Found this on dreamhorse.com, this sounds like a recipe for a horsey disaster... Burlington, Wa 757-0520 Good broke mare. Easy to catch, bath, clip, and load. She is good on the trails, and is not spooky. $150 or best offer. She would also make a good companion horse. Needs some TLC, and needs to go. Link: dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=800914

HC, I will call this woman in the morning to see if the mare is still available. I would purchase her, but don't have a place to keep her. Does anyone know of some room for foster in the Bellingham area? I could pay for her, but can't afford the monthly board, since I have Bella, too. Could rehome later, after she's safe.

I'm in Kingston but can make space available for her. I was worried about having enough grass but even with Ish I still have to much grass.

Hi, OK. Here's the story on the mare. The gal who has her got her from a friend who was going to take her to auction. The mare is 11 years old and is allergic to flies. So, during fly season, she has to be blanketed and face covered. She is missing hair - and has virtually no tail. Has anyone heard of this condition?? The mare is being kept in Sedro Wooley.

Sweet Itch is what her condition is commonly referred to. It can be managed though fly sheets and other protection are very helpful. MTG, the miracle product, can also provide great releif for horses with this condition. My daughter's pony has it but not that severe. Often good nutrition and fly control will really aid this also. I have heard the product War Paint does a great job of controling flies on horses in the pasture.
Horses can be completely useable if this is managed. 11 is young! This horse has so much to offer.

Keep up on preventative fly control may help with the fly numbers hatching on the property. www.rinconvitova.com/

My Arab has the same problem it's really no big deal. there is a product out there created by a rescue thats called calm coat that is supposed to be real good and there is also a shot you can give them which is a pain in the rear, literally lol. My arab rubs her mane and tail every summer she has started again so I will need to start taking measures again.

Kellie, are you going to take this mare? I live in Sedro Woolley. I could go take a look.

Lets see so we have-
Place to keep $$$ to buy her (is that right Kellie or??)
What else do we need? Transportation?
Also if D2M takes her I would be glad to ride her and work with her. Just let me know what I can do to help!
