And Heeeeerrrrrrrre She Issssssss!!!

Sweet mother of Pearl!!!!

I got pictures today as temperatures soared to at least 25 degrees (downright balmy, isn't it?)....

as Ty, Alec, Zach, Amy, Erich, and Rachel joined me in the barn for all the excitement.

We turned Pearl out briefly to stretch her legs, but when we called her she came right back to the gate. She has a thing for Taser already (even from far away his pizzazz stuns the ladies!!) and he was eyeing her up, too. A couple of the kids commented that Pearl wasn't much for Taser to feast his eyes upon, but she had that special "something" that made him stand up and take notice (oh that TASER!!!!).

So here are the pictures - I should have gotten some of the scar tissue she has on her ankle area that looks as though it may have affected the hoof at one point, but it has not affected her ability to move fluidly and her hoof is not malformed whatsoever. Enjoy, and help me find Pearl a home!

HERE WE GO AGAIN - HELP!

Okay, we got a call today from an Amish man, stating he was dropping off a mare.
Of course you know Craig was not at all happy................I said nothing, hoping the horse would not appear but wanting to help at the same time.

He arrived 20 minutes ago, with a tall gentle Standardbred mare he calls "Pearl". He said she got injured two years ago (ugly scar tissue around front ankle) and hasn't been sound for a lot of road driving. She walked and trotted off sound - put her in the barn to eat. She isn't too thin. He commented the mare was trained English and Western riding before he got her. She is extremely well behaved and gentle...........I don't know her age yet but we are tracing her tattoo.

Please if you are thinking of taking on a great gentle horse she would be the one! Contact me at asapinc@mwt.net or call 608-689-2296.

That's it for today - pictures coming.

HORSE NEAR CASHTON NEEDS IMMEDIATE HELP

Hi everyone,

We have a Standardbred mare who is IN FOAL who needs immediate fostering or adoption.

She is at a farm near Cashton WI - she has been in with a gelding, but also a neighboring stallion broke down the fence last May and bred this ASAP mare - she may be due to foal in May.

Her condition is not good - the adopter reports that despite the feed she has been receiving she has lost a considerable amount of weight. She is extremely thin and with the cold temperatures and her condition we are worried for her well-being. Can anyone step up to the plate to help Breta? We can take her here at ASAP, but would prefer someone to help that does not have 23 other horses already at the farm to monitor and care for. Please call me at 608-689-2296 or 608-792-5126 for contact information for this mare! We need to help her!

As a point of comparison, the photo above is of Bullwinkle and Shay N Telle, both of whom were relinquished to ASAP by the adopter when feed became scarce. This is NOT the case for Breta, who is being cared for and the adopter is a responsible individual who has had Breta for several years. However, her condition is not optimal at this point in time.
