RE EDIT INFO!!

I decide to write "Em"s old owner and find out some information. I was told "Em" was a thoroughbred trakhner but found out she is a full breed trkahner mare. Here the info from Melissa her old owner!


Em is a full Trak – no TB at all. Both her father and mother were sired by Abdullah (so she will be very valuable as a broodmare when you are done showing). I filled out her paperwork for AWS and they are mistaken, no TB at all. I have too many horses to remember her dam’s name off the top of my head but I know she was not a cross. I believe it started with a D…Dulca or something like that and her sire was Abdullah. She was imported from Germany when she was very young – either a yearling or 2 yr old, unfortunately the people who bought her neglected her and she was taken away from them – that is why we did not have her TRAK papers, they wouldn’t release them when she was confiscated. That is why I registered her with AWS, so she would at least have papers with someone.

I did not know the people who bought her. She was neglected (starved) and was not in good shape. She had injured herself (the scar on her back leg) and was generally bad off. She was confiscated and bought by some other people, they sent her to their trainer (also my trainer) she got in shape and was getting better but she never bonded with the new owners and was nasty with them (who could blame her after the other people were so bad to her?). The trainer was working with her and she was doing good – she had been evented a few times, but was terrible to load. I would see her all the time and she bonded to me. After a couple of years the trainer was moving back to New Zealand and she gave me Emily. I had Emily inspected/registered/branded because we were going to breed her. I wanted to show her a little more before we did breed her so I took her and Eddie all over the south to breed shows – they both won a lot. Then the hurricanes hit and we lost our barn and fences and I decided to sell her. Our place was in such bad shape and she was jumping the fences. I was sorry to loose her but I am glad you have her. Our house is built and all the new fences are in. We will be breaking ground on our new barn in February. I will send pics. When you are ready to retire her she can come back here, we will always have space for her.

** thank you so much melissa for the information
