Location: Where I am happiest | We bought this filly out of the Bowie Texas kill pen. She is packing the Fulton Ranch brand. Kill buyer doesnt have her papers. Someone, somewhere KNOWS this horse and obviously comming from Fulton's she hasnt always been a nobody, no name! We are offering a $500 reward for the identification and registration papers on this filly. She is said to be a 4 yr old. https://www.facebook.com/AuctionHorsesSouth/photos/a.821763554586123.1073741828.821653831263762/850814778347667/?type=1&__mref=message_bubble

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I will be the party pooper. When they are that well bred, if she is out of one of their studs, they usually pull papers and send there for a reason. Branded or no. Talked to some other elite breeders and she admitted they have sent some to killers for bad tempers, cripples or just being crooked. If they wanted them sold with papers, they don't generally let them go to a sale like that for killer price.
But good luck, you never know if you might end up wtih a diamond in the rough. |

Location: Where I am happiest | I have not met the horse personally yet. We had her moved to a quaranteen facility and had the vet out to look her over and pull coggins. He told us she is straight, sound, and was nice to work around and handle. Thats all I know. We rescued another mare from the kill pen 2 years ago. She is by Twaynas Dash. The twist of fate that put her down that path was her owner died and family didnt want the horses and just dumped them.
I hold no judgement why she was there.Sometimes people just have to do what they have to do. Horses end up in that situation for a myraide of reasons. Divorce, death, loss of job or house, ec`t ect ect. I sure would like to know who she is though.

| Do an aqha search of the year and each of fultons stallions seen if any match.
You also need to remember fultons also have grade horses sold at their sales in the past |

| I'll try to do some looking, usually I'm a good sleuth :P Now it sounds like Fultons were in contact with someone on FB about her and wouldn't give them the time of day? Also shows a registered name but it is too many characters (with spaces) for AQHA so I am guessing it's supposed to be "Wisdombeyondmyyears" |

Thank's for your help. Any and all help is appreciated. The name givin to her in the kill pen is just a name the girls that work with the kill buyer to list those horses give them there. That is not a actual name. |

| Do you know 100% that it is the Fulton brand? We have a Boonlight Dancer horse with a brand that is so much like Fulton's it is hard to know the difference. I believe he came from Montana. |

Boy do I agree with you on this. Sellers get way more grief on a cheap horse than any $10k horse. Why is it so cheap, what is wrong, who rode it (then proceed to call trainer), who owned it, why did they sell it. This is why many just take them to to sale and walk away. And somehow it still causes a bunch of people to be bothered by a horse that wasnt worth their time for whatever reason. I am all for a diamond in the rough or even a bargain but I have learned the hard way there is usually a reason they are cheap. But..... there is always that exception to the rule. I hope you found the one. |

Did the vet check her teeth to estimate age? At least she has some markings you could use to try to match up. |

I totally agree but I think for the money, they may not want her to have papers. And since you were willing to take the risk, I wouldn't think it mattered who she was exactly. If you see a good prospect, papers shouldn't be an issue. For instance, they may not want bad genetics to be passed on- so they pulled the papers since she is a mare? Because who wouldn't want a FG mare for cheap and want to breed her if she didn't ride? That's all I am trying to say. I have seen it personally.
But to join in on the bandwagon-I still wish you well with your hunt.  |

Not necessarily
You have to test against the sire and dam,
For example you would parantage verify
Streak of fling as the sire and firewater fiesta as the dam
If it comes back as negative, for either/or then you have to do it over again with a different sire, and/or dam |

Sadly IMO experience they don't, you have to pay for them to check each sire dam combination |

Location: Somewhere over the rainbow | I was lucky enough to purchase a horse just hours away from being sold to a kill buyer. No fault of the horse at all. The young lady found herself in desperate circumstances and didn't know what else to do. She tried to sell her on BHW but her ad was horrible and priced so low everyone assumed there must be something wrong with her. The mare is by Brimmerton out of a Strawfly Special mare. Had a successful racing career was bought off the track and then tragic circumstances knocked this poor young lady for a big loop.
I drove three hours to try her out at a truck stop. The whole thing sounds shady I know.
Fast forward a year...this horse just won first place in her class in her first ever dressage show and was 3rd for high points out of 45 rides. I have her papers in my name and she is a peach.
I know that not all cases like this turn out to be the real deal but sometimes these horses are really worth the crazy risk to give them a chance.
Thank you for saving her and best of luck finding out who she is. |

I know our two 6 yr olds didn't when we registered them, but last years Frenchmans Fabulous filly and this years Firewaterontherocks colt we did. So praying she was DNA'd.
On another note, many of you know Traci Pratt from texas. Traci has saved 11 horses out of the kill pen in the last couple months. ALL have been very nice horses! She saved this mare june 1st. Rode her that night and gave her to her son the next morning. He has Juvinal Huntington's disease of which is progressive and there is no cure. I'm going to share 2 pics with you. The first is the day he got her 3 weeks ago, and the second, is from today. They are at The Elite barrel race. This is definatelly a case of 2 angels, saving each other. This is Roxy, the kill pen rescue just 3 weeks ago.

Location: Where I am happiest | lhighquality - 2015-07-16 9:23 AM ThreeCorners - 2015-07-15 7:41 PM Thankyou so much!! Thats a really good idea how to cross reference!! I have found a couple that are sooooooooooooooooo close also. We wont be able to get better pics untill she gets home. On the ones that are close, are they of the same cross? i.e. sire/dam same or maybe the sire or the dam the same? MIGHT could search that sire/dam combo or the sire or the dam offspring? (my thought process in this is some of those that have markings somewhat similiar, my be siblings, some of those mare or stallions "stamp" their foals ) I have AQHA dollars, so let me know if they're are any you want checked!! Thanks
The ones that are really close, and the ones with that star and snip are all by ASOF but from different dams. |

Location: Where I am happiest | Katie's - 2015-07-16 6:23 PM Well I wish I hadn't gone to that auction site. Heartbreaking.
It is very sad. Thats a site/page that lists those horses directly from the kill pen. They list horses from a couple different kill pens. The Bowie kill buyer told me he gets 10 semi loads of horses a WEEK!! It is all so very sad and for me, I think the absolute most heartbreaking are the bred mares, and the ultimate worst is the mares with foals on their side. When the mares ship across the border, the foals are seperated off in the loading chute and left behind. Alone, and most just die and/or are savaged by the other horses while searching for mom. It's just heartbreaking.

Unless the rule changed this year, not all registration applicants need to be dna'd.
Only when dealing with shipped semen, cooled or frozen
If the horse is over the age of 3
If the mare was on two different stallion reports

Location: Where I am happiest | Small update..... We got the mare home. We had a transport co. haul her from Tx. to Or and she arrived this past thursday. He said she was the best horse in the load.She ate, she drank, and never raised a peep. She has been a absolute doll since she has been home. She hasnt raised a single cross hair! She has been bathed, clipped, blanketed ( with a fly sheet ) and all without a peep. Everything has been so easy with her and it is evident she has been very well taken care of untill reciently and everything we did she was used to and knew all about it. Had the vet out today to check her over and do a soundness exam. She flexed great on all 4, limber as heck, very flexable and wasnt body sore anywhere. She is sound as a dollar!!! She is however,pretty small and pretty down on her weight but the weight is a easy fix. The biggest thing, is she is not 4. He put her at 7. So now we have to try to find older catalogs. She is sorrel, with alot of roan hairs throughout, and especially through her flank and belly and has a coon tail. Pretty headed, slightly long backed and fine boned. She stands 14, maybe 14.1. |

I hope we are able to solve the mystery! I love seeing these types of horses have their stories told. A friend of mine has worked with an animal communicator on her rescue mare. It is incredible what she's learned about her. I was skeptical but the information has been crazy accurate. |

Maybe the OP would be interested? If someone is fb friends, could see if theres any photos of her on this Ali's Sunshine? Easily confirm it is or isnt the horse we're looking for. I would be really surprised if the horse ran and was entered in futurities and ended up here but you never know. |

Location: Where I am happiest | Any and all help is greatly appreciated!! Maybe your friend who had Ali's Sunshine could look at this thread and see if she knows this horse? It is evident she has been very well taken care of and handled a lot in the past and has traveled. She loads right up, hauls quiet and doesn't stress at all. No matter where she went, she acted like she had been there 1000 times and dispite 3 days on the trailer, loaded right back up again. My daughter drove 6 hours south to meet the hauler and pick her up. On the way home got a flat on the trailer. What was supposed to be a short 6 hr haul ended up 8 and she still never raised a hair. Never even moved in the trailer and they didn't even know she was in there the whole time changing it on the side of the freeway. Even though she has lost ALOT of weight, her coat is still VERY shiney. She has been loved, and she wants to be your friend. She is just a real sweety. |

Location: Where I am happiest | No real updates per say. We have ordered the DNA kit to see if there is a match. AQHA said they can match her DNA across the entire database provided she was DNA'd to begine with. That will tell us a reg. name and number. I can tell you she has been very easy to work with. She is very kind. She's gaining weight well and now that she's more rested her appetite is really increasing. She was so very thin and extremily wore out when she arrived. My daughter saddled her up last night just to see and that all went without a bobble. She's thinking she will climb on next week to see what is or isnt there. |

Location: Where I am happiest | Update. Still dont know "Who" she is yet but I'll tell you what we do know. Turns out there is a cutting horse breeder with the exact same brand as Fultons except the F doesnt quite connect to the open box. Very hard to distinguish between the 2 unless you know exactly what your looking for and it is in the exact same location as Fultons. The people who had this brand had 2 stallions. One called "Droppie"by Boonlight Dancer out of a Hybrow Cat daughter they paid $118,000 for. I found the sale results going through google. Their other stallion was a horse called "Smart Mouth". Through AQHA I was able to contact the guy who purchased Droppie. He lives in Kansas. He told me the old owners, Jack and Pamela Shields have 2 places, one in Howard Colorado, and one in Rio Vista Texas. He said Jack Shields got very very ill, the horses were getting poor and had gotten poor and they liquidated everything. Most or many, sold through a sale at Shawne Oklahoma. So I had located phone numbers for Jack and Pamela Shields but they are land lines now disconnected. Which isnt suprising as very few people have a land line phone anymore. Soooo, thats where were at. If anybody has any further info on Jack and Pamela Shields, we would be ever so gratefull. |

Stories like that make me so sad. I bet if that's where she came from, she's an athletic little thing.

She is very very athletic! Extremily quick footed. We have not started her yet per say as we dont know her exact age. Vet said 2 - 4 and she is really small and looks like a maybe 2 yr old.So we decided best to let her mature a little more and put more weight on. She is super sweet on the ground and just wants to get along. Then she got sick, got potomac horse fever, spent a few days in the hospital on IV's and is just now starting to bounce back from that. She had only gotten 1 potomac horse fever shot when she got sick so her immunities werent built up enough yet but it was enough to help her get over it after just a few days of hospitalization. Soooo, we are now just building her back up again from that. All the weight we had put on her, poured off plus some but at least she survived. She is a tuff one thats for sure. |

You should be able to figure out how old she is as this is when they are shedding their baby teeth and getting perms and is the easiest to figure out their age.
Here's a link with pictures.

Wow - sounds like she's had a rough go of it. I hope she turns out to be a great fit for you. |

Location: Northwest Florida | What an interesting thread! I read the whole thing from the beginning, hoping the mystery would be solved at the end. Sadly it sounds like you're still searching.. Good luck! And thank you for saving her! No matter who she is, she is happy and safe now and that's what matters |

No, just feeding her up letting her rebound. She's cute and kind as can be. Just really really small and now with the added weight loss she looks reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tiny. |

Well I hope she continues to heal up and get healthy. Sounds like a nice mare regardless of her background! |
