Extremely Old Nag!
The place is a bit empty here now that I am down to only two; Merlin, the Tobago yearling and Manny, the two year old; they're kept company by Piglet, a Cevin Z three year old that belongs to a friend but he's also for sale and will be going home before long anyway so I've been looking for a happy hacker for me. I've seen two, tried one but was still looking then quite by chance I saw someone of FB had a rescue available. 
The result is the happy hacker's on hold and I've taken delivery of exactly the sort of pony I've been at pains to avoid ever since I started breeding! Her breeding is virtually unknown, believed to be by an Appaloosa (I don't like spotties normally!) out of a cob mare, a yearling, she's about 13 hands now so should make 14.2, possibly more. I know little more than that she was virtually dumped on friend a week ago along with another yearling that incredibly had a full set of shoes on and was a ride & drive pony! Poor little beggars. They have both put weight on very quickly so you can imagine how bad she was by the pic below.
She seems a sweetheart, almost in a trance, she's shell shocked but in just a few days she's started whickering when I go to her in the morning - but that's food related! Bless her, she only knew what hay was, it's been a slow job getting her to eat hard feed. It was a bit baptism by fire for her; arrived, had flu/tet jab in the evening and next day had a bath to clean off all the sores she had plus an Equest which she wasn't too bothered about. I've also grazed her in hand on the common until she can go out with the others in a few days. I've been out and bought her a fly rug as she has incredibly pink skin to go with her sores and underneath the brown fluff is a lovely blue roan trying to appear which makes a nice change from the standard bay I seem to have had for a few years.
Anyway, meet ??? Still no name, so suggestions welcome! I've come up with Opal, Mayzy, Blossom and Lily but nothing quite fits yet.
This is her straight off the trailer.
This was the next day after her bath.
