Magpie now lives with her wonderful
new family in Indiana. It was such a
hard decision, to let Magpie go. A
decision made so much easier once I
met her new family for the first
time, and saw how much Magpie liked
them too. Goodbye, sweet 'Pie.

As a youngster in
England she was a
sideliner put to a wagon
that went to Appleby
Fair and back.
Once over
here in the States she
was started under saddle
and has competed in
dressage and attended
parades and Expos.
In
harness she is beginning
her driving career and
showing enormous
potential to become very
competitive in the show
ring with big movement
and a great deal of
"look at me",
stallion-like presence.
That she is a sweet,
affectionate soul is
merely the icing on the
cake! There's is nothing
this mare hasn't done
when asked (including
having a superb
foal!). Affectionate and
kind, she is a pure
joy to be around and one
of the nicest horses to
work with that I have
ever experienced.
If she were a person,
Magpie wouldn't be a
couch potato, content to
sit on the sofa eating
popcorn. She'd be that
friend who knocks on the
door at 6.00 o'clock in
the morning with two
mugs of coffee in her
hand wanting to know if
you wanted to go hike in
the mountains with her.
She
wants to be out and
about, having fun and
meeting people. She's
quite the socialite!

Just after her first bath of '08.
Feather and tail still wet.
...and after her first bath of '09. That
mane just keeps on growin'!!!


I bought Pie as my driving horse so
she hadn't been ridden in 2 years.
We thought we'd see how much she
remembered!
Her progress in dressage, after just
a few months, is delighting us
daily!
She is huge fun to
ride and really enjoys herself. Her
trainer has been very pleasantly
surprised at how forward she is and
what an incredible work ethic she
has. She enjoys Pie a great deal!
Before she
came to live with us she competed at
training level dressage and will be
ready to compete again sooner than we
had anticipated, she just loves to
work!

Braids and feather flying!

Only Magpie's 10th time in harness...what
a good girl she is!
A brief video clip of her 10th time
in harness!
