Sammy, you are a very special person to have kept tabs on this very special little baby, as it was truly a labor of love on Cindy Leeper's part to get Faith to the point where she could eat solid food. Even though Cindy works nights, has a 40 head herd and a family to raise, she worried constantly about Faith and tried so many things to get this precious filly to "eat". She dared not think past another day, let alone a future with you (which she knew would be a wonderful home for her).
If only folks knew how happy my soft spoken friend was when you came to "bring Faith home"! From the moment this filly was born, she has been loved, in spite of her special needs. Cindy dared not let on that this precious baby would be yours if she made it.....and if your family fully understood her special needs before Faith would come home to you.
Cindy Leeper is one of best kept secrets in the mini world, as she's a humble person tending to her beloved minis. I drove from NE Wisconsin to South Dakota to purchase two weanlings from her a few years ago. She's a straight shooter and we've remained friends, which is an honor. Although she's been raising minis for over 25 years, she is open to learning new things to help her herd, and has shared valuable advice based on experience.
