free: Yearling thoroughbred hermaphrodite in Kentucky* New Pics on Post 14* [Archive]

Hi, I'm trying to help my friend find a home for this horse. She took this horse from it's breeders because they told her if she didn't take it they were going to donate it to the local university to be necropsied and studied. She thought it deserved a chance as a riding horse, and so took it, even though she has WAY too many horses of her own. She was told that it is a mosaic hermaphrodite, although I can't tell you exactly what that means. I have been around the horse though, and I can tell you that testicles were removed from the inguinal cavity, it has teats like a female, and a small penis like structure coming out the back end where the vulva would be on a mare. This yearling is very nicely conformed and should mature to around 16+ hands. This horse could be a very nice sport horse, he/she has a very quiet attitude and a nice way of going. This horse is not being dumped, my friend simply would like to find someone who can actually spend some time working with this horse, as she has 4 others.

Glad your friend could save him.her. I'd be tempted to show him.her as PAT. :lol:

I boarded with a hermophrodite horse and it was a wonderful horse with all the best elements of a mare and a gelding. I would not shy away from owning such an animal, providing any necessary castration had occured. I don't need a yearling but I hope someone will give this horse a chance-- this wil probably be a total non-issue for his/her riding career and as a yearling-- he/she is a clean slate with a good life ahead.

One of my friends has a herm horse. She loves the thing to death! Always behaves, steady mount, never causes trouble and doesn't show any stud/mareish behavior.

If proper gelding procedures are done it would be a great horse for someone.

ood luck finding a home.

*This horse has been gelded* Laproscopy surgery was perfomed and testicles were removed from the inguinal cavity.
P.S. my friend calls her "mosy" cause she's a mosaic :-) Please tell all your friends about "her" cause she needs a home where someone can play and love on her. She is taken care of, but is definitely on the backburner.

The fusion of two different zygotes, or early embryos, into one. (The reverse of the process that produces identical twins!) The resulting animal is called a chimera (after the monster in Greek mythology with a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail).

In this case it was a male and a female embryo that made this particular hermaphrodite.

Sometimes in equines, it's the fusion of twins of different colors that produce the rare brindle color pattern.

In humans there have been some interesting court cases of chimeras ie- wherein one woman's children were taken from her as the usual site of dna testing did not produce dna matching her children, but further dna samples taken from another part of her body did match the children.

She was not registered. Luckily in the sport horse world registration is not required so hopefully she can be worth something to someone :-)

The picture of her (ahem... his?, it's?, whatever...) junk gave me the giggles. :) I felt like I was in middle school again, sitting in health class looking at the diagrams with curiosity, confusion and a little embarassment. hehe...

I'm finally down to just my two personal horses and I just don't need another one but I sure hope this youngster finds a home.

Since s/he has been castrated it really should not be an issue at all!!!

Who cares whats going on at the back end!

Just look at that face! What a sweetie!

Jul. 14, 2009, 03:56 AM

I am just so amazed by this little girl, and blessed is your friend for saving her. I find myself visiting this add over and over to see if she has a home yet. I know I know I say "SHE", but she looks like a girl to me..ha ha, so it works. If there was anyway I could make the drive right now I would come and pick her up, but it has been just to busy at the hospital right now to ask for any time off. I just know she is going to make a great horse!:yes:

Anne FS

Jul. 14, 2009, 04:53 PM

She was not registered because the breeders elected to say it died when born in order to get the stud fee back.

That is SO not cool.

chestnutwithchrome

Jul. 14, 2009, 07:13 PM

^ at least they were willing to keep her alive and give her away, rather than really making her disapear.

MintHillFarm

Jul. 18, 2009, 10:14 AM

That is SO not cool.

How odd? Would the stallion's farm not want proof the foal died? I am surprised it was that easy to say the the foal was dead and get the stud fee back. I guess if there are no papers issued they felt that the foal was gone.

I have a stupid question, because of this issue the horse couldn't race? Or is it because they would not be able to register as a gelding? I am curious so anyone who knows more please post.

I think the horse looks sweet and would make someone a very nice project!

Anne FS

Jul. 20, 2009, 08:53 AM

Sorry. They lied and they cheated a stud owner out of their fee. That's fraud.

Perhaps the stallion owner would have refunded the fee in the case of a hermaphrodite. But they never got the chance, did they? If such a birth defect would invalidate the contract, then ok, but since this horse's owners elected to lie and say the foal was dead, then I think not. How could you ever trust them with a stud service after this?

cmdrcltr

Jul. 20, 2009, 09:13 AM

I read those articles someone posted, and the hermaphrodite Standardbreds were still racing. They just had to be raced as geldings instead of fillies. It's too bad that a nice fil...um, horse didn't get a chance to try it. However, I hope to see that someone picks him (it?) up and makes a great sport horse. I am NOT in the market, but I've been following this with interest because of it's unique nature. Has Mosy found a home yet?

chestnutwithchrome

Jul. 20, 2009, 06:28 PM

Unfortunately nobody has even come to look at mosy in person yet :-( I get emails but no follow up. Mosy still needs a home.

Yes it is fraud. Poor Mosy. It's so good that the lady who has her now decided to rescue her from the breeders so she wasn't sent to the University for study--I'm sure she (i think shes a girl too) will make someone a lovey horse.

Either way, it wasn't the woman who owns her now that lied. I hope she finds a good home :) I wish I could take her--if she's still in need of a place I'd be ready in 2 years lol!

well said...no need in bashing the one who rescued her or the friend who is trying to find a home for her..ummm Mosey... I'm sure there was a misunderstanding and a few people thought that the person who has her now was the one who said the foal had died. Bad for the stallion owner, but the foal did get a chance at life and looks to be a beautiful yearling instead of a cutting project for a class of students.

Jul. 21, 2009, 08:37 AM

Greenpastures, thanks for the tactful response. I wasn't bashing the rescuer at all - my comments were strictly about the breeders. It was the breeders who made the decision to "keep her alive and give her away," right?

I understand the care of & interest in the foal, and since she is alive, I certainly hope that she finds a loving home. But since she is alive and is thriving and will make somone a nice useful horse it astounds me that the stud owner got cheated.

what i would do for this horse. she sounds amazing and i wish i had the room and money for her. i recently got an 11 year old ottb and he's such a sweetie. but my heart is melting for this girl. i really hope she finds an amazing home. she's gorgeous, too :)

I've been following this thread and I'm so sad Mosy hasn't found a forever home yet. I'm smitten and really wish I wasn't so far away or at least have a trailer! Looks like Mosy would be the perfect all around horse. Giving Mosy a small bump too, would really like to see someone able to take him/her in and watch him/her florish.

chestnutwithchrome

Jul. 27, 2009, 07:10 PM

Just thought I would let everyone know that mosy still hasn't had anyone come look at her, but one person did send me references to check out, and they expressed a serious interest but were going out of town for several weeks.

I know this is VCT's quote, but I had to post it, in order to bump this thread, and because it is so true.

“Every horse is good for something. He could be a cart horse or a lead pony and he’s still nice to look at. You don’t throw a whole life away just because it’s banged up a little.”

I hope Mosy finds a home soon. But I am sure when she does it will be a good home. One of those that are worth waiting for. Best of luck!

Aug. 15, 2009, 03:33 PM

She was not registered because the breeders elected to say it died when born in order to get the stud fee back. I can tell you that she is quite well bred. She is by a stallion by Dixieland Band. Luckily in the sport horse world registration is not required so hopefully she can be worth something to someone :-)

Sorry to interject (the horse is lovely by any means). What the owners did was fraudulent, and because most contracts in the thoroughbred world require a vet to sign off on the birth/death, the attending vet was also acting unethically.

I think the owners need to reconsider their position.

chestnutwithchrome

Aug. 15, 2009, 09:24 PM

I would really like to find this nice yearling a home without getting into how she came to be. Mosy is a very nice horse who will make a wonderful riding animal. She is still available.

chestnutwithchrome

Aug. 24, 2009, 07:55 PM

So the person who seemed to really want mosy has backed out.... I don't know what to do. This thread has been looked at more than 6000 times, and I've gotten a ton of great emails, but not one person has come and looked at Mosy in person. Any advice on other avenues to try would be great. My friend and I are both discouraged. We knew the market was bad but thought a nicely conformed yearling would be wanted by someone, even if she is a little "different" ;)
Thanks,

chelsealaurenmurphy

Aug. 24, 2009, 09:42 PM

i swear, if you could help me get her to south carolina, i'd pay the extra $100 to my barn owner to keep her here. i hate that mosy keeps getting false hope. it's not fair. she is such a sweet heart. and she's so damn cute. i love the aspect of her that makes her "different." she is going to be a DAMN good horse because she won't have the moodiness of a mare or the studdishness of a stallion.

chestnutwithchrome

Aug. 24, 2009, 10:06 PM

That's the problem I guess. A lot of people out of state have expressed interest, but although my roomate has said she would meet someone halfway, I think south carolina is a bit too far.... Do you have any friends who show at the horse park? They could load her up on their way back home! lol

chelsealaurenmurphy

Aug. 25, 2009, 03:41 PM

haha, that does suck. you think there would be people all over her since she lives in kentucky. but no, i don't have any friends that show there :( hmmm, how much do you think it would cost to rent a trailer that far? i hate seeing that poor baby getting her hopes up, just to be let down. you should post more pictures of her to show off her cuteness :) oh and how broke is she? just halter broke, right? (since she's just a yearling lol)

If you call around to local shippers you might find one that is already picking up or dropping off a horse in KY and could bring him/her back. Sometimes shippers are willing to work with folks when its a "rescue" situation.

Mosy is getting fed and trimmed and wormed and vaccinated, but not much attention. My roomate works full time, has a competition horse, a young horse, and two retired horses. She took mosy with the sole intention of finding her another home. She's been feeding her for a year already, and really doesn't want to do it through the winter, as our winters get very cold with snow and ice, and there aren't enough stalls for everyone.

You talk about Lexington like it's the great white north, eh.

Yes there is ice, yes there is snow, but rarely do they stay beyond three days and most of the time it's 40 degrees, wet and muddy.

Have you thought about Kentucky Equine Humane Center

It also might have to do with the fact that your posting history is all on the Giveaways forum...oops, save ONE post in Off Course, about your username. And that you've tried to get giveaway horses all the way from CO to the Northeast. Hmmm.

As I am originally from California, to me this is the great white north :) I had never experienced an ice storm before I moved to KY. I guess what I was saying is that we prefer that all of our horses our sheltered, and at the moment we do not have enough stalls. My friend had hoped to give Mosy away privately, but as that does not seem to be working, I will let her know about the Kentucky Equine Humane Center.

Im wondering if they really want to get her a good home! its been way to long....!

I'm confused on what you mean by "they". We're all in tough times. The pool of people able, willing, and financially secure enough to take on an unknown quantity such as an unbroke youngster decreases by the day.

I think the OP and her friend are doing what they can to find Mosy a great home, and I commend them for caring enough to take on and work with him/her.

hmmmm! what a shame but for us its more important to were she will be going.so if someone shows intrest in a ottb they cant get to the track so they have to reley on us..we give them pic try to match personality and cryteria and then most importantly send some one out to there property/farm to see if there liget and the proper place for the horse to live..if some one showes interest and they are pretty local but cant leave there farm /work for one reason or another then ask to meet them were the horse will be living..they on the other hand will have to trust in what you say about the horse..i have to trust people and take them at there word all the time.and visa versa..but i have the upper hand for the safty of the horse because we go and check things out..not always are the people that viset the horse are what you see...i need to always no more about were they live..and you should always contract so the horse will always come home to you..never just give away a horse...never...contract contract contract..assures a pretty fair chance that the horse will never get lost...

cloudyandcallie

Sep. 15, 2009, 08:22 AM

Not a single person has come and looked at mosy! You are right, we are not going to give her to someone without references and a contract. If that means no one is good enough, than so be it. If someone were willing to show enough interest to come and look at mosy in person, than we would willingly give her up.

Good for you! I hope she gets a good home where she's not treated like a freak. There are people out there who would exploit her uniqueness.

We've removed some posts to redirect the thread to the original purpose of rehoming this horse. Those offering anything in this forum can select potential new homes for their horses or items based on whatever criteria they would like to use.

These threads are not the place to complain or debate about not being chosen as a good fit. It's the horse owner's choice and responsibility to determine where their horse goes.

I think you are wonderful to put so much effort into finding Mosey the right home, and not be in such a hurry to shove the horse out. The right home will come along, it may take a while, and in this economy honestly you have not been looking for the right home for all that long of a period. It has taken much longer to place more desirable horses (training, records, bloodlines, etc).
Mosey is just what I am looking for but the distance is too great, and I am trying to keep a stall open for the winter in case of a local emergency. Wish things were different! I would be thrilled to bring Mosey home for my daughter to play with!
Hang in there, the right home will come along and it will be worth the wait! :yes:

Sep. 22, 2009, 09:25 AM

I know she is still a baby but do you think you can get a video of her with a cavaletti? If you dont think its safe, i understand. I am just very interested to see her attitude towards it. See if she maybe a future jumper. I have a friend who I think would be an awesome match if Mosey likes the idea of jumping in her future. :-)

chestnutwithchrome

Sep. 22, 2009, 09:10 PM

It might help to find this youngster a home if you made greater note of the fact that he is gelded. Plumbing my be placed weird but, he does have , or should I say had, the important parts that make a boy. Competiting a gelding in Hunter/jumper/CT is prefered by many sport people. NO hormone problems, i.e. heat cycle, and greater strength over all which is why many races are divided by gender. Otherwise I would say just be patient. Mosy is young and most serious show trainers like to look at prospects that are closer to training age. This baby is only going to get better as he grows and sooner or later someone will say WOW!!! is this horse still available??? and how fast can I get there to see him up front and personal?!? (I just took on two nice 2yr olds or I would be down there in a heartbeat!) You also might try listing him on theHorse.com, free horse Thoroughbreds. The site has had excellent response since it opened in reguards to re-homing TB's.

I do have her listed on thehorse.com
You are right, most people don't want a yearling. If we hold on to her for another year and start her though, we won't be willing to give her away for free. I will try and say that she is gelded more often, as you pointed out, that is something that is desireable to more people.

I am working the keeneland sales this week , but I will try and take her to a local arena after that, and take a new video. I will attempt to trot her over some calvalleti, but no promises.

Mosy is still available and still hasn't had anyone come and look at her. I will try and get some new pics and video of her once I am more free after I finish my last event. She is in a growth spurt and getting big! My friend says if she stays through the spring and we end up starting her, she won't be free anymore.

greeneyelioness

Oct. 15, 2009, 10:38 PM

Here's a thought...

try posting her on the Alex Brown Racing Forum AlexBrownRacing.com Wonderful site full of rescuers. Some may even help with hauling her to a new home or at least help to raise funds for her. Really great group of people that help Tbs and other animals survive the life we humans impart onto them.

Also try ExRacers.com. Another great board for rehoming an OTTB, even though Mosy isn't officially an OTTB, they do often help place TBs and others.

If you need help posting on these sites, PM me and I'll cross post her for you. I couldn't pull up her pics so you may have to email them to me personally.

If I can think of any other sites, I'll post them here for you.

Nice, quiet filly. She should make a nice horse for her new person. Love her name, Mosy.

Fawn, I would appreciate it if you would not post information about a horse that you have never seen nor know anything about. If someone has questions about Mosy's hermaphroditism, I would be happy to answer them to the best of my abilities. I will say this:
She has been tested and we were told that she is a Mosaic Hermaphrodite
She has had testicles removed
We were told bySeveral vets that she will behave exactly like a gelding for the rest of her life and should have no side affects because of her hermaphroditism.

This horse will make someone a wonderful sport horse.

If you had a way to get him to Coastal NC I would take him in a heartbeat! I love these special guys.

I sent a message to a friend of mine who loves the underdog, and has a FINE farm where she piddles in dressage and mostly just in loving the critters. Will post when i hear from her.

I wish I could fast forward to March, then I could take her! She'd be a super fun project!

Bumping this to see if there have been any updates/takers.

Searching through my old threads and saw that this had been bumped a couple months ago. We kind of gave up on finding a home for Mosy because of all the tire kickers. I got hundreds of emails, and not one person ever came to see her in person. She is still growing up and getting more mature, and just learned cross tying and mane pulling this summer ;-) I will probably start her this fall and put some rides on her for my friend and then we will go from there.

I rode a hermaphrodite connemara pony awhile back and he was the best. His name was "Pat" and he had no issues at all. He showed successfully in California in the pony hunters and had a great attitude. He had teats and a tiny "penal gland" that was out the back bet. his hind legs (further back then the sheath would be) We loved him anyway:yes:

Good luck with your horse!

What is her birth date? How big is she now?

She was born in April of 08 and is around 15.1-15.2 hh right now. She is not going to be real big, but is very balanced.

Can you email me some current pictures and some info on her overall demeanor and attitude? I'm in Knoxville, so not too far away. I'm considering a third horse, but I'm still in the considering stage - just as a warning that my mind is not yet made up. I have a younger mare who was injurted as a two-year-old (not in my care), and is sound now, and I think the best way to assure her long-term soundness is to have a third horse. My email is joskt0204@gmail.com.
