Charisma is a stunning big-bodied mare with a large star and two hind socks. Approx 16H and 20 years old. She is tattooed although we could not make it out. She appeared to recently have a foal weaned from her as she was dripping milk still. Charisma has an old but visible bow on one front leg that still had some sensitivity in it on palpation (although she was not lame on it), so we had a hard time finding her forever home.
Finally, a family came out to try out Monica (another CBER horse) for their 12 year old daughter, and the husband fell in love with Charisma.
At the same time, I was contacted by a woman who's friends daughter had tragically died that year. The girl was in 4H and loved horses, so she offered to donate Monica's fee to a 4H home in memory of her friend's daughter.
The family was contacted and told of the offer. We also asked if they would be willing in adopting Charisma, since they were now being given Monica. They happily accepted the offer. Monica and Charisma both now have a wonderful new home with one other mare on 7 acres.
Here is Charisma just after arriving in foster care:
And here she is showing what a lovely horse under saddle she is!:
