"Pride and Possibility" 2006 © by Suzanne Grassell

When my own mare foaled in 1990, I was surprised to see how proud she was of the barn’s new addition. Two days after giving birth in a box stall, she was released into the arena. Arching her neck and prancing, she galloped joyfully past the row of stalls where boarders kept their horses. The brand new colt raced at her side, tail waving jauntily in the air. My mare neighed at the top of her lungs, announcing her new status as a mom – and all the horses lined up to see and answer her call. Like curious neighbors they took note of my new colt – and I smiled as I watched him run, wondering what his life would be like. “Pride and “Possibility” captures the emotion of that day – a mare’s pride, and the wonder of a foal’s possibility.
