Description
Sweetheart is described as a black pinto american paint mare with a distinctive white marking on one hip in the shape of a heart. She is described as being exceedingly gentle.

Mustang Moon
Sweetheart is first mentioned in Mustang Moon. She is introduced as Gram's horse from when Wyatt and Louise were first married and is noted to have been schooled to be very gentle. When Ace is moved to a separate pen to prevent the other pasture horses from picking on him, Sam picks her to be moved as well to be Ace's friend. One night, while in their pen, Hammer came and stole Sweetheart to be part of his band. Sweetheart was seen the next day by Sam while riding Strawberry until the Phantom arrived and chased Hammer and his band off. Sweetheart was seen with Hammer again when the stallion returns to Gold Dust Ranch to steal Kitty for his band. However, once Sam's photo of the rogue stallion is published, Brynna was able to capture the missing horse and his mares, returning Sweetheart to River Bend Ranch.
