Just found this thread. My goodness what a gorgeous horse she is! And THANK YOU all for saving her from what can only be described as hell on earth. I am so hopeful that she has a good future ahead of her.
Please let us know how she continues to do!

Haley's now ready to go (experienced, TB-savvy adopter at this point though). Teeth floated, feet done, vaccinated, wormed. Sound and in perfect weight (if not a little chubby). Adoption Fee: $600. Aw shoot  Since the first reports were that she was great on trails I was crossing my fingers that she would be a little more beginner friendly (*coughsmeaningmecoughs*). She'll make someone a fantastic beautiful project!  |

She looks great under saddle. She looks like she will make a great horse for a special someone.

I'm planning on including Haley in my monthly newsletter as rescue horse of the month. It doesn't go to many people at the moment, but every bit of exposure counts right? Heres what I have written up for her, let me know if there are any corrections needed or if I need to add anything. Its mostly back story
What do you think? ;D

Sounds great Liz! The only correction I would have is that Haley is 16.2, not 16.1. |

Dr. Hannah has volunteered her time to work with Haley, and if she does well, ride her at the SAFE show (thank you Hannah!). Dr. Hannah is a very confident rider who loves a challenge, so she was willing to see if she could get Haley through her "issues". She rode her today and sure enough, Haley tested her as well and started balking, throwing her head up in the air, and reared a couple of times. But Hannah was kind but firm, and kept working with her, and soon she gave it up and actually did really well. She doesn't know a lot and probably has no formal training, but she showed a lot of potential, as the following photos show! Getting ready...again, she was easy to saddle and bridle and lunges like an old pro. She stands nicely for mounting and shows no sign of nervousness about any of it:      At the walk:     And the trot:        You can certainly see the potential dressage horse in this photo!  |

I LOVE the head shot of Haley. What a beauty! And how fun to get a little peek into the equestrian side of Dr. Hannah! She's amazing too Thank you so much for taking such an interest in Haley. It's clear you deeply care about her welfare and future. She's a lucky horse indeed that you found her and took up her cause. It's wonderful watching these horses blossom step by step. |

I am revving up the video camera...

A couple of photos of Haley at Jean's, when she was called "Angel". This is Haley and her colt from two years ago I think. He died a month prior to the seizure, around the same time as Seas the Golden Day. He did not die of starvation, although he was surely starving. Apparantly he had been injured in the fencing, and AC ordered a vet come out and either treat or euthanize the horse (he was called Halo). When they came back the next time, they found him dead, and it appeared he had been "euthanized" with a sledgehammer to his head. (this was the gruesome story I have hesitated to tell as I wasn't even sure it was true, but it has since been confirmed). I notice Haley's tail was cut off - and I have seen that with a lot of the Elledge horses. I think she did this because of the rampant diarrhea on the property (instead of, of course, just WORMING the horses..). Haley did have diarrhea when she came, but it has since cleared up.   Here's another photo of her in the background. The horse in the foreground is April's Bright Wind (April), same horse I posted on Hope's thread, the dam of the Arab/Appaloosa yearling that Sno County has and the mare that is believed to be one of the dead from the Carnation property. She is pregnant with Dory (the Sno County horse) in this photo.  |

That is so gruesome.
There is a reserved spot in hell waiting for this horrible woman.

 I can not say what I think of this woman I do not understand why people have junk in their horse fields that can injure a horse. For Petes Sake, picking up junk in the field is free. It only costs a little bit of time and can save hundreds of dollars in vet bills. Or even the life of a horse.
