Foxhaven Clan: Legend
Our move to Westcliffe, in large part, was our desire to provide a better home for our animals. We also wanted to experience a rural lifestyle and enjoy the pace of a small town.
We named our ranchette Foxhaven, after our favorite wild animal, the fox. Their resilience, cleverness, and sleek beauty speaks to us. Plus, their antics and play make us smile.
For the next month or so members of the Foxhaven clan will be introducing themselves. Enjoy their stories!
Hello, my name is Legend, Perfecta’s Little Andy’s Legend. It is rumored that I started this “whole animal menagarie” at Foxhaven! A bit of my history might be helpful. I lived until I was five years old at Indian Peaks Ranch. It is a great ranch in Bennett, Colorado. John and Jennifer Bennett loved, trained and showed me to my championship, with a standing of top five in the world of miniature stallions! I sired several colts and was loving life when Bill and Lise visited the ranch. It was love at first sight for all of us.
Bill helped me learn new skills and we became a driving team, and compete in combined driving contests. It is so fun to zoom around the obstacles and show off my handsome trot. Everyone says I am a handsome chap, and I am confident that I am a charmer, too. Maybe I can charm you someday?
Lise and Bill work with me as a therapy horse too. I love visiting people and have good manners inside human homes, even those with elevators. I am not afraid of the different sounds or unusual things in these indoor places we visit. I also get lots of smiles and feel the peace & calm that surrounds my new friends. I like to get all brushed out and clean, too, for the visits.
Most of all though, I love being in the pasture with my equine family: Sneakers, Sam, Gold and Dakotah. Sneakers is my bratty son; Gold, my best friend; Sam, my knight and protector; and Dakotah, my role model.
Loving life here in Westcliffe. I can feel the calm in my human family, too. Makes my heart smile, my tail flick and …. neigh neigh …. I get more treats, too! I am Legend…legendary in my love, talent, big horse heart and the sweet memories I leave until my trail of this life.
