I spent the last three days at The Mane Event expo in Scottsdale, working the trade show booth for Renegade, so I missed posting on Mimi’s actual birthday, which was on Friday.
So this is a belated happy 24 years to my bestest heart horse in the world.
It’s really hard to believe that she’s 24. Physically, there are times I definitely know that she’s showing some signs of her age, but mentally, she’s still going strong, and as long as she’s given some warm-up time, she is still physically strong and capable.
We were able to get out on trail again a couple weekends ago, and at one point, she was out-walking all five four of the other horse we were with. Never mind she was the shortest of the bunch, with the others ranging from 15hh to 17+hh.

best view in the world is between these ears
Happy 24th!!
Happy birthday to the pony mare!
I am almost done your picture.
Oh, awesome, thank you! The girth is great — advantage of the pony + a dressage saddle with really long billets…perfect fit for her.
That was Shasta’s girth. I like the design, but it doesn’t work for our other two.
Happy day, ponygirl! You look amazing for 24.
