ANABA
 
Foaled in approximately 1995
14 hand QH/possibly Arab cross pony mare

Freeze-branded - possibly a mustang?

Anaba (Navajo meaning 'returns from war') came to the Golden Carrot from Shirley Puga and her gang of rescuers, after they saved her the killer buyer's feed lot.  They thought they'd found a home for her, but she may have a 'locking stifle' and she was returned.  She's also very thin under her long hair coat, but feisty, and so beautiful with her one blue eye, and one light golden eye.  Shirley and Marlene told me she was a mustang, but I'm going to differ with them. Those tiny feet and substantial rump, not to mention the pretty face, look very quarter-horsey to me, and she's got the 'tude and snortiness some arabians have, as well as a short back.  Hum.... Another Heinz-57!  She walks sound and can run backwards hammering poor Oso with both feet as she reverses, so I'm not sure about the locking stifle either...

 

On the left is Anaba's left side amber eye; on the right is her right side blue eye!  Really interesting looking but as far as I can tell, she sees well out of both.
 This is Anaba's glamor shot.  Very exotic, don't you think?

 
Anaba's full body. Again, she's pretty wooly so it's not obvious but I think you can see how caved in she is on her topline, and how bony her shoulders are. 
Here Anaba is wearing Anna's old blanket. It's a nice fit for this pony mare. Anaba was leery of having a blanket, and she doesn't like contact around her hind legs.  She gave the farrier a little hell, thinking something bad was coming. Both blanketing and trims were handled slowly, and she never threatened to kick, just tried hard to move away. And now she's fine with a blanket, and we hope the trims next time will go a little easier. She has teeny feet....
