Thanks. :) I hope it lets people know that even the worst, ugly, bad horses have hope for redemption. You never know what's truly underneath until you scrape past the surface.
She looked gorgeous at the inspection; definitely a far cry from the horse I saw in the pictures you posted at equestrian before you moved her to laura's.
What does the brand stand for? I suck at brands. No, seriously. I constantly forget the trakehner one, and if anything, I think that's the most obvious.
It amazes me to look at that shot from a year ago and see the ribby horse with sunken in hips and a thin, fugly neck to looking at her confo shots from the inspection. PLUS SHE IS SHINY AND OMG SHINY!
The brand is actually another in a long line of her icky life on the cow farm; it's actually that farm's brand for all their horses. She was in a field of 15 hand quarter horses and the brander "accidentally" branded her as well. So basically it was just a crap accident that kinda distracts one from her super nice hip, but bleh. I honestly don't even notice it anymore.
So you definitely don't suck at brands. Hers is just an obscure local brand. :P A good thing to know though is that no warmblood society freeze brands. Everything they do is hot branding, so it scars. Freeze brands leave behind the white hairs.
Hee! Freeze brands are actually less painful, but they're much more obvious and ugly. If I had my way I'd just do away with the branding and leave it to the papers.
I know, right? HOW do you mix up a 16 hand fine boned warmblood in a hard of 15 hand stock quarter horses? Was the brander blind or something??
Well, maybe only a little more than a diamond. >_>

You did such a fantastic work. I admire you for that. Breeze is a fantastic horse now, beautiful and trustful.
This is a story I definitely pass on to others. It´s worth to be told.
HUGS, Heike

Yes, I do have people ask me if I dye my hair brown.
I love her old owners. They accidentally grabbed her and stuck her with an iron. Oops. Easy mistake.
She is pretty, for sure. It looks like you found a little diamond in the ruff. You know, that ended up costing more than the diamond. ;)
