Background Story::

Unlike most of the tolters at Coldwater Creek, Gi-Gi wasn't purchased, bred here, or even exclusively imported. Gi-Gi was found. One early morning, just like any other morning, the staff goes out and rounds up the mares from the back fields to start the day of exercising and training with the morning feeding. On this particularly cold morning in our farthest pasture, was a mare tied to the back fence. She had to have been tied there sometime between the previous morning round up and this morning. No one knew where she came from or recognized her. She was scruffy and diety and seemed quite annoyed to be tied up for so long. She was quickly untied and brought up to the main barn. She was quarentined immediately to ensure she wasn't sick. She was groomed and bathed and soon she looked like a respectable tolter again. The vet was called and she was looked over and inspected. She was underweight, but that would be easily fixable. Her hooves were slightly overgrown and could use a nice trim and file. Her teeth were also inspected and they seemed to be alright. The vet guess that she was probably right around 9 years old, but wasn't sure. He tested her blood and left. She was kept in quarantine while we awaited the news of her test results. Over the first couple days, we got her hooves trimmed and cleaned up and we started to pick up on her personality. We quickly learned to keep things securely locked and out of her reach. She was dubed Gi-Gi by the staff. They found out she was nosy and curious and just an all-round pain. Though everyone began to love her, and when she got a clean bill of health she was quickly swept up into the main routine. We also learned that she was fiercely compeditive. She was quickly given a show name and started in entry level competitions. She excelled faster than we had thought she would and was soon one of the best compeditors on the ranch.
