My rescued APHA mare Serenity Before and After

Serenity06 · 09-22-2009, 01:04 PM

In April of 2008 my mom and me rescued a tiny, starved, never been handled, and VERY pregnant 2yr old sorrel tovero filly. We got her for $75 at an auction in Colorado before moving to Washington (me and the horses moved in July mom came before us in May). A month later in May she had a gorgeous sorrel toveor colt, sadly he didn't make it due to being premature and his urinary tract did not develope properly. Most of my pics of Serenity when she was severly under weight are on a phone that is no longer in service so i can't get them off of it.
The day we got her (she looked worse than the pic shows)

August 2008 - Late August 2009

(The trainer that helped me get her started correctly)

(Body clipped from shoulders back)

(i was talking to my mom lol)

Serenity has turned out to be the best horse i have ever owned! She is my barrel prospect and is going to kick butt doing it (the trainer that helped me trains and competes barrel horses and she keeps trying to buy Serenity from me lol). I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. I love my painted pony!

Thanks! Last fall i would have NEVER guessed she would turn into such an awesome horse! She was completely stubborn and strong willed. Luckily i had a trainer who helped me with her (for free!). I'm still friends with the trainer and she and her daughter help me out still when i run into a problem or something. They are awesome people.

Thanks! Most of those were taken while she was kept at the stable i worked at and she had a sheet on most the time. The last few are from being at the house where she is kept in a 5 acre pasture and trust me she's not always white anymore lol.

I rise her off when she gets too dirty to ride and by rinsing off i mean with one of those spray nozzles i use the flat setting after using the shower setting to wet her down. Because she's white i can use the flat setting and in nice straight lines and watch the dirt come off (it takes a while lol). When she does get a bath i use Quic Color shampoo
