Raven (Miss Lucky Deluxe)

Willow's new pasture mate arrived today!!!  Sweet Leah and Mark have had her for a little over a year... they rescued her from a poor situation (they are the sweetest). She was skin and bones and has apparently been ridden and/or worked too hard in her short life at some point. But Leah and Mark loved her and nursed her back to health, and now feel that she would be a perfect fit for us.  She is a nine year old Quarter Horse... black with two back white socks and a white star on her head.  I love her star. ♥  Like Leah said she would be, she is quiet and super sweet.  She loves attention and will be a great horse for me and Sophie Lu to ride.  We are going to start groundwork training with her next week once she is all settled in.  Here she is taking a gallop (she and Willow were so frisky) out in the back pasture.  They had so much fun together, but only after Willow planted a firm kick on this sweet girl's rear end (leaving a hoof mark and all) to establish her dominance.  Was there ever any doubt that Willow would be the boss?  lol... she is a queen, that is for sure.  But like Leah said, Willow will be happy to have her own pasture mate... even though she would never admit it. ♥
