The ranch where I board my horses. That's Sunni in the arena, February 2016.

Beauty
Beauty and the saddle pad. She stood very still for this. She isn't sweating, she was hosed off a little bit. It gets very hot in the desert and this was early summer.
I rescued her when she was 2 years old, back in 2006. She died unexpectedly in 2009. I found her the next morning in her corral. No signs of a struggle, so we have no clue why she died. I THINK she laid down to roll and hit her head on the metal railing of her corral, killing her instantly. She WAS a Beauty...an appendix filly. I found her online on a slaughter-bound feedlot, up in Washington state, adopted her, and arranged for her transport to California, along with another mare. She was the love of my life. I sent her out for training, with my cousin, and almost didn't get her back! I miss her every day.
Is she a filly? She looks very young!
