Since she came to her trainer’s barn in February, she’s been stealing hearts left and right with her gentle soul and infectious charm. Ready to meet the mare who’s as sweet as a peppermint?
Big Mama’s Charm: The Details That Make Her Shine
- Age & Size: Eight years young, standing tall at 16.1 hands—a perfect blend of elegance and presence.
- Personality: The kindest, sweetest mare you’ll ever meet. No marish attitude here—just pure, heart-melting goodness.
- Ground Manners: A dream to handle! She’s a breeze to groom, loves a good bath, and has manners that would make any horse mom proud.
- Travel Star: Loads like a pro onto step-up or ramp trailers and has traveled far and wide with her previous trainers, always cool as a cucumber.
- Clean Bill of Health: This 8-year-old has the cleanest legs her trainer has ever seen—flawless front legs and just an old, non-issue scar on her left hind cannon bone. No vices, no drama!
- Favorite Treats: Shredded carrots are her jam, and she’ll gently nibble a peppermint (or four, or five—who’s counting?) with the daintiest manners.
- Quirky Charm: She’s got a signature move—two happy bucks when she hits the track. It’s not a naughty buck; it’s her way of saying, “Yay, I’m free!” After 23 hours in a stall, who can blame her? Her trainer bets this playful habit will fade with more turnout and a new routine.
- Impressive Bloodlines: Empire Maker, Unbridled, Danzig, Nijinsky, Fappiano, Roberto, Northern Dancer, Neartic, Princequillo
