Happy Birthday, Mindy

0903_04

On Thursday, we’ll be celebrating Mindy’s birthday! Since the Australian Quarter Horse’s retirement from traveling to tours and expos in 2010, she has been enjoying life just being a horse, living a life of ease in the pastures at the Downunder Horsemanship Ranch. Clinton visits her to scratch her favorite itchy spots and feed her a slice of bread – Mindy’s all-time favorite treat. The two share a special bond that’s evident in this video that captures their last liberty performance together at the 2010 Vegas Walkabout Tour.
