What happened to them before they joined us here at BR?:
Isolde belonged to a well known ranch that had top ratings for the way they treated their clients and horses. Isolde had known a charmed life, having always been treated like a queen and never knowing any hardship. Her every need was catered too. She always had plenty of food, a clean stall, neat hooves, and a fully belly. Eventually her owner decided to breed her after she became a success in the show ring. She was a little nervous about becoming a mother, but she was relieved that she would be able to raise her foal in the safety she had always known. But sadly, this was not meant to be. The stable owner died of a heart attack. No one had expected it. It was found that he had no relative to inherit and he had apparently been in debt. So all of his lands and his horses were put up to auction. Isolde was barely three months pregnant when she was was put up for auction. Her expert breeding was obvious just by looking at her, but unfortunately her official papers hadn't been found so few breeders were willing to take a gamble on her and buy her in hopes that she had good lines. Instead she was sold to a man who bought cheap horses then sold them expensively to the highest bidder. He had no concern for his animals and Isolde found herself living in a rundown shed that lacked food, bedding, and water. Her new owner treated her harshly and no matter how well behaved she was things didn't get better. For months she was alone in the shed in the center of a field. The shed offered little protection against the wind and rain and Isolde grew skinny and sick. Once her new owner discovered she was pregnant he decided to move her into his barn so that the foal would be born healthy and he could make extra profit. By then Isolde was so used to having nothing even the little hay he offered and the shelter of the musty barn was a miracle. At the time she found it amusing to think back on everything she had once had. during those times being left outside all the time and going one day without grooming would have been the worst thing she could imagine, now she was so grateful for what little she had she dared not wish for anything more. Her health didn't improve too much, but when her time came she was able to deliver her foal safely.
After the birth of her filly she became very protective and almost aggressive toward her owner. He kept her for a couple months while the foal was growing, hoping to keep them until the foal was weaned and could be old separately, but he soon grew tired of her new found confidence and aggression and brought the pair to auction.
It was there that Bear Run found them.
Isolde had little left of her former glory, no sparkle in her eyes, no spring in her step. Her coat was drab and her mane and tail tangled almost beyond repair. She had also acquired some welt like marks and scratches from her owner's rough treatment.
Her foal wasn't much to look at either. Due to having been almost entirely indoors and having a lack of nourishment the filly was listless and skinny. Isolde didn't trust the new humans and didn't let them come close to her or her foal.
Eventually they had to separate them by force for the sake of the foal who needed some emergency care.
Once the pair was reunited a short time later Isolde wouldn't let them even lean on the stall door without a show of aggression. Her filly, however, seemed very curious. She'd had very little contact with humans and they seemed to fascinate her.
Isolde did her best to keep her foal away from the humans, but in the end, it was her curiosity that made Isolde give in and allow them to try to help. Once she grew used to a loving touch once more she seemed to relax a bit, though she was still very protective of her filly.
How have they settled in at their new home?:
About a week after they were brought in Isolde and her foal were brought in a man who used to work at the stable of her first owner showed up. He said he had been trying to trace his boss's old horses and thought they had purchased one. When he saw Isolde he recognized her immediately. He was even able to produce papers on her and information on the foal's sire.
By the time the papers showed up Isolde was settled in and seemed to be learning to trust her new owners. Her curious foal had won over everyone's hearts with her antics and just one thing was left for them to do. Give her a name. Once they saw Isolde's papers they decided to keep her old name and give the foal a name that sounded like the other royalty based in her dam's pedigree. So, she became Guinevere. Guinie for short. Isolde isn't getting used to people as quickly as Guinie is, but with her past no one is surprised and they are even more determined to be patient with her. What trust she had given them she did for the sake of her foal. Isolde's time with her second, abusive owner, had made her realize what she had always taken for granted. Though her time with owner #2 had been anything but pleasant, part of her is glad. She feels that her time there helped to strengthen her in many ways and she feels better prepared for motherhood than she did when she first became pregnant. Thinking back, she is almost embarrassed to admit how naive and foolish she was. She is relived to see that her daughter shows no signs of being at all naive. Already she is more clever than some grown horses. Also a trouble maker! She keeps the humans and Isolde on her hooves.
Now that they have their own stall (Double sized to fit them both) Guinevere likes trying to figure out how to open it.
