Gypsy before and after

Here is Gypsy, an APHA mare I rescued along with 4 others from a very nice lady who seemed to have no idea she was starving her horses.


Here she is today



She's 10 now and I have kept her along with one other mare. Two of the other mares were sold to a neighbor who trail rides. I was unable to keep the last one from bucking, and I'm too old to get bucked off much, so he ended up at the sale barn. The lady who bought him was looking for a challenge.
