“We’ve only had her a couple of weeks,” Barnes said. “My mom picked her out at the Tom Powers and we bought her there. We loved everything about her. She walks, she jogs, she lopes, and she’s very pretty. She’s been really easy to work with.”
The filly is by Invest In Your Bucks and out of Sweet Dreamin Jeanie. “I think she might have a date in the future with Batt Man – eventually,” Barnes said.
