Star

Star, (her new name) has found a home! Her new mom, Michelle, is in the process of arranging transport to bring this lovely girl home to Washington! Some new details on "Star" came to light 

1) Star has only one eye. Whoever did the surgery on this mare did a wonderful job! It is not a new injury, but one that she well adjusted to.

2) Star's registered name (yup, she's registered!) is Jillumimate. She was foaled 1/8/93. She is by Slewvescent and out of Canadian Jill who is by Canadian Gil! 

Thanks so much for helping Star Michelle! We will be anxiously awaiting updates and pictures!

Update 2/20/00 - Star is sooooooooo sweet. I fed her out in her paddock this morning along with the others in their paddocks and she munched away. I had fed her a little light yesterday so she wouldn't try to colic but this morning she definitely wanted her grain and alfalfa hay. While she ate I groomed her. She was such a mess when she arrived that I knew my first job with her was a good grooming with a curry brush. She loved it. She lifted her hooves up for me no problem. She loves to have her face brushed and LOVES apples. While I picked up the messes in her paddock she followed me and nudged me to pet her more. She really likes my old guy.

Just a quick note from Star.

I am doing great. I love my new home and have a roommate. She is a young Dutch filly and we play all day long. The weather in Washington has been great so I have been able to be outside playing everyday. I do have one problem. I keep gaining more weight.

I will write with further info soon. Please give carrots and love and new homes to my buddies I had to leave behind at the feedlot. I know there is a wonderful home out there for them too.

Update 6/9/01 - It has been a year since I have updated you on star. She is doing great. We have not tried any riding as I hurt myself last year and am now getting
ready to get back in the saddle. She has settled in just fine and has a great friendship with my yearling. I am ready to start looking for the next one.
