Username: Lichenfeather
Show Name: Point Blank Shot
Barn Name: Yvette
Gender: Mare
Breed: Morgan
Height: 14.3 hands
Age: 5 years
Color: Silver Black Roan Reverse Dapple Splash
Markings: Badger face, splash markings, reverse dappling
Genes: E/E, a/a, Z/z, Rn/rn, Spw/spw
Personality: || Frightened || Lonesome || Quiet || Empathetic || An 'old' soul ||
Yvette was rescued from an abusive home almost a year ago, and when she came to us she was terrified of everything, including the grass. She'd been locked in a small, dark stall for most of her four years, and had a complete lack of experience with anything outside of this. After a year with us, this lovely mare has quieted down. She is still extremely fearful of sharp movements, loud sounds, and small spaces, but she has grown accustomed to grass, people, dogs and other horses. Despite this, Yvette is still a very lonesome mare, rarely seeking out company of Chance and Illusion, the mares she is pastured with, preferring to stick under a great old oak, where she can graze without fear. Not a vocal mare, Yvette comes and goes without making any sound, and it is not unusual to turn around and see her standing there, her blue eyes curiously watching you. Extremely empathetic, she always knows when someone is down, and does her best to comfort them in her particular, quiet manner. Finally, this pretty little mare is what some would consider an 'old soul'. She's laid back, and, as we've discovered, despite her abuse she seems very knowing about the world.

Describe an ideal riding location with her: This lovely little lady prefers quiet places, so anywhere too loud is definitely out of the question. This leaves us with the quiet trails around our land. We own quite the expanse, and like to keep our horses active. Because she's so easily spooked by things that would keep other horses unfazed, we don't take her very far from home. The trails are gently sloping, through forest and skirt around the edges of a mountain range. Here Yvette feels close enough to home to not panic, but she still gets her exercise she needs to stay healthy.

End Date: 26th of September.

Show Name: December's Gem
Barn Name: Turquoise (HAD to:)
Gender: Mare
Breed: Morgan
Height: 14.3 hands
Age: 6yrs
Color: Silver Black Roan Reverse Dapple Splash
Markings: Badger face, splash markings, reverse dappling
Genes: E/E, a/a, Z/z, Rn/rn, Spw/spw
Personality: As her zodiac sign, capricorn, predicts. Turquoise is a strong willed, determined and responsible mare. Once she sets her mind to something she keeps going until she achieves her goal. If Turquoise really doesn't want to do something for her rider....well she will not be doing it. Turquoise becomes the lead mare in whatever group she is put into, her calm and yet fiery personality gets her there quickly. Turquoise is very cautious so she gets into trouble less often than other horses. This over cautious attitude sometimes is a problem because Turquoise is afraid of taking even small risks. She likes a challenge and gets annoyed when things are too easy. This mare is also strong of heart and will stand up for those who deserve it.

Describe an ideal riding location with her: Turquoise likes to be ridden in the water or snow/ice. She hates being ridden on flat, open land or in the arena. It is so challenging and BORING, her rider knows when Turquoise is really bored/annoyed because she simply dumps her rider. Turquoise's rider has gotten so used to the mare suddenly throwing her that she just lands on her feet now. It is obvious that Turquoise likes snow or water rides because there is no fuss. The water poses a good challenge, as does snow, so Turquoise is fully engaged in conquering the obstacle by not giving up. Sometimes the stable will do a winter trail ride, usually a few horses turn back because they are tired of trudging through snow. The others are tired and grumpy, not Turquoise, she is trotting on through the snow with her head high and eyes bright. Swimming is great because it gets tiresome quickly and the exhaustion and burning muscles must be fought through. This is exactly what Turquoise wants and needs on a ride. The best place to ride Turquoise is usually on a trail during winter or on the beach and into the water.

Markings: Badger face, splash markings, reverse dappling
Genes: E/E, a/a, Z/z, Rn/rn, Spw/spw
Personality: Spiderweb is a sweet and energetic mare. Spiderweb can be playful and she can be calm. When Spiderweb wants to learn something new or to go on a ride or outside of her stall, she becomes determined and persuasive. Spiderweb is an outgoing mare who can be a little loud at times. But Spiderweb is claustraphobic and doesn't like to be in her stall so we keep in the large pasture or in the corral.

Barn Name: Nymeria
Gender: Mare
Breed: Morgan
Height: 14.3 hands
Age: 5
Color: Silver Black Roan Reverse Dapple Splash
Markings: Badger face, splash markings, reverse dappling
Genes: E/E, a/a, Z/z, Rn/rn, Spw/spw
Personality: Nymeria is a very charming mare. She loves to show off but doesn't do it so often that she becomes annoying or vain. She's very loyal and would stay by your side until the end of time if that's what it would take to make you happy. She has always been a natural born leader and it just comes easy to her, but she never abuses her power. Above all Nymeria LOVES to play. When she isn't acting like the adult she's supposed to be she's always playing with someone or her favorite toy. She's just so carefree and everyone loves to be around her and her playful antics.

Describe an ideal riding location with her: Yellowstone National Park is the best place to ride her as it offers all her favorite things like water, grassy valleys and lush forests. She doesn't like to ride in the open sun for too long so she's taken to liking forest trails the best. It's such a wonderful opportunity too as I get to photograph the forest life and she gets to stretch her legs and experience nature. When we happen upon streams or rivers I usually untack her and let her play in the water for a while as a reward. We usually go for a week and camp out in the park and I think she loves the experience, and I just think the fresh air and exposure to nature is so beneficial to her.

personality:
turquoise Photo: xdescribe an ideal riding location with her: This mare really loves any riding location as long as she's out of the pasture and exploring, but her favorite place to go riding is the mountain summit where the owners of Manteca Creek take the boarders out camping. She lives for the crisp mountain air rushing through her mane, and she loves bolting across the rolling green fields outside of the pine canopies. She has no fears, and when it comes to swimming across the rivers to get to new parts of the trail she's always the first to dive right in. Back at camp she never strays too far, preferring to stay near the campfire at night, or rest lazily in the grass warmed by the sunlight in the early evening. The one part of the trip that seems to be her favorite however, is hearing the birds that call the mountain home. A screeching hawk captures her attention during the day, and she always perks her ears to the hooing of an owl at dusk, but he one that mesmerizes her the most are the Blue Jays, where she gets her name. Though they don't always make the prettiest of noises, whenever she hears one she is stopped in her tracks.

Age: 7 years old
Color: Silver Black Roan Reverse Dapple Splash
Markings: Badger face, splash markings, reverse dappling
Genes: E/E, a/a, Z/z, Rn/rn, Spw/spw
Personality: This horse is a quiet girl. Die to the fact that her past owner was abusive. Everytime she would neigh, nicker, or even play, a whip would be given straight at her. KC is now a playful horse. Though, she watches were she is playing at and who she is playing with. Her past may be in the past, but what is in the future is unkown to her. KC is excellant with small children. She loves them and loves to play with them. KC is one heck of a horse!

Describe an ideal riding location with her: The perfect ideal riding place with her, would be at a simple old wheat feild. She adores the colors and feeling of the wheat on her shoulder. And the smell of fresh wheat tenses up her muscules, making her a stronger horse. Usually, she would frollic in a pasture, or ride the waves in the ocean, but for her, she will only be riden in a wheat feild.

Breed: Morgan
Height: 14.3 hands
Age: 6 years
Color: Silver Black Roan Reverse Dapple Splash
Markings: Badger face, splash markings, reverse dappling
Genes: E/E, a/a, Z/z, Rn/rn, Spw/spw
Personality: Turquoise is a real free spirit. She hates to be held down by anything, be it a rider that is too controlling, other horses, even the fences of her paddock. If she wants to run, you can bet anything that that's what she'll do. She's rather stubborn as well; she won't do anything that she doesn't really want to do, and isn't afraid to make her frustrations known. She's been known to kick, bite, and even lunge if someone tries to make her do something that she doesn't want to do.

Describe an ideal riding location with her: Turquoise absolutely loves to ride on the beach. It's probably the only place she'll ever let anyone ride her bareback and on occasion, bridleless. Whether it be galloping over the soft, thin sand, jumping through the foam of waves, or even swimming in the shallow parts of the water, this mare absolutely loves it more than anything else.

Gender: Mare
Breed: Morgan
Height: 14.3 hands
Age: Ten
Color: Silver Black Roan Reverse Dapple Splash
Markings: Badger face, splash markings, reverse dappling
Genes: E/E, a/a, Z/z, Rn/rn, Spw/spw
Personality: Glim is a gentler mare that often prefers quiet over chaos. She has a sweet disposition, always a nurturing character. She is quite well-trained and calm. She is great for first-time riders and trails. Without a doubt, Glim believes beauty comes from within more than it does from the outside. The mare is humble and shy when it comes to compliments, often surprised and not knowing how to react. Glim does everything she can for the greater good, and has a love for all life.
Turquoise Photo: "Big Blue" - A large chunk of turquoise discovered.
Describe an ideal riding location with her: Glim would most enjoy a ride deep in wildlife. It would need to be serene, quiet, and cool. This place would likely be a deep, thick forest. Sort of a "hidden gem", perhaps?
