RJ Light Serenade (aka Mirage)

This post is not about Curlies - it is about my purebred Arabian mare RJ Light Serenade, aka Mirage.  Mirage is on of my all time favorite riding horses, she is full of GO and yet fun and easy to ride for an experienced rider.
Here is a picture of us on one of our endurance rides together, she is preggers in this photo!

So Mirage is due to have her second foal for us next month - she is quite gigantic! I spent quite a bit of time today grooming her- she is shedding like crazy and she loved the attention!

Here re a couple of pictures of purebred Arabian stallion that she is bred to:

Fantastic colour on this boy - we are hoping he throws a bit of it my way!  I am really hoping for a filly to replace Mirage eventually - she is a fantastic mare and she is now 18 - she has an old leg injury that will dictate how many more years I get to enjoy my girl.

The first foal that we had from Mirage was almost 4 years ago now - she was a *Sandman baby - ooops!  This IS about Curlies too!  Anyhow, here is Mirages 2007 filly *Sandman' Serenade - a real chip off of both mom and dad.

Until next time!
