History: Des used to be a top notch English competition horse. She was born in an elite barn, sold to a top trainer soon after she was weaned, and thrown into her first official competition at 2 years and 4 months. She got 1st place on on her third competition, having got fifth on her first and third on her second. She was a star in the English competition family, until one certain day when she was 16 years old. She was going through a cross country competition, one of the hardest in her careers. Her career was much longer than expected, and she still managed to get firsts. It was a difficult course, one that went through deep woods. She was about to clear a jump and was gathering herself, when out of the shadows, a deer shot forward in front of the mare. In surprise, she side stepped and ended up tripping, falling over as her legs tangled together. She was rushed to the vet, where it was confirmed that she had shattered her knee. She was pulled out of her competition life, and is now a pasture mare seeing that she cannot be ridden anymore. She would have been put down, if it hadn't been for the public English competition families complaints.
