Ansata Sabbara was a classically beautiful mare with large dark soft eyes that danced off your soul. Her presence was royalty. Her tail flagged as she pounded out the trot with riveting action. She was intelligent and independent, yet demanding. She was always the first to greet with an ear piercing scream. But, this one would stand quietly for hours as she was groomed especially enjoying a soft massage around her ears when in foal. During those quiet moments, the bond she developed with her groom was the strongest bond. She has given us a lifetime of memories and left a valuable contribution to the breed. We were very fortunate to have had her on our small farm.
