What’s a “Blue Hen” mare, you ask? Well, they’re top-notch, super star mares that create performers, kind of like our first 25 grant donors! 

“Recognizing the initial 25 donors to the organization as ‘Blue Hens’ harkens back to the top mare in a bloodline,” said Anna Morrison, co-founder and president of Boss Mares, Inc. “A blue hen mare is one that has proven herself exceptional and whose influence has impacted the generations after her, much like our initial donors who felt moved to help further the goals of women in the Western industry.”
