe that she would do well with an intermediate/advanced rider.
She would make a lovely hunter or low level dressage horse. Just a
trail horse would suit her as well.
She is very respectful on the ground and has excellent ground manners.
She drops her head for the bridle and is not cinchy.
I have not seen her get marish or grouchy while in heat.
She stands perfectly for the farrier and a bath, as all good race
horses do. I have clipped her ears, bridle path, legs and face. You
can do this without a halter. No problems with worming or shots.
She has attended the Steve Rother groundwork clinic twice. Once with
me and once with Sharon. She was excellent. No issues with any of the
obstacles. Very willing and easy to work with.
She did have a trailer loading issue when I got her. Not any more. She
loads very well and does not get worked up or paw while in there.
This horse is young and has the rest of her life ahead of her. She
will make a terrific partner. She is a sweet mare and is the first to
nicker a greeting. She craves and loves attention and brushing.
I can not say anything bad about this horse's personality or behavior.
I think she is a very nice mare.
She does wind suck. However, it's only while she is eating. It all but
went away when she was out on pasture this summer and I do believe
that it is related to stall stress and possibly diet. It will subside
with exercise, the proper diet and pasture living.
She is sometimes off in her right front. It's the same intermittent
lameness that she has had since she came here. At some point, it would
be nice to have the money to do a full work-up on her to know exactly
what it is. She is not lame all the time. Just sometimes.
She is current on all vaccines, feet and dental. She is also up to a
good weight even for a TB."
You can call me to talk about her <number provided on request>.
Thank you very much!

Awww, Jeannie... she sounds absolutely, delightful, but another 4-
legged critter to feed around here is *not* in our plans. The *only*
other horse we would take on, is the horse we sold, if she ever needs
a home. Otherwise, I'd snatch her right on up (off and on lameness
and all).
Sorry,
Ruth W. |
