Description : I had sent my one other Paint mare away for training and left "Hope" who was given to me for a "pasture pal" for my mare at my mother's farm with my sister's geldings while I had to go out of town. I returned to find "Hope" missing! My mother said she thought I did not want her any longer (a lie) and found her a good home in Alliance, Ohio with a little boy who she ran into at Tractor Supply store in Alliance. I did research and found out a "grade" Paint Mare 20+yrs. was sold at the Damascus Livestock Auction by my mother & sister. I had "Hope" for only a short time. She was given to me by owner of the stud who I had bred my other Paint mare to. I had taken her because she would provide company for my mare and still serve a useful purpose. She had a hernia near her udders from her last delivery. I had the vet out and we got all her shots up to date, had her feet done, and decided we would keep an eye on the hernia and only do surgery when it became necessary since I was not going to riding her and she was going to live out the rest of her life as a pasture pal to my mare and future horses. "Hope" was a gentle mare who I am afraid might have ended up at slaughter because of "people" like my mother and sister who see horses only as a commodity of flesh to make a buck from with no regards where they might end up at. A sad note for horse lover's everywhere.
