It was 24 years ago that my sweet filly, Kisheba's New Moon, was born near
La Crosse at Shorty Kish's boarding farm.
I had bred my mare, Mia, to a Leopard Appaloosa after unsuccessfully
trying to have the blanketed App stud of my dreams woo her. She was turned out in a large pasture with a large Leopard stud who, the
owner claimed, would "take Mia at a full gallop, if necessary and get the
job done!". When Sheba was born she was a zebra look-alike, and Shorty Kish, then 81
years old, called all neighbors and friends to come and view the spectacle
that was born on his farm. He sat in a chair out by his little barn and
spent hours watching Sheba. Thus began my life-long friendship with a
little filly who grew into a HUGE white mare over time. Spots or not,
Sheba has been a faithful friend and riding companion, a great therapeutic
riding horse for Horse Sense and Impact Ranch, and she is content, having
spent her entire life with one owner. For that, we are both eternally
grateful! Happy Birthday, Sheba!
