Barbabella

But somehow, we just knew she would grow into something extraordinary, and we named her Barbabella. We weren’t wrong. Today, she is breathtakingly beautiful, exuding the deep, soulful elegance of Sophia Loren with eyes reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn—dark, deep, and captivating.

We always keep her mane long because it perfectly complements her style, giving her the majestic appearance of a Spanish horse. Unfortunately, we’re not the only ones who noticed her beauty. In an unexpected turn of events—something we still can’t quite believe happened at a professional training center—she got pregnant during her pre-training. The result was a stunning filly we named BB. The name stands for “Beloved Bastard,” a playful nod to her unexpected arrival.

Because of this, Barbabella’s racing career never began. Watching her race alongside her mother in the paddock, we can’t help but feel a pang of regret—she clearly inherited her mother’s talent. However, Barbabella found her calling elsewhere. She’s the epitome of a natural-born mother, super protective, endlessly loving, and nurturing. If she were human, she’d be an Italian mama, always with a pot of pasta on the stove and an open heart for her family.

These days, Barbabella has embraced life as a leisure horse. She loves peaceful rides through the forest, always taking great care of her rider with her gentle, sweet nature.
