SPECKLES - 11 y/o - 15.2h - Chestnut TB Mare
Post by foxie on Sept 1, 2006, 2:02pm

Speckles - 11 year old, 15.2h, chestnut TB mare. Speckles looks like she could be pregnant, and she is little over in the left knee. She picks up all four feet and bridles willingly. She is still green probably having been a brood-mare for the past few years. She is a very fancy mare with a great arched neck and wonderful shoulder line.

Per her info.. I was just wondering what "she is little over in the left knee" meant?

I'm posting here and on the main BB - I plan to bail both Speckles and Spirrah in the hopes that someone can board or babysit them until I can get my app approved... so if anyone sees this who could help, let me know. Thanks

Speckles arrived today at 8:45! She got off the truck like a queen, as relaxed as could be. She's currently hanging out in a paddock next to Spirrah, dozing in the warm California sun. She'll go into her pasture in a few days. She came up to me after all the commotion was over, and everyone else had taken off, and rested her head on my shoulder! I couldn't have asked for a sweeter, more beautiful girl. She has an absolutely gorgeous face. As soon as I can, I'll post some photos on the main BB. Meantime, I'm off to the feed store for some supplies, then back out to see my 2 new girls. Thanks to everyone on the board for your support and encouragement!

Had the pleasure of meeting this girl in person yesterday, she really is a doll. Very kind and gentle, the kind of horse you just want to hug.

I met both Speckles and Spirrah in their new home. It was raining and they didn't like our umbrellas, but they are happy and HEALTHY and kicking up their heels!!! I can't wait to see them this spring or summer when it isn't raining!!! Hope is doing a wonderful job with them!

Moved from another location to Gualah's new thread...

[gratefulknits]

Gualala and Pippin had their first dentistry since coming home today. The vet found a tattoo on Gualala! He thinks it starts with a P, which I guess would make her 21. He thinks based on her teeth she's at least that old, but he actually thinks closer to 25. Her teeth were in surprisingly good shape which oddly enough is a huge disappointment to me! She had several very scary episodes of choke a few weeks ago, and I have been praying that her teeth were the culprit. The vet thinks probably not, because they just weren't that bad. That means that most likely she has an esophageal stricture, and that means that she'll keep having problems. I was so hoping for something easily solvable. We'll just have to keep an eye on her and see how she goes. She also blew out a HUGE abscess on Sunday which explains the recent lameness.

My poor darling is just having a rough time of it. Her arthritis is so bad that even on the non-abscessed feet she is limping. As soon as the abscess resolves I'm planning to start her on Adequan injections to try and give her some pain relief. I'll keep everybody posted, but in the meantime my sweetheart could use some jingles. She's had a pretty tough life, been used pretty hard, and now she deserves to be completely at her ease.

[winehorse]

Betrys and I are jingling for her!

[atticus]

Jingles!!! Atticus had a big abscess last summer and poor guy was a hurtin' unit! Speedy Recovery for the sweet girl....and the epsom salt and iodine foot soaking makes it feel ALOT better.

[calypso]

Jingles for Gualah!! Poor girl!

Boy, she does NOT look like she's in her 20's!! Beautiful girl!!

Caly

[sundancer]

Awwww....my poor "niece"...she IS such a beautiful mare! Jingles and good thoughts for both you and her!

[sundancer]

Well, LaLa sure looks content at Michelle's. She is such a doll! I got to see her white speckles! What a sweetie!

[gratefulknits]

She definitely IS happy at Michelle's. She's had no real trouble from her arthritis since living in her nice flat paddock, and she has two BFF's who are also "old biddies". They make a happy little herd. She doesn't have to do much of anything but occasionally come out of her paddock for grooming; I need to work with her separation anxiety more so I can take her out for some grazing, but other than that there are no expectations of her! She is definitely "my beautiful queen" as I tell her every time I see her. (I'm quite sure she knows EXACTLY what I'm saying!)

Stay tuned for some photos which Sundancer will be posting here soon ...

[sundancer]

Here's Gualala!


Isn't she pretty?

[gratefulknits]

There's my beautiful queen! ;D ;D

Thanks, Sundancer!
