Sparkle was my first miniature horse in alot of ways. She was my first horse as a christmas gift. She was my first horse to give birth to a mule. She was my first horse to choke (and go to the vet on emergency). She was my first horse to have a seizure. She was my first grey horse. She was the first horse I put a harness on. She was my first horse to kick me. Now she is 21 years old and a very special friend. She is high in the herd. We separate her to feed her and hang out with her at meals. She is groomed and clipped to maintain her beauty. Saprkle can read my mind and know when I want her and will come out of the herd to me. She is much slower now than she used to be. I think all the years of having babies took a toll on her somewhat.
In this photo, she is the first horse I went through a hurricane with. Note the tag in her mane with our contact info. I even shaved our phone number on her body which on a mini took her whole body all the way around.
Maybe you could have spray painted the phone number in smaller letters! But that idea of shaving it in is great! I hope Harmony and I have as many wonderful years together as you and Sparkle have had.
