Sweet Ambition arrived at Our Mims Retirement Haven May 8, 2018.
Sweets is a beautiful mixture of stunning mare and race horse. She can, indeed, be very sweet. And, most of the time, she is. Except when she isn't. We call her and Jo Jo the "not ready for prime time players." Still, Sweets is often the first to greet us in the pasture and nicker in the pre dawn chill.
"Sweets" came to The Haven in 2018 needing a soft place to land. Sweet Ambition was found in a kill pen in Louisiana and the folks that found her there notified Millennium Farms, where she was bred. She raced for Millennium, proudly wearing their silks, and when she came off the track, she was used as a broodmare - having 4 foals. At some point she was sold and that person later sent her, and her Dam to the kill pen.
After being notified she was in a bad place, Millennium Farm paid to have her pulled from the auction house, and she was sent to their farm in Paris, KY. Millennium only stands stallions and doesn't have a broodmare band anymore, so they needed to find a place for her to go. Our Mims Retirement Haven was chosen and we were honored.
Sweets is a favorite by everyone who visits. And she is just that - SWEET, and she even has a 'sweet tooth', as we have found. She won't turn down a chocolate donut or candy bar! She and JoJo's Gypsy are good buddies, and are marked so much alike it's often hard to tell them apart. Sweets has white on a couple of her feet, but the tell-tale sign is her too-short tail. She can be spotted anywhere in the field by looking for the short tail! Early on, she established herself as Kidnap Katie's 'right hand'. Katie is the herd leader, and Sweets was her 'enforcer'.
There really is all-too-different personalities among The ladies, and it's really a 'thing'. Sweets will be one of the first, if not THE first to greet you when you arrive. She's super social, and has a very loving, gentle disposition.
Her quote is, "I am Wild, I am Wicked, I am Peaceful, I am Free".
