17 years ago today a legend was born!
The story started sometime in the 1980's when my grandfather bought a 2 year old $35 black pony stud c**t at a livestock auction in Pennsylvania. They named him Thunderboy and he went on to teach my mom, her brothers and sisters, and plenty of other kids how to ride. He sired plenty of foals in his lifetime but his 2nd to last foal was the one that resembled him the most. We were just boarding Trust at the time she foaled, but when my mom saw the new filly she wanted that foal to be part of her children's childhood just like Boy had been part of hers. 4 months later we traded a chainsaw for the black filly and it ended up being one of the best trades we've ever made. She went on to grow up and be the most influential equine in my life. I can't wait to share her legacy with my children and hopefully someday my grandchildren. To me and many others she'll always be a legend! Happy Birthday Midnight, you're the best!!!
