Meet Pie, the horse of my dreams turned into reality. Ever since I was a little girl, I've harbored a deep admiration for blue roan horses. It all started with a cherished blue roan Breyer model that captured my imagination in childhood.
My fascination only grew as I delved into the world of equine bloodlines, particularly those from SD Farm in the United Kingdom. The Down family's dedication to breeding Gypsy horses spans over two centuries, producing exceptional animals with each generation.
Pie entered my life through a serendipitous encounter. A friend's Facebook post featuring Pie during their visit to SD Farm in 2017 reignited my desire for a blue roan mare of such caliber. Despite Pie not being listed for sale, Bonny Down recognized my passion and we began the journey to bring her home.
In August 2018, accompanied by friends, Dan, Laszlo and Misha made the unforgettable pilgrimage to SD Farm. Bonny and Dixie graciously guided us through the fields, showcasing their magnificent horses, including Pie. Conversations with the Down family and Mr. Steve Down himself enriched my understanding of the breed's heritage.
Pie's journey didn't stop there. Prior to joining our family in the fall of 2018, she blessed the world with four exceptional foals, each a testament to her lineage. Her offspring, scattered across continents, embody the excellence of SD breeding.
In April 2019, Pie's legacy continued as she bore a foal sired by SD The Gambler, now cherished by our dear friends at Wool & Withers Farm in Massachusetts.
Pie's formal training commenced in July 2020, where she effortlessly impressed everyone with her adaptability and skill. Whether in the show ring, at Equine Affaire demos, herding cattle, or navigating trails, Pie's versatility shines through. Her gentle nature, especially with children, endears her to all who meet her.
Pie isn't just a horse; she's a culmination of childhood dreams, a testament to heritage, and a beloved member of our family.
