Wild Pink Boots had only three starts on the track before entering the broodmare life. In March of 2017, she was found online by Kristan Arrington's friend. The mare was being sold with her colt and also in foal. Arrington's friend was interest in the colt and asked her if she'd be interested in the mare. "Oh my goodness yes!" is what Arrington told her friend. The horses found their way to Maryland and were treated for various health issues. DNA tests reveled the colt was a Thoroubred Trakhener/Holstiener cross and the mare's lip tattoo gave Arrington a bit more information about the beautiful gray mare who is now living out her days as a "pasture puff" with Arrington and her family.

Report of MHC’s Government Relations Committee on the 2024 Maryland Legislative Session
The Maryland General Assembly ended its 446th session at midnight on April 8.
