Heard from her owner that she has been sold to someone who has older horses and has been searching for a Shagya arab and will keep Brenta's foal, - so excellent outcome.
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.
Sad to see another older horse for sale
