Gypsy

Second Chance's Gypsy

Biography

Gypsy was found wandering the roads close to a highway and was impounded on a local property along with another filly and a pony. Her owners were located after a few days of digging on behalf of the local Rangers and promptly surrendered her into the ownership of the Shire. As she was obviously very timid and required a lot of care, the Rangers contacted us asking if we could take her in along with another filly also found and impounded.

Her condition was poor, especially for a mare so young. She had a body score of 2.5 on arrival, had badly neglected hooves and had a worm infestation. She immediately went to a very experienced horse trainer for fostering and once she was started under saddle and physically brought up to scratch she was quickly rehomed to a Second Chance member.
