[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 707638, member: 411"] We are going to have her tested. Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of that test. Kind of surprised the vet didn't recomend it. Talked to AQHA and they won't do any test to find any parents. Herd there is a test to find out breed though. Trying to find more on it. Not that it really matters. I have a ton of blood and sweat in this filly and it doesn't matter really what she is. Just more of a "i knew she was qtr horse and the vet said I was wrong". Her mother was already in the adoption process when I found her. She was 2 at the time she foaled. She foaled three days after her arrival at the farm. From what I herd the mom got a great trail riding home. Since we got her, the "rescue group" that rescued her mom in the first place hasn't contacted me back at all. They have completely written her off. I contacted them for records that she was supposed to have and they forgot when they delivered her with no success. I don't know if they went under or what. I was really horrified at the condition of her when she was delivered. They sent me a picture of her at 5 months old (which I later found out was 3 months) and didn't tell me she was 9 months until we signed the papers and unloaded her. I was under the impression I was getting a 5 month old filly. The rescue she came from really must be overwhelmed because the care of the horses is not so good. 9 months old and no foot trimming to start with ticked me off. Not to mention they said she had vac.s and wormer and she had 1 vac. and no booster as well as no wormer or hoof care etc. Whatever they were feeding her was not good either. Her tendons were so contracted. We saw a diffence in only a few weeks of changing to a good feed. I was very surprised at how much cow she showed the first time out in the pasture. The intention was to just go for a walk since she had been sick and she saw the cows and bolted afterthem. You could tell she was having a great time chasing them. We will see more when she comes of age. Thanks for the imput. Take care, Double R [/QUOTE]
