La Sabotière was a racehorse, a famous steeplechaser. Throughout her carreer, she was brave and extremely voluntary.
When she became a brood mare, she had an accident and lost a front leg. That wound did not stop her to take care of her colt till the end.
To take her as our « godmother » is a love affair, it seemed obvious.
This example of tenacity inspire us, as well as that energy to fly over the obstacles, till the finishing line.
Without forgetting the beauty and sense of harmony that such an animal let us feel.
All that encourages us to tell nice stories in order to please the audience.
