When Invergowrie heard about the Range Trotters' Safari Event Bree immediately went into preparation mode, hopeful that she'd find another foundation stallion or mare at the event to add to Invergowrie's fledgling Range Trotter breeding program alongside Mahou. The event not only boasted a selection of trotters with unique african safari markings but there were also foundation stallions available for stud. Bree had her eye on a few trotters at the event but couldn't resist a particular golden palomino mare, complete with a cute appaloosa blanket and colobus monkey markings, and had to submit a bid for her! Invergowrie's bid was successful and this mare would go on to be Minenhle's dam, Mbalenhle.

With african heritage on both of sides of her bloodlines — her other dam Lena is also a safari trotter and where Minenhle gets the beautiful bontebok roan dusting from on her shoulders — Minenhle's arrival was eagerly anticipated. In the days leading up to her arrival Mbalenhle was especially fussed over and the stable was abuzz with anticipation and speculation of whether or not the two mares would pass down their safari markings to the foal. Mbalenhle did everyone proud and, although it wasn't the easiest birth as it was her first, foaled a little palomino filly with both bontebok roan and colobus monkey markings. Minenhle had arrived!

The soft rays of the morning sun bathed the tranquil pasture where Minenhle, the gentle Range Trotter broodmare, stood. By her side, a spirited and inquisitive foal named Mhambi, whose show name, "Angel with a Handgun," hinted at the unique blend of elegance and spirit she possessed.

Mhambi had been born in the heart of spring, her arrival welcomed by the lush green surroundings and the melodious songs of the birds. From the very beginning, she displayed an independent spirit, her sparkling eyes taking in the world with curiosity.

Minenhle, ever the devoted mother, watched over her precious foal with unwavering love. Mhambi was her firstborn, and the bond between mother and daughter was unbreakable. The gentle broodmare couldn't help but dote on her spirited offspring.

As Mhambi took her tentative first steps, Minenhle was there, her nose nuzzling her foal's small form for reassurance. She guided Mhambi through the lush grass and introduced her to the other horses in the pasture, ensuring her daughter felt safe in the herd.

Mhambi's boundless energy and thirst for adventure led her to explore the pasture fearlessly. She pranced, leaped, and galloped with an infectious enthusiasm that brought a smile to Minenhle's face. The broodmare watched, her heart swelling with pride, as Mhambi displayed her athleticism and spirit.

Minenhle's calm and patient demeanor was a perfect complement to Mhambi's spirited nature. She taught her foal valuable life lessons, from understanding the herd hierarchy to the art of grazing and grooming. Mhambi, in turn, absorbed these lessons with a quick and eager mind.

But it was in the quiet moments that the bond between Minenhle and Mhambi truly shone. Under the shade of the old oak tree, they would stand together, Minenhle's warm presence a comforting anchor for her foal. Mhambi would nuzzle into her mother's soft coat, seeking warmth and security.

As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Mhambi continued to grow. Her spirit remained undiminished, her determination unwavering. Minenhle, the ever-loving mother, continued to dote on her, watching with pride as her foal blossomed into a charismatic and confident young horse.

In their tranquil pasture, amidst the gentle breeze and the chorus of nature, Minenhle and Mhambi shared a bond that would endure a lifetime. The spirited foal, "Angel with a Handgun," had been raised with love and guidance by her devoted mother, creating a foundation for a promising future filled with adventure and success.
