Barbara (That's Personal)-
1/22/08- Well today Barbara arrived. She got off the trailer with no fuss, walked through the barn with the Roosters running by her (BTW they have been adopted), walked out the small door of the barn through the walkway and into the round pen like she's lived here all of her life. Now to dig up some information on this girl.
1/24/08- Ok so what I know so far is this: She was born March 2, 2002 in New York State and her registered name is That's Personal. Her sire is the legendary Personal Flag and her dam is That's Ravishing a winner of $80,000 herself. She has had 12 starts in her career and earned $9,244. Her first start was a Maiden Special Wieght at Aqueduct worth $42,000, she apparently was injured and vanned off the track. She then raced at the Finger Lakes in lower level claiming races (only 2 months later, so she could not have been injured badly) where she won once, came is second once and came in third twice. All of her racing was done as a 3 year old in 2005. She then is listed as having had a foal in 2007 and the breeder of that foal is listed as a farm in Pine Grove PA. I have tried contacting them, but so far I have not heard back. I brushed her all over and she is a little touchy about her back legs and her belly, but if you go slow and with a soft brush she tolerates it. I put a sheet on her this morning (with no leg straps) and she was fine with that as well. She is getting along great with the other mares (except for Sunny who chases her off) and has really just settled right in. I am going to make an appointment for her at Pine Bush Equine to get her Ultrasounded, have her teeth checked and floated if they need it, and have a physical done on her. Our regular vet doesn't do teeth or ultrasounds, and I really feel that she may be in foal so I would rather do an ultrasound off the bat then a blood test (they are the same price) and if the blood test were to come back positive, then I would want to do an ultrasound.
Still being evaluated, not yet available for adoption.
