In my childhood fantasy come true, we have a number of horses roaming around my back pasture. 12 year old me would be in Heaven…
Admittedly, so is 34 year old me!
Princess Starlight Sparkles, so named by her owner, my 7 year old daughter, came home from Ocala in the back of our minivan 3 days before Hurricane Michael destroyed the farm we were supposed to close on later that week. She ended up being boarded at the farm we eventually bought, and rode out the category 5 storm in an open air stall that a tree landed on. It was a wild ride, and I’d do it all again for this little mare. She is gentle, loves kids, and takes such good care of my daughter. She never puts a foot wrong, and doesn’t mind being swarmed with kids painting, petting, and brushing her. Sparkles is our beautiful unicorn pony, since she is clearly magical.
