Born on a family-owned ranch, Spices and Romances—a gentle mare known as “Mimi” to the ranch kids—embodies quiet strength and unwavering compassion. Raised alongside dogs, heritage breed chickens, and goats, her calm demeanor and maternal instincts were evident from an early age, as she guided lost foals back to their mothers and nudged stubborn draft horses during training. Though never bred professionally, Mimi became a beloved “surrogate mom” to hand-reared or orphaned foals, earning a reputation as the “glue” of the herd. Her nurturing spirit extends beyond her own kind; she nuzzles distressed animals, adopts lost wildlife like a stray kitten that once nested in her stall, and even acts as a peacemaker during thunderstorms, circling panicked horses with calm reassurance. Today, her patience and trust make her a vital presence in therapeutic riding programs, where she supports special needs children and veterans. Renowned for her kindness—gently correcting misbehavior without fear—Mimi is equally known for quirks like her greeting ritual of nuzzling new arrivals, her habit of sharing clover patches, and her soft nickers when hearing children laugh. A meticulous groomer, she’ll stand for 30 minutes or more to care for younger horses, even if mischievous foals nibble her saddle. While her unshakable patience and quick emotional attunement are her greatest strengths, Mimi occasionally overextends herself, leading to exhaustion, and struggles to assert dominance against overly aggressive herd members. Her endearing quirks, like standing on her hind legs for apple-honey treats or her aversion to vacuum cleaners (a remnant of a noisy tractor incident as a foal), add charm to her legacy. Nicknamed for her “mama bear” energy and gentle leadership, Mimi transforms chaotic pastures into havens of trust, a living testament to the power of compassion.
