Tinkerbell, affectionately known as Tink, Tinker, or even Tinkie-Winkie, is our 25-year-old Walking Horse nursemare extraordinaire. Born in 2000, she joined ColdSpring in 2023, and it didn’t take long for everyone here to fall completely in love with her.

Before her nursemare days, Tinkerbell lit up the show arena with her big presence, flashy movement, and that unforgettable flaxen-blonde mane and tail.

Around the barn, Tink is pure joy. Goofy, sweet, and full of personality, she blooms once she feels safe with you. And when she does, you get the full Tinkerbell experience—soft nickers, gentle nudges, and a heart that gives all it has.

Since joining us, Tink has lovingly raised three orphan foals, each one benefiting from her calm, seasoned wisdom. As she reaches her mid-twenties, we know her days as an active nursemare are nearing their close. But she is truly happiest with a baby at her side, and that will remain an important part of every decision we make for her comfort and well-being.

Sponsoring Tinkerbell helps ensure that her golden years are filled with the same love, companionship, and purpose she has given so generously to her foals.
