Amber  - CSU mare Colorado State University approx 8- 10 yr old and measures 16.0 hh this gorgeous girl was sold through the ring reportedly due to board not being paid...  she was purchased for slaughter and was purchased after the sale by AC4H.

you can see the csu brand on her front left shoulder and 1910 on her right rear.  You can also see the injuries from the halter gouging her... poor girl!!

Rick spoke to the doctor in charge of reporduction who cared for Amber this morning.  Apparently some changes have been made at CSU  - they used to buy the horses for their program but now they lease them and they go back to the farms they were leased from.   Amber was there for a couple of years and is listed as an Oldenburg but they do not have papers for her.  He said that she was pregnant twice the first time it was her own egg and she miscarried the second time she carried as a recipient and did carry to full term.  He reported that she was a very nice mare to work with and he was happy that she was safe. 
 
Amber is very nice mount she does have a nice head carriage and is easy to work with she is more of a ring horse than a cross country horse she does better with another horse as company on trails than she does alone but Jen and Rick have been working on taking her out alone and she is getting braver :>)
