Patch came to us from another facility who despite their love for her, simply didn't have the time to train her. Bred from a Friesian father and a wondering wild paint horse, this mare is a rare find! After the breeding was discovered, Patch's mother (a thin mare herself) was roped in and held at the ranch to ensure that she was well fed and taken care of. Unfortunately she had a difficult birth and rejected the foal in order to take care of herself. Patch was bottled fed from that moment on but the wild side of her dam shows true in her. She has a temper and can be very ornery, but was an instant favorite around the ranch. Roger was looking for a "project" horse and when he saw Patch he knew she was exactly what he was looking for. She has a lot to learn and with her temperament, it will be a lot of hard work but he is certain that he can bring out the shining performer deep with in. 4/21/14 Its been along time since I have updated Patch's page, but don't worry, she has been keeping busy! After Roger passed away, Patch continued her training with Kiki Potter. Roger had done most of the ground work with her and Patch had become much easier to handle. Kiki worked with Patch as often as she could to keep Patch from reverting back, but was afraid what she may do in any kind of show ring. So she decided to keep her to herself here at the ranch. She began training her for jumping since she has such a wonderful form and Patch has done very well. Now that she is getting out of her "younger" years, she is calming down quite nicely. She is even able to share the pasture with some of our other draft mares. ...to be continued - More pics to follow as well. |
