Sirena has been an interesting story.
8 years ago, in 1999 when Sirena was 23 years old, I heard
about her from a friend of a friend.
She had colicked 6 times in 2 months and was living in a 12 X 12
stall. The people that had her didn't have the means (or perhaps
the interest) to try and help her.
I suggested they bring her to my house. At the time, we had two
horses Fuji, my Paso Fino, and Lacy, my daughter's barrel
Welsh-Arab pony who recovered from terminal cancer thanks to
Dynamite. I didn't ride, never intended to. Too old to start I
thought.
Well, Sirena arrived, thin and covered with sores. I was told that
her diet consisted of All in One as that was all she could eat without colic.
Not at my house! Using scissors, I cut up grass hay into short pieces, started her on
Dynamite original and DynaPro on top of Raemakers. Started letting her out in the
pasture.
After a while, I cut back the Raemakers, eventually stopped all together and stopped
cutting up the grass hay. Of course she had dental work the first week she lived with
me.
She got glossy and her eyes cleared up, started playing in the pasture with the other
two.
After about two months, I got a phone call from the people who owned her saying that
they wanted her back for a lesson horse for their kids. Well, I did some fast talking
and they sold her to me for $850.
I started riding her around the pasture and then on trail rides. My daughter was 10 at
the time and babysat me pretty well. Sirena took very good care of me.
Eventually while I was trying to get Fuji registered, I was talking to the Paso Fino
Registry office and mentioned that I had this mare, Sirena. We found her in the
registry.
She had been imported from Puerto Rico in 1978, had 12 registered babies and had
been one of the important dams in Paso Fino history in the US.
She is a Queen!
I am so grateful to be hers.
.... and I do think she is grateful to be running free in the pasture with her Paso
buddies, left to right: Sirena, Cinquena, Fuji, & Beamer (Fuji's son, Moonbeam), in
addition to Lacy, the Welsh-Arab, and Tucker, the Kentucky Mountain horse, who are
not in this photo.
