Here
she is when we first got her in Feb:

|
Ginger is
a quiet sweet girl that would LOVE to be somebodies
horse again. She is 16 hands and 9 years old. She
is healthy, had her shots and feet done. She is unassertive
and will abandon her food if challenged so needs to
have a separate eating area or a companion that will
let her eat.
She was abandoned at a boarding stable
and taken to auction. Very nice gaits; picks up her
feet nicely. Quiet and compliant for vet and farrier.
Excellent ground manners. Anyone can seem to ride
Ginger. She would be good for someone who wants to
do recreational trail work or arena work. She would
be a lovely therapy horse. Her fosters tell me they
have never known a sweeter equine.
To see Ginger Snap call Kate at SAFER
707-824-9543
Below Ginger is doing quite well with
her new life in foster care. Gaining some weight.

Ginger
gets some love from her farrier (Jessica Armstrong)
for being such a good girl. She is a sweet and easy
mare to handle.
A trainer rode her and had this to
say:
Ginger is a lovely
girl. I handled her on the ground, tying, grooming,
feet - she did super. I tacked her up from the wrong
side, one of my 'is it broke' tests, and she was fine.
The arena was not such that I could longe her
so I just got on her off a mounting block and she
was fine. She intially rode pretty green, but
since she hadn't been ridden for some time, didn't
have shoes, and the footing was poor, I didn't push
it very hard. As I rode on with her she got
rounder and longer in her neck, like she understood
that, just couldn't do it very well. She was
certainly sweet, not spooky, not tense with either
saddle or rider. In fact, quite lovely."

Here
she is after a couple weeks in her new foster home.
She is getting some brushing but has her ears on Jazzy
coming up from behind; as usual.
Very well trained.
We have had quite a few folks ride Ginger; always
tries her best. No vices. Good with kids. |
