The Story of Little Orphan Annie

Little Orphan Annie was born in 1985 to a Hilaches daughter by the name of Habanera que tal. This was her first baby and she did not want to nurse so there was a delay in Annie getting the nourishment she needed. She was a little frail and did not grow fast. When she was a weanling, she injured her hip, which caused a slight deformity in her rear conformation. Her owners Stan and Jeantte Snider knew they would not be able to show her and it would be difficult to get anyone to care for her properly, so she was adopted by Georgie and Raymond Guidry who took her home to love in 1987. She remained small and narrow in build, and was a pretty black with two hind socks and star. Her tail grew so long it dragged at least 6-8 inches on the ground. The Guidry's grandchildren trained and rode her. She never faultered in her gait and was full of brio. She also gaited naturally in the pasture, and was exceptionally smooth under saddle, even with the bad hip.

The Guidrys kept her until July 2002. By this time, the grandchildren had grown, so she was just sitting around. A friend had a little girl so we gave her to the little girl to ride. I just spoke with the friend and she has given her again to another little girl to ride who lives not too far away in Hammond, LA. Annie has a 30 acre pasture to run in and is still giving pleasure to kids.

Re: Emperador's granddaughter, La Dama Diamonte (La Captiva de Raphael)
