I was sad to see a beautiful mare in foal is being sold for very little money on a popular horse site. Her age isn't listed on the ad, but when I looked up her pedigree I saw that this shagya mare was 20 years old. I can't imagine putting a mare in foal and then selling her, but I suspect it was done in order that buyers would find value in her foal. Why do people do this?
Am very sad for her and wish I had room.... |

Sorry if my post was ambiguous re Brenta's future; yes , her new owner wants to keep Brenta as well as the foal and already has other oldies.
The seller was keen to find the right home for her mare and now feels that this has been achieved. |

Let's hope that the buyer WILL keep Brenta as well!
I confess I find it hard to understand HOW breeders can sell off these old mares who have given their best! It's difficult - I KNOW - when you desperately want to keep a stunning filly and add her to your brood mare herd - but there's no space! But it's EASY to find a good home for a nice 3 or 4 year old. My old girls are with me forever - as long as they have a quality of life - even when they can't have more foals! Same with my stallions - my senior boy is 22 and doesn't get many mares now - but he stays with me and enjoys a quieter life - as long as he's well and happy. |

I can understand why you are so tempted by her martha615, I think she's lovely and would be ideal for me (apart from the pregnant bit but I'm sure I could cope with that), sadly my circumstances are not right at the moment. I really hope she gets the home she deserves. |

Googled "Brenta 3" and found this with some nice pictures of her.

I messaged te advertiser today to ask if the mare was still for sale and for more details.
Got a reply quickly-
This Shagya arab mare's name is "Brenta 3. "
Owner says 'If you google her, her results come up. She competed in Europe and the Middle East. Her passport is impressive. '
and that " I've lowered her price. I've had a ridiculous amount of time wasters.
She's due in April. The stallion is now in an eventing home.
She will be in next weeks horse and hound."
Feel that lowering her price will result in more timewasters sadly......
Surely there's someone on AL who can step in and save this mare and her foal from going to an unusuitable home because she is cheap.
I can visit, take photos, videos and maybe even help with transport if anyone is seriously interested in giving her a good home contacts me.
I'm a short drive from Paignton where she is for sale.
If you can help with rehoming PM me .

I agree Martha, I have two already and have to think of them before overloading myself. It is probably a good thing I don't have my own land as every waif and stray would find its way up the drive.
I can't get her out of my head. |

I'd love a horse like this but am so flat out with what I have....I'm going to keep my eye out for this mare, though. If anyone hears or sees anything in the future I would be most interested in knowing if she got sold or was put on another site or whatever. If I didn't have two demanding mares and a sweet invalid of a cob right now.....
PS. I got a message from Anne but couldn't respond for some reason -- resend? |

She is adorable Martha. I think you should have her  |

I found the ad on H&H and thought she was adorable. More adorable even than previously thought.... |

Not relevant to the thread, but this had me in stitches 
Only an Arab...........!!
I sincerely hope this mare finds a loving longterm home for herself and her baby. |

Don't know when foal is due.- Anyone interested could call the number that's on the H&H ad.
Really hope this has a good outcome for a lovely old mare ; she deserves a good, knowledgeable home.

That is probably the sire at the new owner's place - Georgia Symonds posted 3 videos of him on You Tube- but may not be in Devon. I certainly don't have that grass...
Horse looks chilled- even bored - yawns at end of one video ! - but yes a youngster though seems a nice type. |

I think I have found a video of the sire - do you think this is right Freya or am I going off in my own little world  ? On You tube - search for - VALENCIA chesnut thourougbred colt out of NOTNOWCATO and PANIC STATIONS
They have a lot more grass down there in the west!

Thanks for the additional information Freya. I have found the stallion who is the sire of the foal to be, he was also on Preloved and whilst he is rather lovely and I like the look of him, he is only 3 and unproven. If you google "thoroughbred stallion paignton notnowcato" and then go to the cached version his ad is there.
Do you know when the foal is due? |

There's a mobile number that I can pass on too....PM me for details .
Have heard that she's advertised in H&hH too. |

Surprised that this 20 year old arab mare is close to me in Devon- Paignton area- Really do not need another horse- or one that is in foal [even a bargain like this] - but it is so sad that she seems to have been passed around.
Messaged the seller asking details of the TB sire of the foal she is expecting and was told that the stallion was owned until recently by the seller and that his sire [ so grandsire of potential foal ] is Notnowcato- stands at £5K.
Have posted details on SW endurance site in the hope that someone will give this mare a good and forever home.

If any AL's would like me to take a look at -and photos/video of this mare PM me as I have time to help if anyone is too far/busy to do a reccie themselves......

Well, my oldie is safe in the field. She is invaluable to me as she has supervised my FTAGH TB filly from 2 to 4, ready to be restarted this spring. Hopefully this filly will have forgotten she was a racehorse, and picked up on Zarellos good points. like always coming when caught, a collected canter that has made onlookers cry, never bucking and standing nicely for the farrier, and being groomed, but not the parts where you leap 80 miles an hour sideways if you see a leaf out of place on a hedge, take the opportunity to push annoying children into waterbuts and refuse to even acknowledge anything that is not either arabian or thoroughbred as they are just not worth talking to. |

If I wanted another horse I would have her, she,s been there and done it, for me it would be a special extra to have a baby as well.
But my 4yo is away being worked and ridden on, my 18yo is being her self and my 2yo is an excellent companion.
I would have to get rid of one the them!!
I love the 4yo, but is she going to be to much for me!!, the 18yo well nobody would want a moody mare and this is her last home, and the 2yo is not every ones horse!!
So unless a miracle happens I cant help!!!
Also the lady that is working my 4yo is trying to get me to take one of her,s as well!!
I wish I could have them all, but I think my husband would not be happy with it. |
