Demeter's Horses

[Ω-Admin-Cara-Ω]

.May the Horse be with you.

Show Name: May the Horse be with you
Barn Name: Yoda
Age: 4
Gender: Gelding
Color: Chestnut
Breed: Irish Sport Horse (Irish Hunter)
Breed Registry: WBFSH
Height: 16.1
Personality: Yoda is a friendly and inquisitive horse. He has to be in your face all the time and he has to know everything about everything around him. Which means that if you leave something open, he'll be in it.
History: Demeter rode Yoda's dam in dressage competitions up until she was half way through her through her pregnancy. Demi has been with Yoda since the day he was born, which was a good thing since his dam wanted nothing to do with him. It seemed that in her opinion she was a top show horse and caring for a foal was waay beneath her, so rather then having the colt pushed to the side to die, Demi begged her trainer to let her have the foal.

Yoda was gelded at 6 months of age.

All of Yoda's training, to date, has been done by Demi and she used him as a project for her the animal husbandry part of her vet training.

Discipline: English, Demi's already got him working in novice dressage tests and will hopefully move him up to show jumping, like his dam and sire, when she believes he's old enough.

.Taunting Passion.

i --ii --iii--iv--v--vi

Show Name: Taunting Passion
Barn Name: Tau
Age: 4
Gender: Gelding (still has some stallion tendencies as he was only gelded recently)
Color: Black Tobiano Pinto
Breed: Friesian Sporthorse
Breed Registry: FHANA
Height: 15.3

Personality: Tau is cautious and uncertain. He doesn't trust anyone easily and would much rather keep to himself than allow himself to trust humans, not anymore.

History: Tau's life started perfectly; he was born at a sporthorse stud farm, his dam a maiden mare with perfect Arabian bloodlines. His sire, a handsome Friesian stallion with beautiful shape and form. With the foal, the breeders got just what they wanted, a mixture of his parents' perfect temperaments and his dam stunning colouring.

Training started from day one for young Tau, and even though it started early, everything was done carefully and with enough time so that the colt was able to take each thing in before something new was introduced.

He was sold off before he was trained under the saddle, and that's when everything went wrong. The young colt was purchased by a man who ran a busy competition yard, and all of the horses were treated like machines. They were tacked up, ridden, untacked, and put back into their stalls. There was no time for taking things slowly, the horses there either adjusted to how things worked or the crumpled under the pressure.

Tau didn't do either. Instead, he fought back. This didn't work out well for either horse or humans and finally Tau's spirit was broken and he finally gave in. But what was the use of a horse with a broken spirit. He was then sent to one auction after another. In the slaughter pen was where Demeter found him, along with a handful of other horses and ponies that she knew she could help.

Discipline: Eventing
