Born: 1978
Sire: Big Bluffer (Thoroughbred)
Dam: Sunshine
Twilight, or Twi to her friends, was Sunshine's first foal to be born in Florida for Sunshine's new owner Dr. Sandy Price. Twilight is sired by the Thoroughbred stallion Big Bluffer, a son of the great Bold Ruler.
Twilight was trained in cutting and jumping before finding her true talent in the dressage arena. She was trained in dressage by Kathy Daily. In 1992, Marguerite Henry wrote a book about Twilight's life. The events in Misty's Twilight are for the most part true, with some fictionalization.
Twilight is the dam of four known foals. Her first was Twister foaled in 1984 and sired by a Quarter Horse. Twister was to appear in her dam's book, but her part was cut out before publication. Twi's second foal was Mirage a mare foaled in 1985. Marguerite's Misty Morning was born in 1994 and is sired by the famous Dutch Warmblood stallion Art Deco. Marguerite was foal on Marguerite Henry's birthday, hence her name. Twilight's last foal is Moon Shadow a 1999 flashy pinto mare sired by a Paint. After Moon Shadow was born Dr. Price didn't want to risk Twi having another foal.
Twilight retiring from riding a few years after Moon Shadow was born. Twit made it clear that she was no longer intersted in such things when Dr. Price rode her one day. Although it is not confirmed it is likely that Twilight has died.
