Does anyone know of a 16hh approx grey mare called Lass. had possible bone spavin in hind and wore raised heel hind shoes to help this! dapple grey, talented mare with good jump!

I believe she was ID x TB belonged to a friend of mine but was sent to a dealer along with another horse Benson, 15.2 Grey Heavy cob! Would love to know how either are good or bad!!!!

ah sorry Im in Suffolk but tbh the horses could have gone anywhere! I don't think I have any pics of them but will post if i can find any!

How old was she, where and when was she sold, do you know the dealer etc, and do you have any pictures?

How long ago was this, and did the mare have papers, how old would the mare be now? Sorry for the amount of questions but my friend bought a horse fitting that description and loaned her, never to be seen again, the horse was loaned as a companion and deemed unrideable, last we heard she went down London way.

Ok this would have been about 4 years ago I guess! Winter time. Im not entirely sure how old she was but i seem to remember her being 12 at the time or there abouts (sorry im not much help here) I don't think she had papers but again I could be wrong! She could be quite a fizzy mare and if fed molassed feed she had a tendency to hot up! She also stressed alot and would drop weight quite quickly! Benson would have been 15 at the time so i guess about 20 now!

Jnet do you have any pics of the mare you knew?

The age is right but I dont think the timelines match, yes I have pics, but from what you've said I dont think it can be the same mare, these pics are from six years ago when the horse was first diagnosed with a spavin, she was kicked in the field by my pony in the hock, and then again in the same place, my friend had her at least a year previous to that, she bought her from an irish dealer who I will not mention as I wouldn't even waste my breath on him.

Here's the pics anyway, sorry I dont think its the same horse.

Well without a picture itcould be any number of horses! I have a grey mare who could be the one your describing which i bought from a dealer 2 years ago but who knows where she had been before?

I know i knew it was a long shot and im sorry! if i do have a pic somewhere it would only be a headshot!
