Allie's D'Light H.
03-123456--It's always hard to lose one of your babies, but it is
especially hard to lose one that was so special. Allie was a
beautiful homozygous tobiano and, rare for us, a filly.
She had the best disposition of about any of our babies from day one. She
took a special liking to our daughter Allison, (shown here in the picture with
the foal). Allison was here with Sassie when the foal was born and
helped with the imprinting . It seems as if the foal thought Allison was its
mom because from the moment it could stand it would follow Allison or go
to the light she was holding. We started saying "Allie's the light",
and that's how the name came about--Allie'sD'Light. Allison came over
every day and spent time with her foal, rubbing her, picking up her feet,
playing with her ears. This foal was broke and didn't know it.
Allison, (we call her Allie), put the first halter on her and led her
around as if she had been led all her life. But, unfortunately, when
the foal was seven months old, she became very sick. She was ultimatley
diagnosed at the LSU Veterinary School with a very rare heart
problem. We lost her in November, 2003. We still miss
her. She really was Allison's Delight!

Sassie was not rebred in 2003, but was bred to Danney Joe's Sunny Boy for an April 2005
foal.
