There's a racehorse gelding at the barn for summer break that she's become fast friends with. They have stalls beside each other and Sandy protects him in pasture. Everyone calls the gelding her boyfriend. He is called Five because he is five years old.

She's really robbing the cradle with her lil summer fling. She'll be 27 in September lol.

If I had money, I'd try to buy Five so Sandy could enjoy him for longer lol

Maybe Sandy can meet Six next summer break again?

I would love that. She doesn't make friends easily so having him come stay for his breaks would be great.

Did she ever have a foal? Wondering if she could be having some maternal instinct with him.

Otherwise, you GO girl! This story, like all Sandy posts, really made me smile. 🦄

She was a brood mare at one point, so she could definitely be taking on a more motherly role with him lol
