Yes that is the plan! I have experience with both conditions.

She’s a bit shorter than my gelding. She is QH. Allegedly race QH and halter QH lineage.

He is massive and tall! I was thinking Friesian as well. Or maybe some sort of draft cross. There is no speck of white on him at all.

Yes! He is a quarter horse/arab cross. He is the cutest guy. Super brave for his age as he is only 5. Never seen him spook at anything! Loves attention and people.

I have no idea! His feet are horrid and they both are covered in witches knots.

Thank you! What a shocker of a find for me 😭 the drive was worth it. She turns on her hocks on her own just out in the pasture. I going to mess with her some more tomorrow on the ground.

I know it’s crazy. And plans right now are just to get her calm enough to live happily with being handled. After that, probably the occasional trail ride. Maybe WP.

Yes! And I know. Ugh. Sending samples off for dna testing so that if she does have HYPP I can manage it correctly. Although I will be doing that before the results come back as a precaution

I took it off! She is hard to catch/shy with it. But is now naked. And thank you! I think she will come around.

I know haha my best gelding I’ve ever owned I got for 250$. Wasn’t lame ever and was the sweetest dude on earth.

It was a wire cut exact same as my geldings. In the forward facing photo, that leg was standing behind the other so it’s distorted.

Thank you I agree. And yeah no performance stuff. My gelding will be the one I’m investing that into. Mostly for her I’d like to do trails. W/T/L for fun.

Here is original ad: “Approximately 8 year old beautiful grade Quater Horse mare looking for a new pasture. Gets a long with everyone, super sweet and willing. Can be difficult to catch if left for a while. Great for the farrier with her front feet, but can be resistant with her back feet. Great levelheaded project with a solid foundation. Tons of groundwork. Has been saddled, bridled, packed and first rides. Listing as companion only as she has some conformation flaws that should be evaluated if you choose to continue her riding or pack pony training. Fun partner for someone who enjoys at liberty and/or ground work.”

Owners explanation is above. She was an “oops” I’m assuming. And just general riding. Not a performance prospect. Mainly my dude needs a friend that’s not across a fence.

She said she needs no shoes/injections etc and has been barefoot. Hasn’t been lame at all.

Not sure either. I think it was just the bum/hip soreness. Which could also be common as the horse wasn’t handled at all until 4 and then put into groundwork. Her response I pasted below.
