Gypsy is a 29-year-old stock horse mare. She had one person for most of her life. Sadly, he became ill and then passed away. Gypsy spent many years alone on an island before we were contacted to go and rescue her in April 2010.
President, Jo S, and volunteer, Jane, made a big journey of several hours each way, plus a trip across the water on a barge to find Gypsy, who was roaming many acres, with no small yards to be seen. Well, Gypsy took one look at us and our horse float and led us on a merry dance for almost an hour. All the while, Jo was anxiously checking her watch as we had to be on the next barge off the island, no negotiation.
Eventually, Gypsy decided that it was in her best interests to get off the island and be with people once more and stopped still so Jane could halter her. She then travelled beautifully on the float and barge, and was very excited to see the horses on her new foster carer’s (Jo M’s) property in Samford. After all, she hadn’t seen another living horse for many years.
Aside from Queensland itch, we noticed quite quickly that Gypsy had lost some sight in one eye. Otherwise, she was physically quite robust. Alas, she injured the eye a few months after her arrival and despite our best efforts, we couldn’t save it and it was removed.
Gypsy has had some emotional issues to work through as a result of losing her person and being isolated for so many years. She has been receiving excellent care and therapies at Jo M’s place, including musculo-skeletal work, Parelli friendly games, aromatherapy, Reiki, chakra essences, kinesiology and a diet and nutritional supplement package designed by experts in their fields. All of this is to help Gypsy to live her best life for the rest of her life.
Gypsy is a mascot for all aged horses in the world, who are so often thrown away or abandoned right when they need our protection the most. We have decided that Gypsy will remain with us for the rest of her life and she will live on the same property in Samford, surrounded by those who care for her. She is a symbol of our commitment to our belief that all life is equally valuable, regardless of age, breeding, training or colour. Our hope is that every horse in the world gets a great a retirement home as Gypsy has.
