I got an e-mail from a friend awhile back that lives where this mare was and she was very worried about her care. I finally convinced her owner to sell her to me. Measha is an 8 year old "Breeding stock paint" but she's not registered and looks more quarter horse to me, I could tell her owner liked her a lot just didn't know a lot about caring for a horse. she's got good weight but no muscle. Her feet are also quite bad and she looks to have had an up and down diet the last few months as her feet have a few ridge's in them, my mom thinks she may have been foundered at some point but its hard to say. My truck is curently at the shop because i was in a car accident (no one hurt and it was only a dent) so im trying to find someone to bring her home. and of chouse i want her out of there ASAP! here are some pictures! i already had the farrier look at her feet and he says the cracked hoof is fine and should grow out in about 10 weeks or so, He said she doesn't need corrective shoes but they would help so im going to have him out again next week when i have her home to do that. feel free to critique her if you like! I'm sorry some of the pics are in black and white... i was messing around with my camera the day before and forgot to switch it back when i was done! lol!!
Her cracked hoof, not sure what caused it. I wont be riding her until its healed.
My mom feeling her over.
She's such a sweet heart! she's going to be so spolied!!
color!! woo hoo!
