Old Pony Anyone?

Via email, not Craigslist.
"I have a pony (Sally) I'd like to find a home for. I have had her 10yrs, I saved her from Crowley's. She is a 30yr old mare. Doesn't bite/ kick/chew, really no bad habits. UTD on shots, regular deworming, teeth done yearly, trim every 8 wks. Only problems are she is blind in 1 eye and decreased vision in the other eye. She has Cushings and is on Pergolide(that I would consider providing). I would love to see her in a run-in on some pasture with a friend or more. She would rather have choice in or out. Very respectful of electric fence. Doesn't know much in regards to riding.  She is more of a gentle companion. Would take her back if it doesn't work out, a free lease kinda thing."
This ad doesn't Piss-Me-Off; it makes me sad.
This poor pony was "saved" from Crowleys, and now will probably end-up there again. The current owner seems to have taken very good care of Sally. Other than myself, I don't know who would take an old, blind, unridable pony with Cushings. From the description, I assume the pony goes "Whacky" in a stall. It is a cute pony though----
