| Rojalazan 1970 AQHA Sorrel Mare aka "Fina" "a faithful heart and true..." |
| Fina being patient with me while I prepare for a beginning dressage test at Spring Down Farm, Portola Valley, CA circa 1978. |
| Fina gave us several foals, but none could replace her: |
| Old time foundation breeding, heavy on the Peter McCue, with a little Three Bars and Poco Bueno |
| Picture above taken at BlackHawk Ranch when it was a cattle and horse ranch; before they planted hundreds of McMansions all over it. |
| Fina was my childhood dream come true. My first horse, purchased when I was in college, from a wonderful gentleman cowboy in Soulsbyville. She was only two years old, untrained and without much human contact. Vern handled her and rode her in a bosal for two weeks before I picked her up. We had many adventures together and I spent every moment possible with her. She became my first broodmare once I embarked into breeding quarter horses and gave us beautiful babies. |
