Oh my Rosie... Words cannot explain you. My first Andalusian, a dream come
true. I waited a long time for you. Our friendship is so strong, we
shared so much. We spoke on an unheard level. You were always there to comfort
knowing just how to make things better. You were a once in a lifetime
cherished gift. Your spirit like a precious diamond, full of fire,
clarity, sparkle, and such strength. Your Soul most highly spiritual
knowing only love. You always presented yourself with pride and grace
realizing your amazing beauty. Expressions so unmistakably clear showing
how you felt about every little thing, oh the things you taught and shared with
me. Everyone loved you, your sweet nature, your gentle way. Eagerly
awaiting a little treat from anyone who wished to offer. It was hard to
resist! Sometimes drinking apple cider from a paper cup, or enjoying the
sweet nutritious cakes and deserts little Melissa made just for you on your
birthday and special days. You also loved a good scratch on the neck and felt
much better once your teeth were clean. You would carry your riders as if they
were royalty and you were their chosen mount. Giving your all for Melissa
in the races you would participate in at the ranch. Most successfully in
the egg and spoon race, your smooth grace gliding her across the chaotic arena.
You realized the importance of the "game" and was always the most
beautiful horse by far. A luxurious full snow white tail
softly caressing the ground behind you. Your large soft yet very wise
black eyes curious under a silken forelock . Your presence will always
be. The most loving mother to your precious little foals. How
sacred they are...
Airosa T was the only daughter
of the Caprichoso S x Oriana S cross. Her parents were both National
Champions imported from Spain. These very historic and famous bloodlines
are rare to find throughout the entire world. Caprichoso S himself
was legendary. He was a multiple National Champion halter and performance
stallion who loved to dance.
