3/22/2002 - 5/24/2007 Maribel was a beautiful, sweet sabino chestnut mare. We lost her on 5/24/07 to a bad intestinal twist. She had very nice conformation and movement that took your breath away. She was an excellent mother; very patient, sweet and protective - she would let anyone handle her foal. She was with us for less than 2 years, but she made a lasting mark in our lives and in our hearts. She left behind a 3 week old colt, who was lucky enough to be adopted by one of our other broodmares. Rest in peace, sweet Belle. We will miss you!
