So I've owned Dee for about 2 months now and am trying to piece together a bit of her previous history. I've tried to contact her previous owner on her passport via facebook and am waiting to hear (am hoping I've messaged the right person for a start!) I got her from a dealer hence not knowing much about her.....
Anyway I googled her show name and a you tube video comes up of when she was still with her breeder. She has a foal at foot and would have been less than 3 years old at the time. She looks gangly and like a baby herself in the video. She currently stands at 16.3hh and looks a lot smaller and immature in the video. And obviously unbroken at this point....
I have to confess I was a bit shocked.... it seems odd to me that, as she is obviously a big girl that would need a long time to mature, that she would be put in foal when she was still growing herself.
I understand its a semi-pro breeder she came from and wondered if this is common place in studs of this nature?
Seems a stupid thing to do from my perspective!
