She didn't stumble, she didn't refuse, but she felt tired. I get it old girl, you are ready to retire and you have earned it.
Dixie brought me back into horse ownership in 1998 and has been such a great teacher, confidence builder, guest horse and babysitter. She has been semi retired for the last couple of years, but other than taking the occasional child on a backyard tour - I'm officially letting her live out the rest of her years as a lady of leisure. At 27 years young this year, we're hoping to have her around for a good long while yet.
Thank you, my sweet, sweet girl!
