See that little dark bay girl with the white tuft on her withers in the lead? That’s Glory, our 25 year old OTTB lead mare. The other dark bay is Norty, a young but retired TB who’s kissing spine is clearly only an issue under saddle. The one that looks like a roaning dark bay is Sadie, a 10 year old Oldenburg. If you look closely you’ll see that she has white at the dock of her tail. We believe she’s actually a color called Rabicano. The bright bay is Storm. He’s an Arabian/saddlebred cross. The big red guy is Kodiak. He’s an appendix (QH/TB cross) and last but certainly not least is Derby, the spotted pony. She’s TB and Appaloosa. Here they are celebrating Derbys birthday on Kentucky Derby day in their summer pasture. Sadie, Storm, Kodiak and Derby are all foxhunters and trail / hunter pace superstars. Life is good.
