One of our accidental rescues, and a member of the Moo Crew
Meet Retta...
We don't have too many pictures of Retta, she was not here for a while (we sold her to a family we knew to help pay for Max's surgery). I suppose she would be what you call our "good personality" horse. While her physical appearance may not be overly beautiful, her temperment is definitely so; very sweet and gentle. Along with Max and Cinnamon, Retta was another of our accidental rescues. She returned to us when her new owners became interested in showing, as she no longer suited their horse needs.
She is what I'd call a "Rice Krispy Horse" (lots of snap, crackle and pop in the joints) even though she is only about 10 years old. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to bother her though. I'll post some of the pictures I have now (and take some more later :o) She is a marvelous trail horse for a beginner, but her future is somewhat uncertain as she seems to be having trouble with her vision.
Favorite Retta Anecdote: My Girl
Being the only girl in the Moo Crew, Retta gets lots of attention from Max and Shadow who take turns vying for her affection and each sneaking her away from the other one (it gets mighty entertaining, I can tell you :o)
Shadow will be munching away on grass with his girlfriend and suddenly find an undiscovered patch of the green stuff (yum!) which - of course - captures his immediate attention. Enter Max (who has been waiting for just such an opportunity). The moment he sees Shadow isn't watching, he will sneak up and nudge Retta further up the hill so he can keep her for himself. Shadow then looks up to find his woman has left him for another man - sigh - which makes him morally obligated to go and get her back (so then we just start over :o)
Other than a slightly bewildered expression, Retta doesn't really seem to mind all of the attention...
Photos: Mowing the pasture :o) soaking up some rays, and Retta's return to the Moo Crew - she's kind of in the middle of everyone there.
