Coco aka Ginger
#178.
Sorrell Appaloosa Mare. Appx. 15 - 16 yrs. Appx. 15.1 hands.
This mare
has one eye,
but it does not cause her problems. She was used as a camp horse
because she
rode so well. She is not spooky at all on her blind side (right
side). She
is affectionate and very nice. She would require a Beginner/Intermediate
rider. Lovely mare.
Through
the dedicated efforts of Michael, Keri & Kela, this absolutely
awesome mare has a home!! She will be be going home shortly
to Kela's where she will have the opportunity to be constantly
loved on by children learning about horses. Michael helped Keri
to save this mare because he knew of her love for Appaloosa.
This mare will be a teacher and friend to children who need
to learn how to groom, ride, saddle, pick hooves, etc. She will
give to these folks what most of these horses give so willingly
when they have the chance to be who and what they are.............Unconditional
Love. Thanks Michael, Keri & Kela!!!
Update
9/26/00 - She is doing fine today, our vet diagnosed her with
ringbone in both front feet.
She was given a shot of cortisone and we have special shoeing
done for
her so she is no longer in pain and doing really well. She loves
the kids
and we are using her as our beginning grooming horse for the
lesson program,
right now this is all she does until we are positive she is
fully recovered.
Funny
thing is her best friend and pasture buddy is the paint mare
with what the
kids call polka dots that came out of the same feedlot. Coco/Ginger
is a
great patient old girl, is much loved and a nice addition to
the barn.
