Sorry not really sure if this should be in general or not and wasnt sure what to title it.
My Yard Owner has a horse that she came across when going to view a horse at a yard - a yard where the horses were not getting the best care she ended up coming home with 2!!
I was having a chat with her the other day when she was unsure about things with this mare so i suggested i could put it on here to see if anyone was looking for a horse like her as its imperative she gets a good loving home for the rest of her days.
I havent spent alot of time with Lady but the time i have spent with her she has been very calm and friendly and is good in the stable, good to groom etc
Below is some information i got from Lady's owner my YO -
Lady is 14 years old. Around 15.2/3hh Bay mare. Very kind in the stable, windsucks in the stable and the field (she does this without getting hold of a door or fence etc), does not have good skin. Had abscesses in feet last year but touch wood none recently. Not good to catch in summer. Good turned out with other horses, Not sound behind and judging by the way she has acted when we have put a saddle on her will not be an easy ride! Not sure of her age i will check that one (i can get pics or answers should anyone have any questions)
The owner is keen to do the right thing by this little mare , but i thought if i put her details up on here some one may want to work with a mare like this.

That really is sad, but possibly better than some other options. I think in the over stocked horse world she would be very lucky to get an offer. I wish I had more room - I could offer a temp place but that may just unsettle her and prolong the inevitable. Thoughts with the mare and all concerned.

Thank-you im happy to get a response at all - i just wish there was more i could do , and although it seems that pts is better than some horses get , i sort of cant help but wonder what if she had the chance with someone one 2 one, what could she become?

I's so sorry I've only just seen this - I can't help (just can't afford another or I would) but upping this. Has she tried places like Horseworld? (Not sure where she is in the country?). Poor little mare..

Any luck with finding a home for her yet? Is there a real threat of her being PTS?
Can this horse happily live out 24/7? Is she rugged? Is she OK with other horses? Where is she at the moment?
Are there any other issues or details I would need to know about before taking her on?

Thanks debutante, I haven't heard from the horses owner yet. Will let you know if/when I do. I hope we can save this horse from being killed tomorrow. I can't believe we live in a world where this sort of thing seems to happen

Have you rung Elaine to see whether she has anyone waiting for a companion or project? I have had a few enquiries from the feature in the local paper, but they want first horse or easy to catch.
