Debbie
Foaled Approx. 1984
15 hand Sorrel Quarterhorse Mare
I took Debbie, a quarterhorse mare, approximately 20 years old, who had been in retirement due, I think, to some severe injury to the left side of her body. Debbie is about 15 hands, and with some treatment by Laurie Henkel, I think will be a useful addition to TGC. She came with her own goat family, Arnold, Jamie Lee and Angie. (See the goats' photo below)
Most interesting of all about Debbie is how she has caught the attention of Orion. For all the years Ori has been with me, he has steadfastly stood by the side of first Andy, and then Falcon when Andy died. I was certain he was gay. He never expressed any interest at all in the mares, even when they went into season. But Orion is essentially a caretaker, and taking care of Andy had been his self-appointed job. Falcon is far too sturdy and independent - he would allow Ori to follow him around while he played bite-my-face with Navigator and Buck, but didn’t really care if Ori was there or not. When Debbie showed up, Ori’s need for someone to watch over was met. The two were inseparable from about Deb’s 3 rd day until Orion died.
Once Orion died, for some reason Mary decided Debbie needed protecting, and elected herself. The two are inseparable gal pals now.
