It's a real longshot but i'd really love some history for my mare. I brought her in Jan this year from the Halesowen area of the West Midlands from a dealer i believe is called John Webb. I think he had her for approx 12 months, (may have been longer) before i had her. Her name is now Gem but we called her this as dealer was unsure of name. We believe she is TB and dentist thinks she is 12 years old. She's brown (at least i would call her brown not bay as has brown mane & tail) and has a white star & snip on face, white sock on near hind and white coronet on off hind. Her near hind hooves are also stripy but not noticed any others to be. She does have quite a few bad scars on hind legs too. No freeze mark or microchip (that the vet could find anyway) She has a passport somewhere i believe but dealer said he'd lost it and couldn't remember who it was with so whether that's the case or not i dont know. I'm desperate to find out some history for her as i dont even know her real name! She's very cold backed but we're working to overcome that. There dont appear to be any physical causes now but would be interesting to know if there have been any problems in the past. She has a fantastic jump & bombproof in all traffic (lorries, tractors, quad bikes, cement mixers!!). She's good to handle on the ground but i would say she can be quite a character! ( throws rugs off wall if i'm taking too long making breakfast, pulls back & breaks twine when tied up for no apparent reason then stands there etc, knocks tools over with her nose, kicks feed bucket around...) and makes very sure you know if she doesn't like something! She seems very distrustful of strangers however i've had her 5 1/2 months now & she is a very sweet & honest mare, she just knows her own mind. Lunges well, mostly from voice commands but can be a bit lazy. Great for farrier & loads herself, good for dentist, physio, & to vaccinate so i'm sure she's had other loving owners in the past who've done lots with her as she's definitley seen all of these people before.
I think thats all i can tell you about Gem. If you think you recognise her at all or any of this sounds familiar please get in touch, i'd love to know what she's done before i had her.
