Gender: Mare

Story: Phoenix's story is quite peculiar. She was found on Saltaire's property during a trail ride, and would have gone unnoticed if not for the keen eye of the stable hands. It happened like this; Ava, who was riding with her barn buddy Mila (pronounced Meela) at the time, spotted something through the trees in the meadow nearby. At first she though it was a cow, but after observing the way it moved with a grace that no cow has, she was surprised to discover it was a horse. After conversing with her friend, Mila, Ava decided to approach the horse. As Ava crept closer, the horse's head shot up, and instead of running away, it leaned forward and sniffed Ava's hand. The horse, seemingly uninterested, resumed to rip out clods of grass from the ground, shaking the dirt from the roots. Ava had Mila travel back to the lodge and bring back a halter and a lead rope. The horse was unwilling to follow them at first, but was soon bribed with treats.
Once Mila and Ava arrived back at the stables and made sure the horse had been taken care of, they started looking for the horse's past owner. Three days later, they discovered that the mare had wandered off from a small herd. Unfortunately, the riders at the stable had grown quite fond of the mare over the past few days, sometimes even sneaking her a treat. After negotiating with the owners of the mare (who were going to auction her off anyways), they ended up adopting her for free, with the exception of training the rest of her former herd simple groundwork. After finishing their end of the deal, Ava, Mila, and the other regular riders decided on a name. Her barn name would be Pheonix, after her stunning orange and white coat, and her show name 'Not all who wander are lost' because of her previous circumstances. Today, she lives happily with the other mares and stallions of Saltaire Farm.
