๐ด๐ Introducing Keno, our youngest resident and the reigning queen of the Breeds Barn! ๐
This 4-year-old Chestnut Rabicano filly is an Old Kentucky Saddler horse with a big personality and even bigger shoes to fill. Her mom was a beloved resident of the Breeds Barn for seven years, and now Keno is doing her best to follow in her hoofstepsโjust with a little extra flair.
Keno is a DIVA in every sense of the word. Attention is expected. Pampering is mandatory. And her morning mash? Absolutely essentialโฆ but ONLY if Chef Trellie makes it. If anyone else tries, sheโll turn her head and let you know that simply wonโt do ๐
Bold, confident, and already stealing hearts, Keno is carrying on her momโs legacy while making one of her very own.
โจ Young, glamorous, and clearly born for the spotlight.
