Painted Gold was a wonderful show mare, with many titles to her credit.  She was a wonderful broodmare, producing show-ring champions.  But her last role as world-class babysitter is what she will always be remembered for here.  ​When my daughter was very small, she and PG, as we call her, struck up a wonderful friendship.  Aspen toted PG everywhere.  And, PG was always willing to follow.  Aspen would play, brush, and love on PG for hours at a time.  I'm honestly surprised PG never ended up in the house.  One day, I saw my little child hauling a little step stool over to PG and jumping on for a ride.  PG had never had anyone on her back before, but she went willingly along with anything Aspen wanted.  It wasn't long before I would see them galloping up and down the hallway of the barn.  I always trusted PG with Aspen and when I say she has earned her retirement....believe me, she has earned it!  She turned 30 years old this year and looks like a teenager.  We treasure this little mare!
