Dutchess was given this name because she is Konig's girlfriend! (His name means king in German.) Her sire is Sultan, from Holland. Her mother was a registered Thoroughbred from the race track.

She was a dressage schoolmaster, has a kind heart, and is an honest, hard worker — very admirable qualities for a horse who has worked her entire life to serve people who did not return the kindness.

Dutchess was worked into the ground until her body gave out; then she was sold to be used as a brood mare. When she could not conceive, her owner became very angry because she had invested money without the result of a foal. This beautiful horse was headed for slaughter. Fortunately, Second Chance Ranch was able to intervene.
