Isn't this a lovely picture of horse and rider? This is Misty on her wonderful mare, Storm. Storm was named that because she was born during a storm. She is a large line-backed dun who spent the first part of her life as a ranch horse chasing cattle and goats through brush. Now she is learning dressage. Storm has her off days, but like so many mares, she has a lot of heart. Storm will leap tall buildings at a single bound, if you ask her. I love boldness in a horse. Storm is a mare with temperment. I like mares. I respect mares. "sigh...Ho-o-orses," as Elizabeth Taylor said in National Velvet. Hey, I need to add that to some of my favorte movies.
