What a gorgeous mare! She is now ready for adoption. Sound and ready for training. This is a NICE mare people!!

If you are interested please contact Heidi / (halfwayhome) here on the board !!

wowza!! Who is she? What was her lot name?

[gratefulknits]

Hmmm, do you think I need a third chestnut mare?

[halfwayhome]

This is Shannie who came off the lot last September, she was bailed along with her foal by a very kind lady and her daughter in CA. Once she is adopted we can reiumburse that lady and she may recycle the money to rescue another. I have had them for 9 mos, the first pics are when they first arrived at my house. They were thin, hungry, malnourished, wormy and getting sick with strangles. My husband and I nursed them thru all that and then weaned the foal this spring, he is being gelded this Friday. We are planning on keeping him for now as he almost died when he was first here and we are attached to him. He is now halter broke and friendly and we will get new pics soon of him.
Shannie was recently put on pasture here with some new friends. I am hoping we can find Shannie a good home now. Shannie is healthy and sound and just had her feet freshly trimmed and has been just wormed again. The farrier said she has really good feet, hard- and good hoof wall, not like many TB's! She is an incredible mover and has beautiful suspension at the trot when animated. She could easily be a dressage prospect. She is a sweet tempered mare and will automatically pick up her feet for the farrier, etc. She has a lip tattoo that is a bit hard to read, but it looks like it begins with a"U" which would make her a 1991 mare or 15-16 yrs old, so she was at least track broke at one time. Lovely mare with beautiful head and neck and very flashy. I am not asking anything for her care, which we provided for, but her original bail price would need to be paid to give to her original "saviour".

I always wondered how things turned out with those mares and foals...Thanks Heidi, for the update on this pair!

[agilitygal]

That one is a real looker!

[djrepp]

Wonderful job Heidi. Can you share a picture of the baby?

[halfwayhome]

[Charsgma]

[hystyle]

BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to see what the little guy looks like now!

[halfwayhome]

I am still looking for a home for this lovely mare. I do have some pics of her foal now too, can someone post them for me? He is doing great and was recently gelded almost 3 weeks ago, never swelled or had any problems from the procedure and did fantastic! I am hoping to get some pics this next weekend of her moving, as she is so lovely. Please pass the word around on this gorgeous mare! Thanks

What a pretty girl and she does definately look like a dressage horse.

[sunlightslady]

OHHH I like her...

[dustyboots]

Update?

[sunlightslady]

I went and looked at Shannie today..... What a beautiful horse. She was great around my 4 yr old daughter and was a love bug when you petted her. here is a couple of pics. She would make a great horse for anyone. She is well put together and did I say beautiful.......WOW!!!! All of the horses at Heidis were friendly and gotta say she has some pretty horses...Thanks for having us over Heidi. ;D

[atticus]

WOW she is a flashy gal isn't she!!

[icehorse]

This mare is one of my favorites. It's amazing how much they can be part of your life and not ever have even met them(these rescue horses). I was at the fair the other day watching the races and I always like to look at the horses before they run-Anyhow, picked this beautiful TB because he looked like Shannie, well, he came in first, 3 lengths ahead of everybody...too bad my daughter had to go to the bathroom and I didn't have time to bet on him.

[sunlightslady]

I am waiting to hear that my gelding sells this weekend then I can get her

UUGHHHH they dont want to drive 3.5 hours with out first having the vet exam done. Now I have to wait another week!!! Might as well get the coggins done at the same time. I am so bummed!!!!!!

[icehorse]

LUCKY you!!!

[shannonandinca]

If Shannie doesn't go to Sunlightslady please let me know, I'll show the pics to a friend of mine and see if its a match. She's ready for another horse, hers is about to retire.

[halfwayhome]

Shannie is still available!

[NanciK]

Heidi - I posted a photo ad for Shannie on Bay Area Equestrian Network today. The contact is your email address.

Please let me know if you get any "hits" from my ad!

The title reads: BIG-BODIED TB MARE SPORT HORSE PROSPECT, and I used the bottom photo in post #18.

[hytyme]

Just keep looking at this girl....She is gorgeous! And what a deal for someone. Reconditioned, UTD on everything. (We have her on our list of fabulous horses available elsewhere!) Someone is going to be VERY lucky!!!

[halfwayhome]

THANKS you guys! Will let you know!

[sunlightslady]

I am so sorry I cannot get her I am limited to one horse and my horse did not sell the lady couldnt pay for all the taxes and transportation to Canada. I hope that Shannie finds a gret home she is really nice horse.

Try a "spotlight ad on Horsetopia" I have been posting ads for the feedlot horses, they allow you four pictures and it boosts the ad to the top of the search. Has been working pretty well.
