“Zoe” – 2015 chestnut filly
Colonel Doc Bar Chex x Valid Sue Sue by Valid Expectations (TB)
LBE/LBI, medium spirit
Zoe was the first foal born in 2015, and she came into this world confident and curious. Named after the lead character in the quirky TV series Hart of Dixie, Zoe is smart, enthusiastic and friendly. A natural leader, she easily directs the herd and tells her herd mates what to do and when. Zoe is the first to volunteer, whether it’s play time or deworming time, and loves interaction with humans. With that, she has cherished her preschool sessions and is a fast learner. If you are looking for a super partner, Zoe’s playfulness and curiosity will make you smile every day.
