Pics of my two slaughter house rescues...
These are two horses I rescued from being someones dinner. The first one was one of the nicest horses i've worked with. I was 13 when I got him... I took him home put some weight and muscle on him and he turned out to be so sweet and completly devoted to me. I had to retire him due to arthritis in his knees but he still is living a happy healthy life with a friend of mine.
The second one is a mare that came off the track, she was owned by a huge racing farm, she just happend to lose a few races, they didnt want to breed her because of her losing streak so her owner(who I worked for) wanted to slaughter her. I convinced him to let me re-train her as a jumper. She was sold 8 months later and now is a 17y/o kids jumper. Shes doing great. She had a super sweet personality, pretended she hated everything that moved, which is why I loved her even more :D
Okay they didnt load right... the pics that are showing are the TB mare... the other two you have to open /:O are the gelding.

your horses are gorgeous!!
by the way, i think you are a my psychic stripper twin. my real name is, um similiar to your SW name (i'll leave it at that) and your avatar...the first few times i was scrolling around after my long absense and i saw your posts, i freaked out for a minisec cause it looks like one of the photos i took for an ex except except you have (much) bigger boobs! and i've got the equestrian obsession as well and even the hunter/jumper background (though i would never go on an actually foxhunt with a fox present, ha ha). my biggest horse love ever was a rescue TB and i wanted to buy him but the lady sold him to someone else to get him off the farm because he had a bad knee at 5 years old and i guess she thought he would be unsound very soon so she unloaded him. the b!tch. i found out when i came up to ride him, he was gone. i should have sued her. he was so great, when i met him he was afraid of everything on the trail (lots of busy roads and water to cross) but had a good heart (you know, some horses, like people, learn to take advantage). i miss him. :'( i used to compete in college and miss it. now 7" platforms + long shifts at the club + arthritic horse = OHMYGODMYLOWERBACKisKILLINGme.
did i write all that?? :O
Re: Pics of my two slaughter house rescues...
Thanks guys :D
ccgirl... I know how your feelin... I dont own the two rescues anymore, and I had to sell my eventing mare, Cally(where I got my sw name lol) she was my dream baby but she became unsound and I couldnt afford to eat and keep her, she is having lots of sex and babies now :D Shes a happy girl. Its funny how I went from being a farm girl to dancing... never would have thunk it.
I miss my babies... my man is trying to get me back into riding, I am having serious withdrawls but im scared to get back into it because I have a bad habbit of attaching myself to one horse and I get severly depressed when I lose that one horse. It was such a large part of my life, and now I havnt sat on a horse in almost a year. I dont know, we shall see. Anyway im done my ramble...
This is a pic of Cally at one of her first events... ignore my tacky purple helmet cover, it was umm bleached by mistake the day before lol. I love showing off my babies... I miss them all so much :(

Re: Pics of my two slaughter house rescues...
that is awesome Cally! one of my favorite horses, Turbo, was half quarter half morgan and when i first brought him to the stalls i couldn't touch his head nor lift his back feet. he had be a badly abused ropin horse. i devoted so much time and it took about a year to gain his complete trust and was comfortable with other people. gosh i miss him so bad, he was my best friend growing up and i still really can't look at pictures of us, make me sad. my favorite moment was at a local horse show at halloween and we entered the costume class, i sprayed bright green all over, painted a white M on his sides and i rented an M&M costume that matched...i wish i knew where he was now :-(
