Last Monday I attended the Woodford County fair to cheer on my friend’s niece and nephew. I couldn’t help but look at a cute paint mare riding in the green cross-rails classes. I asked the trainer about the mare and found out she was McKenzie from the Kentucky Equine Humane Center. I had visited McKenzie when she came to the center in the winter.
She has a great new life as a lesson horse. From what I could tell, she was as sweet-natured as could be and was learning just as much, if not more, than her sweet rider. It’s so fun to see success stories in action.
