Here is information about a mare that needs a home or her owner is going to have her euthanized because she can‘t afford to keep her. She is 7 years old. We sold her as a weanling. At that time she had done some winning at halter. I owned her dam, sire, and all four grandparents. Her dam is a halter champion and a reserve champion in hunter pleasure. She has also been shown successfully over fences. Her sire was only shown a few times, but did place every time. Her grandsire was the 1993 Canadian National Reserve Champion Arabian Working Hunter. Both granddams were unshown. I am enclosing a pedigree. We registered her as Darq Kayleena. I don’t know if she has officially changed her name since she has a different name on the flyer. Pictures of some of her ancestors can be seen at www.allbreedpedigree.com. (http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/index.php?h=darq+agent&g=9&query_type=photos&search_bar=photos&inbred=Standard&x2=n&username=&password=&x=0&y=0). There are also pictures on the Crabbet Arabians group on yahoo.com site. I have pictures of her sire, dam, and grandparents that I can email to anyone who wants to see them.
Her owner said she has had some lameness issues with her front feet and a cut on her hind leg which will probably scar. I called the veterinarian who treated her. He has not seen the mare since she was 3. At that time, she was sore on both front hooves. He said she had thin soles and was trimmed very incorrectly. He took x-rays which were normal. He recommended putting shoes on her and trimming her correctly. It’s not something where the horse is in pain all the time. Since I have not seen her, I can’t guarantee how sound she may be, but it didn’t sound like anything too bad. The injury to the hind leg is a cut. The vet said the owner called about it and made an appointment to look at it, but then canceled the appointment.
The mare was ridden a little at 3 and 4, but hasn't been ridden since. They have led children on her. Her owner says she's great about clipping, leading, loading, being trailered, bathing, and will stand tied for hours.
I’m sure she would be suitable for a broodmare or a lead line horse. Beyond that, I don’t know. With the proper hoof care, she could possibly do more, but with out seeing her or having a vet check her thoroughly, I can’t say more than that. I suspect that may be all she needs. She has excellent Crabbet bloodlines. All the horses in her family have excellent, friendly, people loving dispositions.
The mare is currently located in Yakima, WA, but we are planning a trip up there the end of March and could pick her up then. The owner agreed to keep her until then. We would bring her to our Aumsville facility and she could be picked up here. I can’t keep her and my husband would be more enthused about hauling her to Oregon if I had a home lined up for her. If anyone is interested in her, please contact me at 503-749-2780 or 503-931-1568. Please help spread the word. This mare deserves a good home.
