"Jypsi" is a 1998 Paso Fino mare, and is Sarah's primary trail mount. She was purchased from Janice Stark in Utah, who offered to sell her to Sarah even though she wasn't for sale. She's an outstanding horse and has carried Sarah hundreds of miles through the desert and mountains, places she would have never been able to go because of a neurological disorder that makes walking and other tasks very difficult. Sarah uses a crutch and sometimes a wheelchair (and sometimes a horse!)
