Meet Blue Moon (aka Moonshine)
In March 2012, Toby’s Legacy was contact via Facebook about two horses on a feedlot in Ontario. Working with Nicki from Falconridge Equine Rescue, Lisa Bone, co-founder of Toby’s Legacy, networked, raised some funds and bailed them out. On March 13, 2012, “Blue Moon,” a bay roan BLM mustang, came to Toby’s Legacy. She is now ten years old and 13.2 hands.
Blue Moon was good weight on arrival but had overgrown feet and had never been handled. Just as is done with all new rescues, Blue Moon was quarantined for one month. While in quarantine, Lisa and Jen (the owner of J Walker Ranch where Toby’s Legacy resides) would set-up chairs in the corral and hang out drinking mimosas as a way for her to get used to people. Slowly it worked and Blue Moon began taking treats and allowing her face to be touched.
The farrier worked with Blue Moon and after only a short while was able to get her to pick up her feet. It made trims easier for him and brought us a step closer to gaining her trust. Peg Wozniak began working with Blue Moon. Moon seemed to enjoy having something to do, Peg was patient and Moon made a turn around. She became easy to catch, wanted attention and was well on her way to being broke to ride.
Bluemoon, now named Moonshine, was adopted, and has returned through no fault of her own. She was started, and green under saddle, but was sitting for a long while. She will need a refresher at the very least.
ADOPTION FEE: $500
