Our White Lady AUS
Snowy's
Story
This is Our White Lady arriving with Roger Payne (a dear friend of mine) unloading her here at Norsire Farm.
Our White Lady is a Jockey Club Registered Imported Australian Mare. She
was born October 22, 1991, which sounds late, but is the equivalent to a March foal in the
USA, since Australia is on the southern hemisphere. Our White Lady is the only white
horse of any breed ever born in the southern hemisphere. When she was 3 years old,
Warner Bros. Movie Productions (Australia branch) tried to buy her and offered her
then owner $50,000.00, only to be turned down flat.
She went on to the race track to be a race horse which didn't prove to be
worth while, as the track administrators banned her from the track during the regular
morning hours to train. She was allowed to train after everyone else was done
training for the day which didn't give her the needed experience to exercise along side
another horse, like it would be in a race. The reason being that when a lot of the
horses saw her they would run off uncontrollably with there riders or jump over the
railing to get away from the ghost like horse running down the track after them. She
did actually start and race, since they couldn't ban her from racing, it became such as
hassle to train her after hours, they just simply gave up trying to race her.
She then went to live on Barry Seale 1,000 Plus acre farm in Queensland,
where she was pampered to death as they thought of her as royalty! When I
bought her from Barry I was told, I must bathe her every 2 weeks with human shampoo, that
horse shampoo was too harsh for her delicate pink skin and to braid her mane over
and keep it 4 feet long as he did. I have kept up the mane and never pulled it as it
is just breath taking when she is freshly bathed and that
long mane is flowing as
she romps through the fields. I do use horse shampoo and she is fine with it, and I
don't do it every two weeks. Sorry Barry! The reason Barry kept her mane so
long is, when Warner Bros. tried to buy her they were told to let her mane grow as long as
possible, that the longer the mane the more they would pay for a horse for commercials and
movies.
When Our white Lady arrived here she was in excellent condition! I was surprised at how good she came through the 3 week to the day trip. ( more later must go fold some clothes the dryer is calling me, tune in soon for the rest of her trip, her life here and her up coming foal)
