Kizzy

Around 8:30 p.m. on May 11,2007, just as it began to get dark, John went out to put Bobbi in the barn for the night . He came back with the news that she had given birth. The first Vanner born at Superior Stables was here! I joined him to help get them to the barn and discovered a filly. Kizzy, Romney for Spice Tree, is a beautiful solid grey filly with a blaze and socks, not the typical Vanner stockings. She loves people and it is a good thing that our stalls have open fronts because her head is always out, waiting for a rub and kiss. In 2008 Kizzy entered the show ring in the lead line obstacle class. Watching my baby Kate guide 4 month old baby Kizzy gently and carefully through the obstacles using natural horsemanship techniques brought tears to my eyes. Kizzy and Katie did such a great job they placed first in the large class of adult horses and handlers. Kizzy continues to be a joy and has now proven to a good therapy horse as well. She is quick and loves to learn and play. We plan to show her again soon and expect her to pass on her amazing temperament and shape to her 2011 Teddy baby. 7/10
