Breezer
"Breezer arrived here on the evening of
Sunday 11th of July 2004 as a yearling Shetland filly with badly deformed hind
legs. The condition is known as capped hock and hers is a really bad case. She
came from a breeder who did not want her
because of her condition she cannot be
bred with. He was asked specifically by our mutual vet not to offload her onto
us as we had enough mouths to feed!"
