Meet Pearl, New Horse

[catjac1975]

I've had those kind before. I had to give up on two geldings, they were ok on the ground but dangerous demons to ride. I sold them with full disclosure to some cowboys that thought I was "female" and didn't know what I was doing. They sure regretted their purchase, but I told them. snicker, snicker.

I have a mare that was badly abused, it took much patience and time to gain even a tiny bit of trust. She is 31 years old and still shies away. It took 12 years before she asked for attention. She moves away from me, but will come to me if I have a brush in my hand LOL. I know the issues I can deal with and I also know when to cut my losses and move on. I am looking forward to getting to know this little mare. And thanks for the "hearts".

A joke from another thread regarding a few of us old ladies fighting over him because he is such a kind human . There are a few roadblocks, one being my husband.

Bay this is a happy story! Congratulations on a new "heart" horse! Another horse with a bright safe future, I love it.

Pearl is a great name for her, and with all the attention you will shower her with she is going to glow.
I'm so excited for you!

Our husbands could be brothers...we joke about how mine "made" me get Syringa. We are pretty spoiled, don't you think? Haha

 

[thistlebloom]

You must be on the way home with her now!

 

[baymule]

Almost home!

Meet Pearl, New Horse

... a strawberry roan TW mare named Jane...

I'm beginning to feel some kind of family relationship to the Tennessee Walkers!

Here is my Pearl Jane, on the 90th anniversary of her birth:



November 20, 1982

Loaded up.

Pearl is in quarantine on the Pig Palace, now named the Horse Hotel. She has hay, water, shelter and a little moving around room. She hasn’t stopped eating hay yet.

 

[thistlebloom]

Yay Pearl! Your life has just taken a golden turn!

 

[baymule]

Pearl is going to get free feed hay and all the fresh water she wants. We got her a mineral salt block. This evening I will start giving her pellets, a cup or two, and increase it daily.

 

[canesisters]

OH! The excitement!
I'm SOO happy for her and for you.


(You know, her coat pattern will likely change quite a bit over the next year. Take LOTS of pictures)

how is she with you friendly or scared ?
