Hi

Bug is home. She is at a friends house up the road that is able to quarantine her for me before she comes to my farm.

I have a 33 year old mare and a 29 year old mare so I want to keep them safe since Bug didn’t have current vaccinations when she was brought up.

Basically the story is she was sold as a trail horse in MASS April 2006. The woman after getting her home and looking at her papers noticed she had barrel racing bloodlines. So she started her in training to be a barrel horse. Bug didn’t respond to the training and after she started to rear up they took her to farm in CT and traded her in. I think this is where BUG got the huge hunk out of her tongue since the injury’s old.

From there she some how got to NJ. While looking on dreamhorse.com I saw her listed as SOLD by a woman out of Jackson, NJ and that the ad said that the mare was wild and crazy. I contacted the woman and asked her who she sold her to and she couldn’t recall but that they were in South Jersey.

Upon getting this information I put up an ad on dreamhorse.com since I was told this woman that bought her advertised there.

That was Sept 08. I have been contacted by many good folks trying to help and one gal said to put an ad on www.nj-horse.com so I started a blog there. One woman even re-wrote my ad for dreamhorse for me so I didn’t look over excited.

Well finally a dealer from Camelot called me since I had mailed him a flyer (on the advice of someone from the forum in NJ) and he told me he knew who had the horse.

Said he would make sure I was contacted when he got her back and he did. I had them email me pictures of her with a current newspaper since I had been emailed wrong pictures before and there over my cell phone was BUG. Skinny banged up dirty but still the same Bug.

We made a deal and the dealer drove her up to MASS from NJ as promised and kept in touch on the ride to let me know when they would arrive.

They signed her over and now she’s safe.
