Poor Clarita

[GTs]

The owner had the follow up heart check and Clarita is no longer a viable riding pony - the owner called me for my input on what is done next. I wish I could quit school and have her as a pet.

 

[frannieuk]

Sorry to hear that GTs

 

[_jetset_]

What is wrong with her heart GTs?

 

[GTs]

She had problems breathing after a game back in September - not sure all the details, a murmur of some sort and the Doc said she should not be ridden again. Second opinion agrees.

 

[seabiscuit]

Oh no

my lovely Clarita!! So she can't even cope with a little toddle around a few fields even???

Have you told owner to get a second opinion?

 

[GTs]

Second opinion got - I do not want her ridden as if she tumbles someone will get hurt. Also she is hot, so it is unlikely it would work out anyways.

 

[Weezy]

Oh of all the shitty news

Big hug to you, I know how far you 2 have come together

 

[S_N]

Oh hun big huggles, don't know what to say tbh! What are the options?

School? GT I thought you were at least 40!

Dont know what has upset me more!

Poor poor pony x

 

[rosita]

Poor you, poor pony,is it a graded heart murmur?(sp!) had a grade 3/4 that threw beautiful foal and seemed to come through it with out any extra problems. Good luck and i hope it all works out.

We are speaking to the local Parelli crowd to see if they know anyone who is a novice looking for a horse for them to work from the ground - Clarita has exceptional manners, is very pretty, and will make a novice look and feel like a confident horseman/women in days.

Although it is quite a change from polo I think she would be a good real life My Little Pony and if she falls over and dies suddenly no one will get hurt!!! PERFECT!!!

Poor Clarita. I hope you can come up with something for her.

 

[brighteyes]

I can't weigh you up at all!

I was going to suggest your friend with contacts at the zoo, but feel there is a soft inside to the 'shoot em dead if they's no use' GTs that we know and expect.................

Poor Clarita, but maybe she'd like retirement. What about a baby Clarita?

 

[Sooty]

I thought that! It's not such easy advice to follow when you are emotionally involved it seems...

Probably wouldn't be a good idea to breed from her.

Sorry GT's that's not great news......

 

[parsley]

This is very sad news - hope that the parelli place can take her on.

 

[Ginn]

So sorry to hear this GTs. Big Huggles to both of you. Hopefully she will make someone a lovely "pet" pony - if you were in the UK she'd be welcome with us as my YO just wats a nice horse to keep stinker company and enjoy cuddles.

Keep us updated, hope is not lost yet...

 

[M_G]

Gts I am so sorry to hear this, could she be used as a brood mare or is a condition that could be inherited

 

[Tia]

I don't really understand what they are saying is wrong with her?

Would not breed if the horse had a problem.

Ofcourse it is different when it is one of yours - the zoo story just cracked me up.....
