• Knabstrupper • Mare • 5 years old • All Rounder/Eventer • ~*On the Surface*~Whiskey, Kiki { Key-key }, or Lilly - loved child has many names - is a Knabstrupper with a soft spotted appearance with a nice body exterior. She is not to be confused with being of the breed close to Appaloosa, she is a proud import from the Knabstrupper's origin country Denmark.
She is a fully balanced mare with a nice and almost sweet looking exterior, but isn't the tallest with her 158 centimetres, but she is a fighter.
Her eyes are of a nice hazelnut brown, and her muzzle is nicely freckled with grey and pink spots. She is quite exotic looking from the rest more preferred showing breeds like Hanoverian, Trakhener and Thoroughbreds. So she is a stereotype killer.
~*Digging Deeper*~Whiskey is a sweet youngster mare, who loves to please and work.
With her 5 years, she has seen some things here and there, and is a mare that isn't of a shallow and mean type, but more of the nice and kind. But like everyone else she has her limits, and if she gets frustrated, confused or can't manage to do something properly, she will start with her hissy fitts by throwing her head up and down, do small bucks that can be compared to a rocking horse's - that may or may not escalate to a real buck - and she will start snorting and fighting her rider. But never in a way where the rider will fall of due to her on purpose having them fall off. She is just trying to fight off some frustration.
But of course if a sort of inexperienced rider starts to ride her, and they don't know her or have any experience riding a young horse, they will come across many difficulties. She is a baby still, and there are many things she still hasn't seen or that she isn't used to and used to do/accept. And if the rider falls of due to a spook she will spook even worse. But will quickly calm down again if she is in an arena - after some running around and having fun, and trying sniffing what spooked her - and if it was while hacking she will head home back to the stables.
~*Competition Carrier*~For now Whiskey is still in training and doing all sorts of disciplines from dressage, show jumping, cross country to normal showing in hand and ridden disciplines. She seems content and happy with everything, from the focus needed from both parts during the dressage, and the speed she can use and all the excitement and adrenaline during show jumping and cross country. And then getting to breath a bit during normal showing lessons, and of course get to show off in the ring in front of other horses and people.
Just having her do one discipline wouldn't seem to fit her as she would more easily get bored by the ''same old'' over and over again. So due to her young soul she needs variety, and that's why she is being trained as an eventer of sorts or an all rounder.
~*Companion/Pasture Friend*~Ever since Whiskey was imported from Denmark she had one friend she managed to scoot a long with her, and that is Freyja the sheep. They are impossible to separate and Whiskey can't seem to cope without her little companion friend. So if she's to a show, in her pasture, stables or sometimes even on a trail ride Freyja is always there. Always ready to be Lilly's partner in crime with their shenanigans.
