Looking Good after one week in Utah

After watching her run around the pasture doing her lovely canter and floating trot with her tail in the air like an Arab, I have been calling her "Zamba". She looks like she's doing an elegant dance. What a pretty girl!

What is Zamba?

Zamba (rhymes with "lamb") is a traditional dance of Argentina performed by couples who circle each other waving white handkerchiefs very elegantly. The dance can have either a slow and melancholy rhythm or a lively and quick rhythm.

Zambas are composed about every genre, from those that celebrate people or events of Argentinian history, to those that describe the beauty of a region, or of its women.

Today Zamba is frequently danced in the streets of Argentina and always danced in Argentine folklore parties and festivals and national holidays of Argentina.

I picked"Zamba" for her name because of the "dance" theme. Playing in the pasture, she looks like a dancer with the floating gait and her tail waving up like a flag and her white legs like dancing handkerchiefs.
