RIP Cherokee May 8, 1998 - January 2, 2023
“Cherokee” was my main riding mare, there’s not enough room to write about what this mare has done, or can do! She’s a been there, done that mare! Raised on the farm, out of Kings Poco Babe mentioned in the About Page on how we got started, you don’t find minds/souls like this very often, yet I’ve been blessed with several horses with minds & souls like Babe & Cherokee, and who you don’t see on this website – Cherokee’s sire Cherokee Clout. There’s nothing these horses can’t or should I say won’t do, they have SO much try & will, there’s no quit, they are TRUE partners, it nearly brings me to tears writing about this mare, and her predecessors! I had to retire Cherokee in 2020, because of arthritis in her knee, due to being kicked, and it breaks my heart, I’d love to use her to pony my young horses, as there’s just so much she can teach the youngsters! However, she can continue to teach them in the herd. All our horses are taught to come to our whistle, and this is something that our lead mare “Babe” taught the herd, which is now what her daughters now have the role to do. They now teach the newcomers to come to our whistle, but also, they teach them the “calmness” in the herd. I could go on and on about what this mare brings to our farm, the herd, my life, I am BLESSED, this mare is a true blessing, and I thank her every chance I get, if there’s anything I can pass on to others, is to please remember to thank your horses for what they give you, as I try to remember to do the same & this mare is a true reminder of how thankful I am of how blessed I am to have such amazing horses in my life such as her, her dam, her sire, and her offspring!
