I had the good fortune, thanks to my friend Buffy (Destiny Farms), to come across DS Muscata Bey in October of 2003. An 8 year old registered Arab mare, Scata, had been advertised for sale only months earlier by her owner. It was a herd dispersal and the owner had distributed Scata's ad along with the photo. I'm not sure why he decided to put her in the auction but, having had no buyer interest, I gues he decided that was the best route. Buffy had read this mare's ad and called the owner. He informed Buffy that the mare had just been sold at auction but that if she were interested to track her down as the buyer may be willing to sell. That was how I came to hear of her. Buffy knew I was looking for an Arab to call my own, so she called and suggested I follow up. Scata sold at auction but unfortunately the buyer was a meat man. It was right about this time that I first heard about this mare and decided such an uncertain future was not becoming for such a beautiful young horse. She was sold as a grade mare but when I contacted the owner he said that he had her papers in the event that I was able to 'rescue' her. So, with the help of yet another wonderful acquaintance, Erika Sahm (ESP Equines), I managed to track Scata down. As it happened, the meat man had sold her right out of the gate to a cowboy friend of his. Fortuitous for us, because this person also happened to be the meat man's roomate. We were able to locate him and to shorten the story convinced him to sell her. He kept us on the edge of our seats for 3 weeks before deciding that I could have her! Scata is a charming creature and I feel very lucky to have her. She was trained under saddle in spring 2004 and is coming along nicely in her training! Scata was bred to Leos Lucky Straw (Paint) and foaled a beautiful chestnut tobiano (going grey) filly on May 2. Lola will remain here with us and her mother.
