Jade
Barn Name: Jade
Breed: Thoroughbred
Height: 15.3hh
Age: 5 y/o
Gender: Mare
Colour: Bay
Health: Underweight, But Gaining Daily, Appears Excellent Otherwise
Lameness: We have found that she is not 100% sound in her front right ankle, likely a racing related injury, we hope to get xrays done soon to see if it is something serious, or something that can easily be repaired
Vices: None
Personality: Friendly. Easy to Catch, Lead, Groom, Trim, etc. Good with Other Horses, Ponies & Donkeys .
History/Training: Racing (she is tattoed), Purchased From Auction
Future/Suitability: We hope to try her out under saddle this weekend, and will update you on how much she knows and what she may be suitable for. UPDATE: well, we have attempted to ride her twice, with no success. she has obviously had something terrible happen to her in the past as she became a completely different horse when we tried to get on her. she is always very sweet to handle and to groom, etc - she never pins her ears or tries to kick. well that all changed when we tried to get on, she began to bite, kick, rear, strike, etc etc. she was good to tack up each time, other than being a little bit girthy. but she is defintely not safe to ride. if someone does want to ride her they will need to start over with her right from scratch. Otherwise she will be suitable as a companion/pet only or possibly a broodmare as long as she is bred to a good quality reg'd stallion, and not be bred over and over again year after year.
Adoption Fee/Purchase Price: $1000. Pre-Summer Sale - If You Adopt Jade (Upon Approval of Application), Pay for Her in Full and Take Her Home On/Before May 25, 2008 - We Will Reduce Her Adoption Fee Down to $500 !!
