Honestly I have no clue what she is. I do slaughter horse rescue on a small scale (1 @ a time), & I got her off the feedlot. To those that do not agree with this please do not take the time to chew me out. If I find a horse that I believe I can give a 2nd chance I will.

At first glance I thought she could be a Laguna mustang except that when I got her she was already used to people handling her. Normally when Laguna horses get run through the auction, or are on the feedlot, they are right off the range & usually pretty beat up.

Now after watching her finally gallop around & really move I have no clue what she could be. She carries her tail & head like an arab, but she high steps & has hock action that reminds me of a saddlebred or some type of gaited horse. Id like to get her breed tested, but I need to sort through my contacts & get a hold of the person who knows the folks that do it. If anyone has ever seen that old black & white show Ma & Pa Kettle: "one of these days..." lol . All I know is that she is approx around 1 or 2 years old & is currently around 11-12 hands. I havent measured her. What ever she is I love her. She is the rescue I plan to keep. Ive always wanted a grulla, & I do not think I could have found a better one to work with.

Just for some background, my DH passed away 12 years ago, we had 6 horses 68 acres, assorted dogs and cats. I ended up selling most of horses and the farm, just could not do it, my mother sick at the time too. Anyway, I am now stuck in suburban sprawl, with two cats and 4 hens. That's my life story. 

 

Good for you, and your pheasants are fabulous!!

 

Im sorry about your husband & farm .

Thanks! I love being able to give each horse I get a 2nd chance, & I love working with them. I wish I could do the slaughter rescue on a larger scale but for now its one horse at a time.

The pheasants are technically domestic ringnecks gone wild, but I love having them around. Their not mine, more like the neighborhood's lol. They usually only show up during the winter which I find odd but... Hopefully one of these days one of the hens will be running around with a couple of chicks following
