introducing sasha

[mistonia]

this is sasha, shes a 16h four year old black and white mare. Her dam was an x race horse and her sire i think was a cob. She came into be brought back into work and sold, and we fell in love and brought her. She needed an understanding home as she was very nervous and untrusting of people. when we were restarting her we were pretty sure that no one had been on her regardless to what he was told. I phoned her x owner up and said did you ever see anyone on your mare and he went no they sent her back saying there was nothing more they could do with her, they had her trotting and doing small poles. Knowing he was gonna throw her out for the winter and forget about her, he also mentioned that they had her for 4 months, i thought it was suspicious. anyway we sent her back after two weeks of lunging her and still bucking like mad at the saddle and several attemps of her going mad when trying to lean across her back. got her back again about 3 weeks later and continued where we left off and at the end of the first week we managed to sit on her, and took another four weeks of walking and trotting slightly on the lunge. well we have just started canter work and small poles, though still don;t know the min shes gonna take of bucking and leaping about. we had a lesson and was chatting to our R.I and mentioned our new horse, and she went i know that horse she was at a local sj yard where i had my horse all winter getting broke. we were puzzled as the horse was sent else where for breaking by the x owner. well turned out that the international eventing yard had attempted to back her and couldn't so sent her off to an international sj yard to get backed and they couldn;t as she was too nervous and just went crazy so sent it back to the eventing yard unbroken who then returned it home unbroken knowing they could blag it off. funny the owner had said when we were trying to help him catch her you would never think she had been broken just trying to catch her. we did her full sister who was even more nervous couple years before and the owner was surprised that we ever got her done but just took an extra week of backing, and she needed the same kind treatment from the start which she wouldn't of got. She needs a lot of topline which is getting there as she was a little light when we got her.
