Grade Pony Mare
??
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 - at the time she left for her forever home, she taped around 1000 lbs.
Granny lived out her days in the company of her adopted humans, where she was loved and pampered. She will be sorely missed by those who knew her and came to love her.
