I am Coloré. Hopefully the lucky owner of this beautiful girl.
I would call this beautiful girl "Vintage Butterfly" aka "Fly".
Obviously female. She is a beautiful strong mare.
Her age is around five years old.![]()
Fly is an Andalusian horse. Elegant and strong.
Her coloring is dappled grey with hazel eyes.
I made her colours too dark, but I tried to hurry so I would get it in before it finished.
Quiet, strong, elegant, unforgiving, self conscious, snappy, moody,
discouraging, optimistic, obedient, determined and confident
Over all Fly is easily broken but is set on her work and try's to be the best. She doesn't mix with other horses.
Fly was born in a horse sales yard. Her mother was overly protective of her and badly injured her buyer, so her mother was lead out and a minute later a loud bang filled Flys ears. She never saw her mother again and all of the other mares refused to mother her so she was hand fed until she no longer needed milk then she was sold to a large farm of which she now lives. She never trusted any horses because no one took her in when she was young so she dedicated her life to riding.
She fully trusts humans and forms a deep connection with her rider. The bond between her and her rider is unbreakable.
Fly stood as the man ran his hand down her back and then giving her a pat on the neck. It made fly feel fuzzy inside when she was shown affection, but she tried to be serious and try not show how happy she was. "Lets see my Vintage Butterfly Fly!" He said and as he did, excitement bubbled up in side of her.
The stable boy tacked her up and handed her lead rope to her rider. Her rider was a young lady with a kind heart who always greeted her with a sugar cube. Today she shortened the reins before she mounted, but Fly had no idea what ever for. Her rider mounted and Fly shifted her weight. "Easy!" Said her rider. Fly instantly straightened, disappointed with her fault. She got her grip, found the stirrups and pulled Flys head back. Pain shot up he back and hind legs as her rider pushed her forward and out to the dressage yard. Oh, how it hurt her. She knew that her rider had good intentions, trying to change her posture to impress the man. Half an hour later later they finished and rode back into the stable, where Fly was placed in her stall, aching.
The man came and fitted a purple tartan rug that covered nearly her whole body along with room temperature water, fresh hay and three sugar cubes. Fly was eventually led out to a large field to recover from the dressage. She knew that they didn't know how much damage it was causing her. She trotted down to a stream and tried the fresh water, when suddenly she heard a shriek. She jerked her head as she caught sight of a handsome stallion trotting over to her. She greeted him with an unpleasant grunt and a nip and ran of with her ears pricked back.
After a week of being put in the field, she got used to the stallion and started to trust him like she did with the humans. They would play in the field together and she eventually started getting used to other horses, but only really liked the stallion. Soon she was fully recovered and back to dressage. She tried her best to keep her head up, but struggled a lot as her rider falsely taught her to ride loosely. Eventually she found it easier to work with perfect posture and succeeded in doing her best. She became one of the most dedicated horses at the stables.
The Andalusian breed originated in Iberian Peninsula, Spain.
They were used as war horses and for handling stock. They are incredibly athletic and are now used in many disciplines but were originally used for dressage as they were easily trained.
These were my favourites:![]()
