Wild Rose Horses

Hi guys, here are a couple of pictures of my filly.

I just want to say for the record - I didn't name her - lol!

She came with the name and it suited her better than her registered name "Lil Cassie Norfleet" so I kept it.

These pictures are of Beauty as a yearling in her previous home:





Here are a couple of pictures from the day I bought her (March 5, 2006):





And here are current pictures of Beauty now.

Everytime I see her I fall in love. She's quite the looker!!!

How is your training going with her?

Thanks Jen,

She is a sweetheart.

Training under saddle is on hold. I had planned to send her to a trainer in Sept, but she had a major paddock accident at the end of July. Poor baby put her hip,back,neck,poll & jaw out of alignment in a nasty fall .

So far she's had 4 massages & 2 Chiro adjustments and while there has been loads of improvement she is still not sound.

I think it will be another month or two before she is sound again, but it may take up to a year. Luckily everyone agrees that no lasting damage was done. Its just a matter of the muscles strengthening to hold the hip in place, so I have begun working her lightly again.

She has another massage scheduled on the 15th of Sept, so I will see at that point if she needs another adjustment.

I have to say that my hubby is being awesome about the $$. He seems to understand that this horse is very special to me. He was the one to suggest we buy a horse trailer to bring her with us to Alberta, I was going to wait and send for her later.

I'm happy to hear she's improving. Better to be safe then sorry and to take your time.

She sure lives up to her name. I have a horse named Beauty as well
