OT: Very well bred QH mare in N. California in trouble

2009-05-03 Thread plumg...@pon.net
This message is from: "plumg...@pon.net" 

HI all,

I will try to be brief, but it is a long sad story.  

A friend of a close friend who runs a boarding barn
across the street from our home (and who takes care
of our horses when we are away) bought a well bred,
well trained sorrel, with blaze QH QH mare.  Her
breeding is Big League Player (sire) and out of a
Sonny Dee Bar Mare (I think it is Trows Sonny Gold,l
but am doing this without looking at her pedigree.)

The horse's owner bought her out of what I am told is
a reputable barn in Georga for a very big price and
had her shipped across the country.  While she was
being shipped, there was a terrible ice storm.  The
shipper stopped and offloaded her for two weeks in
Texas...possibly in a place where there was ice.  

After she arrived her new owner rode her and she
began bucking like crazy.  The new owner is an
experienced and good rider and she managed to get off
safely during a lull in the bucking.  This horse was
showed in the east by a 9 year old rider, and won. 
She was trained for western ploeasure and had some
reining training.  On some occasions she has been
ridden OK and she clearly shows her training.  To my
eyes, she is clearly a very finely bred QH, and is
gorgeous to watch move.

The new owner tried various things with her, but she
bucked.  So my friend recommended she go to a small
training barn/cattle ranch to be ridden out in the
hills.  By this time I think she had had some body
work and they figured she needed to be ridden in the
steep hills where bucking is basically
impossible...the horse just keeps going forward. 
Unbeknownst to my friend the trainer at this barn was
separated from his wife and the person training the
horse was his wife. Sometime later they got a call to
pick her up.  It is not clear what happened, but we
think she had her nose tied to her tail, panicked and
went down.  She ended up with a stifle injury, and a
small piece of the tip of her tail cut off.  


A year later I think her stifle may be OK, but she
still bucks.  The husband who was separated from his
wife was persuaded to take her (at no charge...free
lease) , with the idea of breeding her to a very fine
QH stallion that would fit well with her.  The
husband was also going to pay for body work for her
and try to get her in shape to be ridden and sold.

This week the husband called and said he had a report
from the chiropractor to say that she needed $3000
worth of work, and the whole thing was just too much
for him.  My friend will get the chiropractor's report.

In the meantime, the owner's husband had to retire
early due to illness and she also lost access to a
free boarding site (she still had to provide food and
care).  She has no money to take care of this horse.
In fact, she really has no money to even pay to put
her down...which has been one of the options
considered. My friend has no room at her boarding
barn, and I have no room...and a husband who is not
happy with the number of horses we have already.

This mare is a sort of liver sorrel, with long, long
mane and tail and a blaze.  When she holds her tail a
certain way, you can see that she is missing the hair
that should be on the tip of her tail, so the effect
of her long tail is somewhat spoiled, though she
could certainly wear a fall of some kind, I suppose.

On the ground she is quite sweet, though certainly
not the really calm Fjord temperament.

We have not started calling rescues yet, but the N
California rescues are sufficiently overflowing that
they are running subsidized euthanasia clinics.  If
anyone knows of a good option for her, please let me
know privately.  She is currently 9 years old.  She
has never been bred. Right now she is still with the
trainer, but that will have to change fairly soon.  

Gail

I have used garlic for 5 years with great results for fly control.  Several
friends now use it.

Does anyone use a Mylar bit and do you like them?  I am thinking of a 3
piece snaffle for my fjord.

My Boombah loves her Garlic Cookies.  She has two daily either alone or in
her Supplement Soup.  Some people think I'm crazy thinking that garlic will
control the fly problem but so what.  It seems to work for her.

I get the garlic product "Bug Off" in bulk from Summertime, Inc.

GARLIC COOKIES

  1.  2 cups garlic powder
  2.  2 cups Nutrena Lite Balance
  3.  water
  4.  about 1/4 cup molasses

Mix #1 and 2.
Add #3 and mix
Let stand for a half hour or so
Add #4 and mix

Put on cookie tray sprayed with Pam or whatever as the cookies stick and you
may never be able to clean your cookie sheet.  Put about half an ice cream
scoop of dough for each cookie.

350 degree oven at first for about 30", then lower to 300 for awhile, then
250 for as long as necessary.  Time and temp here depends on oven, size of
cookie.  Experiment.


SUPPLEMENT SOUP

Mix:
1.  about half coffee can of Nutrena Lite
2.  handful Norwegian Kelp Meal
3.  "Joint Health"  (Summertime,Inc.) 1 scoop (scoop provided)  2 
scoops is initial first week loading dose
4.  water, enough to mix the dry stuff with the Nutrena.  Too much 
will end up on the ground, dripping out of mouth when head 
raised
5.  a couple of Garlic Cookies if you don't give them at other
times.

I am now using the "Joint Health"  as Miss Boombah was diagnosed at Davis
last week with osteoarthritus of the knee.  Poor little thing.  Before Karen
Keith and I had her she probably had a hard life on a dude ranch in Nevada
with someone I don't care to mention.  I suspect she was "rid hard and put
away wet" on most occasions.  The docs at Davis said "only lite driving and
on level ground and with bute as needed.  Fortunately we have a lot on level
ground and she does need to be worked regularly to help control the problem.

I'm very sad but glad that I have her and that she will continued to be
cared for with love.

Valerie, you probably do feel about 10 times worse than she does, and also, 
 you probably have a dreadful sense of guilt and responsibility on top of  
it.
 
If it would make you feel better, I could probably modify a grazing muzzle  
for you to wear in a show of pony solidarity!!
