Hi there. To make a long story short, my mother is putting my old mare, Peaches, down on November 13th. Granted, Peaches is 29 years old, but she is in no need of being put down yet, she's still a vibrant, happy horse full of life (she acts like she's a 14 year old horse). The only reason is because she doesn't want to deal with Peaches another winter. See, last year, Klamath Falls had a really bad winter, and she's basing this winter off that winter. (Klamath falls is where Peaches is located.)
I look in my horse's eyes and I can assure you, she is not even ready to leave. She's so happy and spunky for an older horse, if she is saved from this fate, I see her living a few more happy healthy years. She loves to be ridden, she loves attention, and she LOVES CHILDREN.
She is not deaf, she is not going blind, and she is not lame, she has a good, smooth gate. She isn't even stiff in the slightest. Just today, I took her to the wildlife refuge and we rode together for a good three hours. She is also bombproof. As we where walking in an area, I didn't even notice a pheasant right in front of our pathway. At the last moment, the bird flew up in front of Peaches' face with such a loud commotion, and Peaches, didn't even flinch, she continued on.
Please, if anyone of you know of someone who would love to take on this sweet deserving mare, let me know ASAP. She's a piece of cake. I would if I could, but the only reason she's in this horrible boat is because I am jobless, and can't save her myself.
She has done it all, 4-H, (qualifying for state fair every year) FFA, TEA shows, Dressage, some jumping in her past. She is retired now, and prefers to keep it that way, reminiscing on her glory dayz. She is still, however, a wonderful schooling mare and pasture buddy.
The GUIDELINES for her would be:
She NEEDS a decent barn, she needs soft shavings or straw to lay in and be comfy, she will need her alfalfa pellets soaked for her to chew better, but she can still eat hay and alfalfa hay easily. If the winters are harsh, a heat lamp might be necessary, but she hasn't needed one yet, though she'd prolly enjoy it. She comes with a waterproof blanket.
She loves attention, so an hour or so a day set aside for her would boost her spirits. She loves children, so if you knew of some kids who admire horses..... She enjoys her rides, but I wouldn't put anyone over 150 lbs on her back (respect the grandma). She can be trusted with a baby on her back even. She's even happy with being a pasture decoration, as long as you give her the attention, but she MUST have a barn. She would also love another animal companion, as in another horse, pony, goat, cow, donkey, llama... something that also lives in the barn. She's dealt with piggies too, but she won't talk to them much, she doesn't understand piglatin.
A pasture would be nice, so would an indoor arena, so she can enjoy her rides all year round.
Please act fast, she is a truly wonderful spirit, and not "just a horse" and she doesn't have much time left..... the 13th! If you know of anyone, I could get mom to cancel her death, but only for that. if it doesn't turn out,then her destruction will resume. Please be bonafied.. and please mean to save her life.
thank you for your time, much love.
email me or call me at
KIT 503-515-5719
(I also ask for visitation rights of course, and I'd be happy to give lessons with her)
If I don't answer, I'm most likely riding or spending time with her. Mom, would most likely not want to haul her, so either you could haul her in your trailer, or hire a professional horse hauler, we have a few numbers if you don't know anyone.
(the pictures where taken this summer around the 4th of July)
P.S.
I have been down here since the 2nd of November with Peaches, and I think I know why she has her crappy winters. One, they don't give her shavings or straw, or padding of any sort in her stall, just cold hard floor, they also don't up her feed when the weather drops, (it's already snowing down here, and all they give her is one flake of hay in the morning, and one at night with 1/4 can of alfalfa pellets.. that's it) Now, she's an older mare, 29 years old. When they get that age, they need some babying. A heat lamp would help out, some soft shavings, and upping her feed a little more would help too. My mom cares about Peach, but she just doesn't get it.
