Solitaire came to us as a foal, growing an alter-ego as she matured into adulthood, a second self she calls "Ace of Spades." She has a tendency to appear in our stories like the old Western tale's classic mysterious stranger, save the day as "Ace of Spades," then return home to us and her original name. We can never decide what to think of it...is she melodramatic...self-conscious...or both? No matter; she's still our dear, sweet little foal, and we're proud of our real-life superhero. Ride em' Ace; ride em'!
