Show Name: casper
Barn Name: casper
Age: six
Gender: stallion
Color: black
Breed: shire
Height: 18.0 hands
Personality:

casper has a personality and attitude that shines forever. he is a very willing horse that would do anything to keep his master safe. he will obey as much as he can with new aids, and he gets easily frustrated if he doesn't get a long enough reward. casper is huge on depending on rewards. casper is a huge attention sleeper, and loves the attention. casper is also a very curious, yet nervous boy, though is quite brave when it comes to the trails - plastic bags and new obstacles are other stories.

History:

casper has had quite the easy life. he was bred on a shire farm, where he was bought at the day he hit the ground, coming from a dam and sire that have been known for their wonderful horsepower in towing and pulling carriages. the couple that had bought casper got him when he turned eight months, and he went into training at about sixteen months. he went into training for hauling large equipment and during his training days, by day thirty he ended up with a shoulder injury due to too early of training.

because of his injury, towing and hauling carriages and large equipment went down to the drain, and before he was about to be put down, arianna had found lot of potential with him and saved his life in no time. right before she had moved, she was still working with jonathon field, so casper has had about twenty three days professional natural horsemanship training with johnathon and arianna. and since arianna had the knowledge for dressage, he is still working up his levels, though each day he has gotten better.

Show Name: budweiser
Barn Name: bud
Age: eight
Gender: gelding
Color: bay
Breed: clydesdale
Height: 17.2 hands
Personality:

bud's personality is the loudest out of arianna's three horses. he is full of character. he is a bit on the anti social side of things, but he still loves attention. he is one of arianna's better naturally trained boys, and he lives up to that title. he is very willing, curious and loves to play with things. he is never the kind to be agressive, only towards the barn cats and he always puts one hundred percent into anything he does. another thing that many people find interesting about bud is that he has a huge fear of goats. sure ari could make him stand there and look at goats, but with some horses, there are just some things that just / won't / happen. goat tying is one of them for bud. this large boy si also known for his huge trust bond issues. bud and arianna are still working on things, and they still have their moments, which are quite clear, but since he was given to her from jonathon, he is trained, and trained well. so, he holds that title in the barn out of casper and bayjour aswell.

History:

bud's dam was a retired clydesdale that pulled carriages around newyork city, while his sire was a bit more famous. he was known as one of the 'Budweiser' stallions that carried the carriage with other stallions that looked like mirrored images of himself. bud was sold off to where his sire was kept, and trained there for a bit, but since they found that he was a bit too skiddish for working with the others, they decided to sell him. he ended up with another older couple who kept him until he was five, then put him through professional training. although bud didn't last long there since he was known for breaking fences, so he was run through the auction where jonathon field found him.

once johnathon got his hands on bud, he trained him professionally for natural horsemanship and was still green in the saddle, but when arianna had styarted working with him, they kind of clicked like lego. so when arianna had to move, johnathon decided to give her bud since they worked so well together.

Show Name: bayjour
Barn Name: bay
Age: four
Gender: gelding
Color: chestnut
Breed: morgan, belgian
Height: 16.0 hands
Personality:

bay is the bravest out of the other two horses that arianna has. he is always looking at things, naturally looking at things, playing with things. maybe its because of his young age, but arianna hopes that his bravery and curiosity never fades. bay is a very friendly giant, many people avoid him because he is just about as wide as he is tall. bayjour is also known for his willing attitude towards any task that his master gives him. he is always trying to figure things out, and usually when he is trying figure things out, he can get a bit frustrated because he isn't receiving enough of a reward, or the human on the end of the lead is asking wrong. bay is still real green, but from the ground, he is trained pretty well.

History:

bayjour was born on a simple ranch, with two other suffolk punch's and he was bred for pulling the farming equipment. but because of an injury to his knee at the age of three months, he was sold to an older couple who got him back up to sound and so he could have a bit of a better life than always towing large equipment around.

staying with these people until four, they had to sell him due to financial issues. arianna purchased bayjour out of pure love. she fell in love with his build and of course his temperment. she started him on ground training, which he is still learning new things, and he is also new to riding, though he is still doing so well on the back. arianna also plans on doing some basic jumping and some halter classes with this flashy, rare bred boy.
