Sarita's dam, Cheyenne, was one of our favorite mares. Cheyenne was captured as a youngster in Kiger HMA than released into Riddle HMA. She was re-captured when she was 10 and adopted out. Somewhere along the way, she was severely injured. We were her third owners and we decided that she would live out her days here. We purchased her when she was in foal with Sarita. She produced one additional foal, Navajo, while she was with us. We finally let her go to the 'green pasture' above in 2007 when her arthritis from her previous injuries were unmanageable. Cheyenne was 24 years old.
