Thanks, Liz, and everyone, for remembering our sweet old Gramma.
I don't know how many offspring of Dell Tera's Hippy exist out there, but the fact remains that not many of the horses born in the 1970s still exist.
I am forever indebted to Stacy Score of Mountain Meadows for coming forth and helping to identify our girl.
She gave us one filly a year and a half afterward, and that mare, now ten, has given us several beautiful foals, Mouse, Kyan and Pyro just to name a few!
She enjoys her days and seems content in her little stall at night with her crunchies. Lets us know that she expects a beet pulp top dressing like all the other horses. Even if her dish is full with senior pellets, she will paw if we try to leave the barn without the scoop of wet beet pulp. Applesauce, grated carrots and of course something cinnamony for pastry make for nice treats.
I'll come back with some pics if she will let me brush some of the clumps of hair off of her.
Leia, I know she'd gladly buy Pyro the bus ticket if she only knew where to go.
She's so much more agreeable to being around his little sister for reasons we won't go into (though that has diminished already, he's still just too rambunctious on a hot day for a granny in jammies! *LOL*)
