EMIE
Emie is curious, sweet, clever and inquisitive. She was born to her mother, Starr, shortly after Starr arrived at Flag Ranch. Starr, along with our mare Skye, was sent to auction by Harris Ranch, a prominent California Thoroughbred breeder, when she was eight months pregnant with Emie.
When Emie was a yearling, we got a call from the breeder asking to buy her back as they had fetched $20K for her brother. We said more than just an impolite “no.” If racing weren’t what it is, she would have excelled on the track.
Her full name – Confi e’ mi – means “trust me” in Spanish. Once an unsure foal, now she’s confident, playful, swift, and loves her life with her herd.
