Enchanting Colors Nov 2010



We currently have a really nice mare available for adoption. We've had her since November and we found her in the kill pen at a local auction. She was emaciated and about a 2 on the Henneke scale. You could easily see her hip bones, ribs and spine. We outbid the kill buyer, took her home and fattened her up.  We researched her tattoo and found her name to be Enchanting Colors a 12 year old Thoroughbred mare. She raced twice, winning a $132 then retired to be a broodmare. We were told by the previous owner that there was something seriously wrong with the mare because she just couldn't gain weight. She was kept around for the sake of her foal, then discarded at the auction. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this mare. She ate well and gained weight fairly fast. Within a couple months she started to look like a horse again. We did nothing special with her, other than in the beginning she was fed three small meals daily. She's now borderline fat and thrives on a round bale and one graining per day. We aren't here to pass judgement, we are here to help the horses. Sometimes it's difficult, as I am a very opinionated person and I get tired of hearing the excuses and watching the horses suffer.

The mare, affectionately named Leia, is 100% sound, healthy, and ready for a new home. She is extremely sweet and easy to handle. She has great ground manners and loves to be brushed and doted over. She stands great in cross ties and stands quiet for saddling, bridling and mounting. She lunges well and we've had her under saddle a few times now. Leia will need an experienced rider/trainer to continue her progress. She's a sensitive mare but will be easy to re-train.  She has lovely movement and could excel as a hunter. She stands about 15.2h and has a really nice build. Her placement fee is $400.

If you are interested, or know anyone who is, please contact us at 612-384-6908. This mare deserves her own, loving owner where she can be spoiled and have a job. It really is such a waste for a horse of her potential to just sit idle in our pasture.
