Birthday Celebrations for an Arabian Horse

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the birthday of a very special Arabian horse. I can't believe it's been eighteen years since my first experience as a breeder of Arabian horses, my how time flies when you're having fun.

It was on July 1, 1990 that Scandal Sheet was born. Words can't even describe the amazing experience that began on that day. I knew when I first looked at that foal that ours would be a special relationship. I had no idea how much he would teach me and how he would change my life.




Had my fanny not been dragging from rising early to ride six horses before the day's heat, followed by farrier and vet visits, untangling poor Solidare's mess of a mane and then dashing off to a board of directors meeting for the Daffodil Arabian Horse Association, I might have actually got this tribute to Dandy posted on his actual birthday. But I'm pretty sure the horse won't mind as long as he got his birthday treat.......which happened today......and lots of scratches which I try to do on a daily basis.



Most of you know about Dandy from my series of posts Rachel and Grandma and an Arabian Horse that started about this time last year. I also posted about His Birth and have been running a series about his life Baby Boomer Dreams - Dandy's Story with still have lots more of this amazing Arabian horse's story to tell that I hope to resume once I get the results of the region 4 championships caught up.


Part 1

In the meantime I thought it was appropriate to celebrate Dandy's birthday with a mention here and some of my favorite baby pictures of this remarkable horse. He may not have lots of Nationals and Regionals titles to his credit but this horse has earned all the love and respect I have for him.

Happy Birthday, Dandy!
