Lola, an appendix chestnut care, owns me. I am very lucky to have this girl in my life. She takes care of me all the time but doesn’t hesitate to tell me when she thinks I am wrong. Yes, she’s spicy. She’s a flirt and sometimes a drama queen. She’s the best!

The mare who played Flicka in the TV series was a purebred Arabian, who was a daughter of the great Abu Farwa.

The sweetest horse I’ve ever rode is a chestnut Welsh/TB/Arab cross mare.

My first horse was a 14.2 Quarab chestnut mare which I bought as a 3 year old. She was the best horse I’ve ever had. She was smart and generous of spirit. If someone experienced got on her, she was spirited but if a child or inexperienced person got on her she was as calm as could be. She was the easiest horse I’ve ever had to train and super athletic. I rode her bareback constantly and often times without a bridal too. People always fell in love with her and I had many offers to buy her when they would see what an incredible mare she was. She will always have a place in my heart.

I’ve never heard this myth. Strange idea.

My first horse is 14.2hh chestnut mare. She’s as stubborn, spirited, and opinionated as they come, but I basically grew up on that mare. Even as a beginner I used to ride her everywhere bareback (too short to lift the saddle all the way up) at hair-raising speed. We both loved it. I never did get her to canter on the right lead or be rideable in a snaffle, but eleven years and many other horses later the now 26-year-old mare is still one of the best horses I’ve ever known.

One of my four horses is a chesnut mare, and she is no more moody, or difficult than the rest. In fact, she is “bomb proof,” loveable, and sometimes, seems to have a sense of humor!

I owned a wonderful chestnut mare that I bought off the internet. I drove 400 miles to bring her home. Annie Fannie aka Princess Big Butt was the best spare mare anyone could have. She was always there for friends to ride in a pinch.Solid and sweet, Colic claimed her last May and I still look for her every time I go to the barn
to feed.
