The Girl Gang
Everyone that knows about Legacy knows about our Girl Gang. The girls are such a big part of our day to day life at Legacy and they are the ones who really run the show. Whether they are patrolling through the barns to check if anyone is willing to feed them again, or they are squawking along side the arena showing their support, the girls steal the show.
