It’s
hard for me to believe that Dusty is 18 years old today. I’ve had her since she was a frisky five year old and I can say she really hasn’t mellowed much over the years. Dusty is still very opinionated and doesn’t
take any guff from the boys in the herd or me for that matter! Yet, she can be very sweet when it suits her
purposes and I wouldn’t have her any other way.
Being her unique Dusty self is what makes her so special.
We’ve
come a long way in our friendship and training and I hope we continue together for
a long time to come. Happy Birthday my sweet girl. I’m sure there might be a carrot or treat in
your future today.
If
anyone is interested I put together a slide show of Dusty for her birthday last
year. Here’s the link if you’d like to
see it:

She thinks so! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to a beautiful girl! She's just a year older than Dawn, and Dawn's pretty opinionated too - but who minds a feisty mare? Not me!
ReplyDeleteI love her personality! She makes me laugh even when she frustrates me.
DeleteHappy b-day Dusty! :) Lookin good!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGood to see Dusty's pretty face - many happy returns to your feisty girl!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks CFS! Dusty and I hope that you and Val weathered the storm with no drama.
DeleteShe looks fabulous. Doesn't look her age at all. Two of mine are 17 this year and another one is 16 and I've had them since they were two- and three-years-old and they are still a handful. Sometimes I have to stop myself from blurting out, "The colts...."
ReplyDeleteThanks. We've got some older guys too. Mellon is about 26 now and still looking good.
DeleteBirthday greetings for Dusty. She sure is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteDusty thanks you.
DeleteHappy birthday to the lovely golden diva!! I am sure she has many many years to shine. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Billie!
DeleteHappy Birthday Dusty! Hope she enjoyed her special day :) Love her full name, as special as the diva herself! Wishing you two many more happy, memorable years together.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy. I love her full name too. Maybe she thinks she's such a "star" because it's part of her name.
DeleteHappy Birthday Dusty!!!!
ReplyDeleteDusty says thank you and hopes that handsome boy Chrome is doing well!
DeleteThank you! He is. We're sitting around waiting on our farrier to show up bored out of our minds LOL! :D
DeleteHappy Birthday, Dusty! Hope you got some carrots.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean. Carrots AND stud muffins for Dusty and all her friends ;)
DeleteWhat a fitting quote for your golden birthday girl, who no doubt gleams in the sun. I enjoyed the slideshow of Dusty in beautiful surroundings. I am sure it evoked many fond memories. Happy Birthday to Dusty & neighs to many more!!
ReplyDeleteThank you aurora. I've always liked that quote too.
DeleteHappy birthday (belated) to the beautiful Dusty. A year older, a year wiser? Does that apply to horses? Maybe that should read "A year older, a wiser owner"
ReplyDeleteThanks. Good point, I hope we're both wiser each year we age!
