Our Remuda

For those of you who are not equine-minded or ranch savy, the word Remuda come from Spanish and is a common ranch term, which means herd. Our "herd" isn't really big enough to be considered a remuda, however on Sunday, someone asked me if they were big rabbits since they multiplied from two to three last week. We did add a new little gray mare, who his a half sister to Sandy. Her name is Mitsy, although Shawn thought it would be easier to say Misty. And since her sire is out of a Sunny Dee Bar son, we are going to call her Miss Sunny Dee or MissDee for short.

She is a little gray with some light reddish-black speckles on her hind legs and a little on her body. they are really light and the breeders told us she goes a little darker during the summer as she sheds off all her winter hair and her true color comes out. She is a bit shorter than Sandy and even Mac, which for our "tall" family is ok. Michelle has fallen in love with her already. She has a very gentle and sweet temperament.

Pictures to come.
