We had the vet palpate Saphira while he was here; he couldn't feel a baby, but he's pretty sure she's pregnant. The uterus wasn't in the normal "non pregnant" position but was low enough he couldn't get to it. He says to watch for another 60 days and see if she foals, if not, then he'll palpate again and ultrasound if necessary. The ‘found mare’ is now named Saphira, she is an adult mare. Saphira leads/loads, but haven’t tried under saddle. Saphira is a sweet mare, handles very well and loads like a champ, she is one of the calmest horses I’ve ever met. She has gained almost all of her weight back and is now ready to go to a new home. ‘Fia’ gets along great with other horses and loves to be loved on; she quickly became a favorite of our younger volunteers and loves to nap while they are braiding her mane. We believe her to be an Arab/QH cross. We will be trying her under saddle soon; watch for updates! IHR Pike received a call from Pike County Sheriff Dept 11/14/09 approx 9:30 p.m. regarding a horse running at large. Amber and a volunteer providing a horse trailer met the Deputy and neighbors to help locate the horse. They were able to catch her easily, check her for injuries and load her into the trailer. The Deputy escorted them back to the farm and completed reports. We hope the owner can be found, but in the meantime, she is receiving all the care she so much deserves. |
