This is a discussion on My new Mare, anyone know her? within the Horse Pictures forums, part of the Horse Pictures, Videos, Artwork, and Contests category
Im new to this forum and I was hoping to find someone who regonizes this mare? She is a 13 year old TB and is 15.3 HH I just adopted her a few days ago, don't know much about her and want to know more of her past and what she has done, where she's been etc. can't get in touch with her previous owner :(
Here are a few pictures of Dawn
I gather that you just a her from a rescue?, if that's the case it will be unlikley that you'll know her past....but.....if she is a ottb she will have a tatto on her upper lip .....with that you can look that up and go from there....good luck
Thanks I'll look tomorrow for a tattoo. No I didn't get her from a rescue Im just unable to get in touch with the lady I just got her from. She was giving her away due to lack of room? She lives about 3 hours away from me so I can't exactly just go over there. And she didn't tell me much about her.
She is a 13 year old Thoroughbred mare.
There was no Tattoo on her upper lip, that I could see today. She does very well during lunging but jumps a bit when you go near her with a bareback pad (haven't tried a saddle yet as I don't have one) I wont attempt to ride her until she trusts me. She did very well today I washed her legs and her tail as they were very muddy and her tail was so knotted it took me about 15 minutes to get them all out. She is looking good though, and it looks like she has gained a few pounds already (pasture owner pointed that out today) still need to get her hooves trimmed as they are very chipped, but im a bit concerned about her rear hoof it looks like it had cracked all the way up then never healed proper as the one piece is slightly growing over the rest, anyone else see this before? Is it serious? She doesn't look as if she is in pain she doesn't limp or anything.
(there is more hoof underneath it as well)
Aww I love TB's, she's pretty. I really like the second picture you posted of her with the kids, very cute. Not too sure about her hoof, hopefully others with more experience in that department can help.
