I am looking for any information about my horse’s past. I found “To Battle” (aka Kayla) posted on the Giveaway section here back in the late summer of 2009. She is about 15.2, 2001 Chestnut TB Mare. She has a broken stripe. She also has some scaring on her hind legs (possible fence injury?). She has swirls on both sides of her neck.
She was bred in California by Eclipse Investments. She raced 10 times, but not much of a record to speak of. I don’t know where she raced. I was able to locate her JC registered name, pedigree, and breeder based on her tattoo. Came off the track in 2006, as a 5 year old. From what I was told, she was abandoned with two other horses at a boarding stable in the Reading, PA area. The owner never returned to pay any board so the barn owner placed the horses in new homes. At this barn she had some reschooling, but little was known about her before she came to this farm.
I would really like to know what happened in the three years between leaving the race track and her abandonment at the boarding stable. What had she done? What are the scars from on her hind legs? Did she ever have any medical issues?
For anyone who may be looking for this horse, she is in a great home where she is loved. She’ll be staying for life. I just wish I had more information on her past.
