"Pasquale" Pasquale arrived here in late September, 2004, as a 5 year old unbroke, unregistered Paint gelding. He was the "by product" of a nurse mare farm. Nurse mares are bred so they produce milk, but their natural foals are taken away at a few days old so the mare can be sent to another farm in need of a mare to raise an orphan. Her own natural foal then ends up being the orphan. I don't know anything about his first 5 years or if his former owners gave him a name, since he came to Diamond Run through a third party. However, Pasquale is very quiet, very gentle and should be a dependable riding horse when the mares are out in the pasture raising babies. He had obviously never seen cows before he arrived here and spent a whole day studying the neighbor's cows across the road. He is easy to pick out in a field of Appaloosas and Quarter Horses.
