Polly - 4 year old driving mare

Lots of pictures, please be patient

Jeff is really tired of me putting up pictures of horses that we want for ourselves.  I told him I couldn't stop myself from putting up Polly, but that I wouldn't make her sound too good :)

Meet Polly.  A junk mare that only has 3 legs.  Nobody would want to drive her, she's a total nut case.  (Ignore the fact that our friend Kirsty drove her down the busy road, even though Kirsty has only driven once before in her life).   I know her conformation looks perfect in the pictures, but take my word for it, Polly is ewe-necked, sway-backed, calf-kneed, goose rumped, and colics nearly every week.  It looks like she has fabulous hair, but it's just the light in the pictures playing tricks.  You can tell by her emaciated state that she is a really hard-keeper, and also can't get in foal.  She stomps on dogs and small animals, and hates kids.  She also smokes 3 packs a day, chews tobacco, and doesn't even recycle!

Not that anyone could possibly care, but she's the older full sister to our filly Bonny, with Jim's nice, big mare Bonny being her mom, and Jim's fabulous stallion as her dad.  (Boy did they goof up this time!)   She is a solid 15 hands tall, if not a bit more.  She's 4 years old.  

Polly is a big gal!  We had to sort of wedge that collar on :)

That hair is just a weave.  Not real at all, and she doesn't have good bone.  Junk Junk Junk

Polly eats a bucket full of small kittens.

More kittens please!

Polly ready to go run down some sweet little old ladies on their way to church!
