Dappled Dunalino With Star and Snip

Esper was born wild. She was just a yearling when the mustang roundup caught her herd. While others were released, she and other young ones were auctioned off. She would be bought by a father wanting a horse for his daughter. As she seemed to be the most gentle one of the bunch, she was the one he chose. Unlike most, he gentle broke her not wanting to harm her or destroy her spirit. Esper liked her new home and loved her young girl who promised her that they would win all kinds of ribbons in barrel racing. Esper didn't understand any of it. She just liked listening to her speak and how she smiled. It would be a big black splash stallion named Cortega that told her about what barrel racing meant. He would also tell her about the other Western disciplines. He also told her many stories of her little girl. All the stories made her love Paulie more and more.
