Why Branwen?

A spirited and fast mare embodies the spirit of Branwen. The name captures her keen intelligence, her love for speed that mimics a raven's flight, and her distinctive, striking presence. She is both quick of mind and limb, a blessed and beautiful force.
A spirited dapple Quarter Horse mare who commands attention — the kind of horse that turns heads before even starting to move.
