Granny Smith came to us through a local auction with two other horses, Miss Marple and Pip. Granny is an older chestnut grade pony mare (approximately 13.2 hands high), exact age unknown.
Granny Smith was what we call a “desperate case”, and as soon as we saw her at the auction house, we knew we could not leave her behind. Granny Smith was in "skin and bones" condition, needed serious farrier attention and is missing some teeth. The auction house said she had been in their care for over a year, turned out in their back field to "die if that was what she wanted". Our hearts broke when we heard those words. All animals deserve better than to "die if they want", ignored in a back field.
Upon arrival, we weight taped her at approximately 700 lbs. Granny does have some teeth, as she can eat grass and grain if it is wet down to a mash. Granny eats with a hearty appetite, and seems to be gaining more energy every day. Throughout everything, she has remained sweet and easy to work around.
Granny will be looking for a forever companion home.
