Hopi

Hopi/Helenium was born in 2007 to Sandman and Rosebud. She is dun with a large star, stripe and snip 1HP.

Hopi gave birth to Lancaster('11) Removed, Outlaw Lady('14), Quintasket('16). The latter two with Duke.

Reported by Dennis McCollough. Christel (also seen as Christine) Quintasket (c. 1884-1936) was a writer who told the stories of Native American tribes in the early 20th Century. The filly's mom was given two names that honor her mom, Rosebud. The Cloud Foundation named her Hopi to match the Indian connection of the Rosebud Sioux. We named her, Helenium, to carry on a reference to plants. Christel Quintasket has a quote that we think blends the names together: “Everything on the earth has a purpose,every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission.This is the Indian theory of existence." Thanks to Ginger Kathrens for suggesting this name.
