More truth revealed by BLM.
I guess while running the freeze brands again, it turns out my horse "Sheeza Hottie" was previously adopted out. She was reposessed due to "lack of ability to care for" so that could mean anything but it doesn't sound pleasant to me. There are various degrees of "lack of ability to care for" I am just wondering if this helped or hindered my chances? Does it sound like my horse had "limited gentling" I don't know but it doesn't sound like it was done at a professional trainers facility or by a professional or they wouldn't have had to reposess her. So, there you are for some reason both possibilities of adoption happened to me. A horse I had in training competed with me and then my horse was reposessed due to "lack of ability to care for". I can't even begin to believe it the odds of it! I can tell you she wasn't easier due to her prior experience she was difficult just the same but that could explain her stubborness! It could have been human taught by someone other than me. Woo hoo, scapegoat!

Good golly...what are the odds? I think this is something that several of us has asked ourselves when we've picked up horses for these events. Sandy appeared to have a grown out bridle path when I got him last year (also a Ridgefild horse) and I wondered...but then figured no way. Not so sure now! Not that it matters; both he and Hottie are great horses, eh?
ReplyDeleteLooks like this may be something the BLM is going to have to be very careful about in the future. Of course, with new events cropping up here and there, the corrals will need to have plenty of advance notice so they can hold back horses that fit the specifications set by MHF.
What's done is done. I think you did a great job with Hottie. You dedicated your time and heart to her. You brought her back home. In the end, that's should be the real goal - good, loving homes.
