My internship was a dream, and not much later in the week the other mares all gave birth to healthy babies. I worked with each one but Tattoo was always the first one I would play with every minute I could be at the barn. He would let me cuddle him while he napped and he even let me halter him at three weeks old. His mother trusted me so much and so did baby Tattoo. When he was only six months old, I was told by my trainers that Tattoo had been sold, and I should prepare myself and him to say good-bye. That was the hardest two months of my life because not only was I in love with the babies, but Tattoo had become a favorite. I had told myself that he was not mine, even from the beginning. So, I vowed to end my internship, it had gone on for longer than it should anyway, and I said good-bye to the almost yearlings.
