I bought this mare 8 years ago from horse flippers in Vermont they said her name was Jilly, 16 ( now 25-26), gaited, TWH ( I know about the registry keep forgetting to do it)
She’s definitely not originally from the New England. I would like to find a few of her past owners, find out/ confirm things about her and let the ones who had loved her know she’s in her forever home. She is loved more than words can say.
I have talked to one person who had her for a year or two she got her from a woman who bought her at Morrisons auction 12-13ish years ago now
Seems to have been a roping , penning or a ranch horse at one point.
Might have done some pole bending
Can crack lung whip off her back with a relaxed leg
Knows how to park out for showing
Won’t pee by a trailer or panel stall
Rides by motorcycles and large equipment
Watches tree lines while trail riding
Will ride through woods without trail
100% was used as a brood mare
Definitely changed hands often took 2 years of going to shows and coming home for her to realize she wasn’t being sold ( first time visiting a family friends barn and coming back home she was visibly confused)
Licks you if she really likes you I have come out of the barn soaked in slobber more Than I can count
Has a tiny dot on her nose, one back hoof that grows part black, and a star that comes & goes depending on the season
