Lyric is one of the littlest members of our herd. She stands a mere 34" at the withers, and is not planning on growing any more. We bought her in October 2003 from a farm about a 10 minute drive from our house in Colville. She came home with us on her 4-month birthday in the back of our Explorer.

Lyric is a very calm horse. She was imprinted at birth, and absolutely LOVES people. All of the horses in our herd like her, but Staunton is her favorite big horse. He protects her if he feels there's any danger. Moon is Lyric's best buddy though.

In August 2004, I took Lyric to the Northeast Washington Fair. We had tons of fun taking walks around the fairgrounds, meeting the visitors, getting spiffed up (braiding, hoof polish, the whole deal) and winning ribbons. That's right, Lyric won Best of Show in the Miniature category. The ribbon was nearly as big as her!

Lyric and I have recently been working on our driving skills, and she is doing phenomenally well! We frequently can be seen on treks up and down our neighborhood road pulling a tire, and Lyric even contributed some help this past winter when she pulled a sled full of firewood up to the house! I'm fixing a miniature cart to look like a Gypsy cart, with elaborate painting and accents. I am working up to Lyric pulling it.
