Spanky's
Bio:
One In A Million is truly what Spanky is. His story is the cinderella story of Red Acre Farm. He is an amazing horse, and no one ever expected him to be as great as he turned out to be. Spanky was bought to be Cindy Hendelman's pleasure horse, but became something much more. When Amanda Steege's horse passed away, Cindy offered to let her ride and show Spanky. So off Spanky went to the horse show, and he won. As Mitch says "He kept winning, so we kept going". Spanky would go to these big A-rated horse shows on the weekends, and come back and be Cindy's pleasure horse during the week! Spanky has gone to so many big shows, like Capitol Challenge, NEHC Medal Finals, and even the National Horse Show!! He was even the first recipient of the NEHC lifetime achievement award! Spanky doesn't really look much like a champion, as he has less than spectacular conformation. It just goes to show you you really can't judge a book by it's cover. Spanky is retired now, as he is in his twenties! He spends his time being turned out with his new best friend, Mac. The two have a lot of fun together, and keep each other in great shape! Sometimes fairy tales really do come true, even if the chances are One In A Million.
