Danny Rosezon

The new girls name is Danny Rosezon AHA # 424648  and I might keep her.  I really like her and her pedigree is "nice"...    I would like to breed her to Sureyn this year and see what they will produce, am thinking "nice"! ! !  She is 22, had one foal in 04 and its gorgeous.  The story on her is that her owner, Heather, gave her to this gal in Cold Springs NV... Heather paid for her transport, plus gave her to this gal.  Gal got the horse there and started stating on her arrival that said was she was too short, her nose was funny looking, her neck was not a good one and really, she should be used to breed ponies not purebred arabs... As the picture above shows, even in her thin state, she shows a nice hip, well set neck and beautiful head.  As for short... welllllll... Arabs were bred to be between 14hh to 15.2hh... I measured Danni at 14.3 so she isn't that short! ! !

It started snowing and the gal said she couldn't get the horses to drink the water... turns out, that they needed to break the ice but the gal figured that the horse would eventually figure it out.  The gal and her family members again called Heather to ask her what to do, saying they had no money and that Danni was laying down and started to colic.  At this time they also stated they did not want her since she was prone to colic... however, since she had never coliced with Heather or her other owner, this was a bit far fetched.  With Danni in a possible colic, the gal didn't have enough money to even buy her some banamine to help her out.  Heather again agreed to help pay for vet care but when she found out that the colic was caused by what the gal was feeding her and not breaking ice on her water, etc... she backed out of paying for a vet for a situation that was obviously brought on by the gals lack of care for Danni. 

Heather also talked to a neighbor who stated that Danni was laying down in the snow rolling and wouldn't get up, they weren't making sure she had water by breaking the ice, etc... She asked the neighbor to assess Danni to see what was needed and could be done... The neighbor went over there and found out that the so called hay they had bought was old oat hay, lots of mold, all water iced over and 7 horses on ½ acre, very inadequate fencing, etc  Heather had no trailer or means to haul..  expensive to haul from NV to San Diego... so she sent out and email via Facebook... I told her we would haul and could house the mare here for a while to fatten her up...  Heather bought her a months worth of alfalfa hay, a wormer and a bag of beet pulp.  We brought her to our ranch and took pictures, Heather was appalled at the mares condition and was very glad that she had retained papers on the mare... 


We put Danni in our back paddock, made sure she had lots of hay to eat along with her supplements of soaked beet pulp, some stablemix pellets, trace minerals and a good scoop of A&M.  


Danni is about a 2.5 on the scale, is showing prominent ribs and hip bones.  Her coat is dull and her eyes reflect a bit of a depression.  She is interested in her food but a slow eater and a little apprehensive about the new surroundings.  Her feet are long, and in definite need of a trim.
