    The horse I ride is the half-sister to Big Star and they are so incredibly similar. Both are such amazing, talented and special horses.

      In horse breeding, all horses by the same Sire are not half brothers and half sisters. It is not like humans.
      Only when the horse is out of the same mare (same Dam), are they half siblings.

    What an incredible horse and groom hes got, grooms are not always thanked for all the hard work they do,if it wasnt for the grooms i dont know what the riders would do without them. From an x groom.
