Sapphire was bred by the same person who bred Harriett, I was working on the yard over the winter and fell in love with Sapphire.  I told the owner I would buy her and went down to catch her from the field and it took me two days to catch her.  She was very head shy and although she wanted to come in and see me she freaked out every time I went near her head.  She went back out with a string hanging from her headcollar to help with the catching situation after that.  A few weeks later she eventually went out without a headcollar again.  

I broke Sapphire in slowly and had a little fun with her before turning her away.  I was going to breed a foal from her but changed my mind, bringing her back into work and took her to her first show.  It was obvious she had a talent when it came to showjumping and one day when Milo came out of his box with a fat leg we loaded up Sapphire and she competed for BSJA in his place.  Everything was so much easier with Sapphire, she made the strides unlike Milo so I tended to opt for taking her out rather than Milo.   But one day I decided it was Milo who my dream began with to compete BSJA so I should do it on him and due to losing my transport I broke my own heart and decided to sell her.  She sold to an amazing home who wanted to event her and it was the best home I could ever ask for her.  I missed her dearly and always regretted selling her.  She was such a sweet mare with a heart of gold.  

Sapphire was sadly PTS a few years ago after being retired for many years from kissing spine.
