| Riding Horses and
Retirees
I
am so thankful to be able to retire my longtime friends on the new
ranch! These horses have meant so much to me as riding
companions and friends.

Gray Mare
"Carolina"
Carolina is a feminine and regal
mare with long flowing mane and tail - she reminds me of the horse
that carries off the princess in a fairy tale. Her feminine exterior is in sharp
contrast to her powerful strides and stunning athletic
ability. She moves with a purpose and can go for
days.
Carolina is also one of the most kind
hearted horses I have ever met.

Raffons Melody
Raffon++
x Ralysabs Eclipse
1985
Chestnut Mare
"Melody"
Melody has an exotic, extended
neck which she passes to her foals along with a long, full hip and
huge eye. Her foals have a wonderful "look at me"
attitude yet are loving and sensible companions.
You can see some of Melody's foals on
her Foal Page.
Melody is a sweet mare who always tries. As a trail horse she is sensible and trusting of her rider.
She takes new experiences well and usually does not have to repeat
exposure to something more than once before she is used to it.
Melody has a very western way of
movement until you ask her to extend. At an extended trot she
moves out with animation and high action. This is a natural
talent - she has not been trained for it. Who knows what we
could have done with this talent if we had formally trained her.

Silhouette
These
beautiful mares sadly lost their loving owner of many
years. They will live at Wind Dancer Ranch the rest of their
lives - hanging out with fellow retirees in the pasture. They have
settled in well and made the farm their own.
