We really enjoy Monday Creek Publishing Author NC Matheny’s new little stallion, Breeze. Of course, no horse can replace NC’s beloved horse, Casey, but Breeze is making Casey’s pasture his own.
On March 28, 2023, NC brought home Breeze, a six-month old, rescued nurse mare foal. Born in Louisiana, sent to Kentucky along with a nurse mare (not his mother), Breeze was a “teaser” foal - he kept the nurse mares in milk. When he was six months old, he was rescued along with other nurse mare foals by Rolling Oaks Rescue, Cambridge, Ohio. Shortly after, NC bartered for Breeze, the beautiful Kentucky Mountain Horse.
NC writes, “Casey was my horse of a lifetime, but now Breeze has come into my life. I’ve always wanted a Rocky Mountain or Kentucky Mountain horse and began searching over a year ago. When Tabitha at Rolling Oaks Rescue told me about Breeze, I was super excited! Like Casey, Breeze is intelligent, has a tenacious personality and kind temperament. I suggested to Tabitha that I trade my services (networking, digital design, and business consultation) if she could find a Kentucky Mountain registered Palomino colt. I had an airtight list of requirements – not just any horse. Well, the airtight list got thrown out the window. Breeze can never be registered, but he’s definitely Kentucky Mountain horse foundation stock, a golden Palomino with a blonde main and tail.
“At the time, I thought, ‘Oh, am I ready for this? Could I possibly let another horse back into my life? Will this horse be Casey #2?’ Well, 20 months later, yes, he’s Casey 2.0. Remembering Casey and his Hard Way to Go moments, I know that it’s not all about the horse that makes a 2.0, it’s about horsemanship and the connection between me and Breeze.”
