This is why we do our background checks.
How heartbreaking!!! š š
Over the last few weeks I went from thinking this mare had went through a couple sets of hands, was abused, neglected, underfed, and needing to be rescued which we did... I however tracked a paper trail and details I could get my hands on from source to source and found out that it was much worse. Longer. Sadder. Even more heartbreaking!! How does this happen to a proven lesson horse? š¤ maybe these people didnt realize what all she was, the training she had... she was never given a chance clearly or they would've found out how incredibly sweet she was! How she was a gem and a very well broke horse!
Timeline:
We sold her in 2021 to a family
Sept 2024- sold from the owner we sold her to to a training barn
Training barn/owner sold her almost immediately to a lesson student
Lesson students parents flipped her right away at an auction
Was sold to a big flipper
GRAY area for several months
Flipper sold to a "rescue" that came over and bought several we were told. Sept 2025
GRAY area where she was likely ran through addtl auctions
She then ended up at another auction and was sold to an amish man Spring 2026 in Wisconsin
Amish man found our contact information on her papers, called, and we rescued her back, paid for her, and sent a transporter to go get her
It's so sad watching a horse act so grateful for the basics- water, food, grooming etc. These were basics she should've never been deprived of. Annie has settled in really well. She now looks up when eating instead of having her head low the entire time. She trusts and respects everyone despite everything shes been through. Because of this we know she wont have an issue finding a forever family! We are in no rush but open to conversating about her as we wont home her to just anyone. It must be a forever family. No broodmare home we want her to finally have that person of her own, be spoiled, have a job, get all the extra cuddles, peppermints, and loveā„ļø Annie is absolutely darling!! š
