Young dude turned 9 today...days that is!
Loved the "old dude" story so much, thought I'd share my own. I can understand how Orion feels, as I had a retired therapy horse given to me to care for when she was 23 years old. Her name was Bess and she was an Arabian dressage horse for many years and was then retired and "worked" as a therapy horse for young children with physical disabilities. Bess came to our farm to finish out her days in true retirement. We figured she would only live a few more years...but she finally passed on at the age of 34! She gave the world a lot of joy in those 34 years.
On to the gist of this post that is alluded to in the title. For those of you that know Quarter Horses, Zippo Pine Bar was and is regarded as a very good breeding line. I have the last of his sons and a Foundation Quarter Horse mare out of the Zippo line as well. April 20, 2013 we were blessed with the birth of a direct granson of Zippo Pine Bar. Tentative name will be Zippo's Flashy Legacy. Welcome to the world "young dude"!
