This post is for me to take a moment to talk about Quiche, not quiche you eat but Quiche aka Kiwachinina and to remember her side kick Milton aka Milton Burro. Quiche is the little bay mare that I have had since 1985 when she was 6 months old. Yes, that makes her 26 going on 27 yrs old! Milton was a year when I got him and he was with us 22 years.
Georgia winters - they were so wooly & little!
After the move to Arizona - Great buddies!
Over the years Quiche has given experienced riders, kids & friends fun & memorable rides!
She always knows when it is time to "babysit" and when she can "play & test your attention".
She has carried me, my husband, my brother, my sisters & their kids, my daughter, neighbor kids, friends and now kids of some of those kids, heck, I think my mom even rode her once.
Nowadays she eats alot of carrots & apples and hasn't had a saddle on her in over 2yrs thanks to a bum knee. But, two weeks ago she took Brody - my neices son - for a ride around the property. She loved it as much as he did!
Here is hoping for many more years to enjoy carrots & apples. Maybe even a few more special rides!
