Our Beloved Bastard

Our beloved BB—short for “ beloved Bastard”—is, as I mentioned in Bababella’s story, an accident.

But what an incredible, intelligent, and powerful accident she turned out to be! She grew up on a traditional gallop farm, and whenever trainers came to evaluate the foals or yearlings, they always thought about how she should be on the racetrack. It became a running joke, but the truth is they weren’t wrong.

BB doesn’t have gallop papers, which means she can’t officially race, but that hasn’t stopped her from proving her abilities. During daily gallop training, she effortlessly keeps up with her celebrated grandmother, accomplished mother, and winning uncle. Her strength, speed, and wild, untamed spirit are undeniable.
She’s a force of nature, full of intelligence and curiosity. BB adores human contact—she follows us around, always eager to know what we’re up to, and never hesitates to investigate something new. A true “nature girl,” BB isn’t one for confinement. She dislikes being in a box, preferring to spend her time outside, where she can explore the world around her.

Every day, she has her joyful five minutes of leaping into the air, reminding us of Ferdinand the Bull in her love of life and freedom. Her spirit is infectious, and she’s the embodiment of a carefree hippie, complete with flowers in her (imaginary) hair.

We’re currently transitioning BB into a leisure horse, and she’s taken to the training with ease and enthusiasm. She’s thrilled to learn new things, proving that her curious mind is always ready for adventure. And yes, if you think her name hints at Brigitte Bardot, you wouldn’t be wrong — like Bardot, BB has inherited a stunning beauty, though with her blonde elegance contrasting her mother’s dark-haired grace.

These horseshoe offer more than just a symbol of luck — it provide a personal bond with the horses of Haras Bucephale, reminding us that animals, like us, carry distinct personalities that deserve recognition, respect, and admiration.
