What are Khimaira Friesians?
Khimaira Friesians are a "normal" friesian breed with all characteristics of a friesian and a average height from 15 to 17 hands, but even 18 hands can occur. The first born Khimaira was mistaked for a chimera horse. But a genetic test showed otherwise, there wasn't a second DNA but a complete new and unknown gen. Because this gen makes the friesian look like a chimera it was named khimaira. khimaira doesn't produce a complete new dna coat and therefor it can only lighten or darken the base coat of the horse. Till now only the paint khimaira is known that makes the khimaira coloration looks like tobiano, overo, sabino or splash. But we believe that there will be more khimaira variations out there and we still try to breed them. Appaloosas are not known till now, but we have some great friesian mixed horses with appaloosa patterns, so we are sure to deliver them to you in a short amount of time.
Jealousy is a horrible thing, an emotion that can cause any creature to do something that should not even been thought of. It was jealousy that made me blind, jealously that took away my precious sight as well as the title I had been working towards. I lost my home, my family, everything I knew was washed away... all because of jealousy.
I was working my way up, staring from the bottom and training to be a champion. Dressage was my first discipline, though my human did not stop there, I had just started basic horse driving before my sight was taken from me. Competition was jealous of my beauty, and as I got better in my discipline, they became jealous of my skill. Owners hated my owners, stallion fought over my attention, and mares always watched me with malice. At times I wished I could vanish from reality, but I had to do best for my owner, my rider and friend, my family. I would not let them down all because of some jealous competition. I worked long and hard, I was halfway to the title we had been working towards when it happened, the jealousy green bug finally overcame the common sense of our competition.
I was in one of the small pastures, three other horses shared the small field with me. Two geldings and a mare, one gelding was much older and retired now, the other was around the same age and skill as myself, the mare was a few years older with more show experience then us youngsters. I did not mind the group, actually, along with my human I saw them as family. We noticed the woman by the water trough, but we assumed she was a guest to the ranch as she seemed to watch us for a while, smiling. I did not realize it was a smile of evil glee as she prepared her plan. I grazed without worry, ignoring the stranger who eventually left. The sun rose higher in the sky and the heat made me crave the cool, refreshing water provided for us. I walked over, the young gelding on my heals and I went to drink. The gelding of my age was quite the playful thing, spending too much time poke and prodding at us, almost like a little brother would annoy his older sibling. He had an evil glint in his eye, making me stop and give him a look from the corner of my eye. The water flew through the air and hit me in the face. I knew something was wrong, I knew something was off. I had never felt anything like it, as my eyes burned like fire. I screamed in pain, rearing upwards, startling the gelding who looked horrified, wondering for a moment if I was just getting back at him for the jokes, but he soon realized it was not. I could not stop shaking my head, trying to get rid of the pain. I blinked over and over, but it did not clear my blurred vision or stop the pain. Our human heard the racket, running from the house they leaped over the fence and ran towards me, lead shank in hand. "Easy girl! What's wrong?!" I could not slow my breathing, my ears pinned back and my head moving constantly. "Call the vet!" I heard her yell across the yard, but I paid no attention. The pain, the darkness, I was terrified. What was happening? Why did the water burn me like this?
I was removed from the field, brought into the stall where the vet looked me over. "There are chemicals in her eye." the vest sounded surprised, and I could hear the surprise and anger of my owner as she replied. "Chemical? How did she get chemicals in her eyes? She is in the pasture!" I wanted to tell her it was the water, I wanted to let her know the whole story, but she would never understand me. I heard footsteps and chattering as the vet continued his work. I was sedated at this time, though not enough to knock me out, only enough to keep me calm enough so he could rinse out my eyes. I tried to hear my human's words before she returned, but I could not focus and the stable hands left before I could understand anything of what was going on. The water trough had been filled with chemicals, it was an attempt to poison us, but the water being splashed at me saved us from drinking the toxic liquid. The vet had taken too long though, my vision could not be saved. I was not completely blind, I could still see light and some colors, but it was all blurred together in a mess of fuzzy blobs. I knew it was that girl from before, the one who watched us from the fence closest to the trough. She was not a friendly stranger coming to see our human, she was a jealous competitor who wanted us out of the show ring. She succeeded with me, but the young gelding would continue his showing career. I was placed in a stall that night, my owner not wanting to risk me harming myself in the field, and once I was settled in, she left for a while.
She entered my stall later that night, her voice holding a hint of sadness when she spoke. "She hated us, me for owning you, and you because of how beautiful and talented you are." she spoke, and I knew they had caught the culprit, they caught the woman from before. "I'll never forgive them for this. I will never forgive them for hurting you." I felt her gentle touch on my neck, and I sighed, listening quietly and patiently as she cried. That was not the only reason she was crying though. She knew I could not show again, not after that incident. I was frightened by the competition, by strangers who came anywhere near me for the first time without my own. She sold me, even though she loved me, even though she was my family, she sold me. I did not realize it until I felt the ramp of a trailer beneath my hooves and then the door closed behind me. "Goodbye girl." I heard the pain in her voice, and I tried to pull free of the lead shank keeping me there, but it was no use. The trailer started to move, and I could hear her crying fade away. I cried out, I tried to call to my herd, to my human, but it was too late.
Jealousy stole everything from me. First my sight, then my home, then my family. All of it was gone and I was being taken far away. It was a long trip in that trailer, with no clue what my new human was like. I did not know where I was being taken. I only knew that it would never be the same. I felt the trailer slow, and soon it was completely stopped. I tried to listen, tried to guess my surroundings by the sounds I heard outside, but I could not tell. The trailer door opened, and the lead shank untied. I was led out of the trailer and I felt the asphalt change to grass. "It's okay girl, you'll be okay." I heard the gentle words of a woman, as she guided me slowly into a pen and removed the rope from the halter. "Welcome to your new home." I felt her hands on my neck as she rubbed my neck. I knew I had a good human to watch over me, a human that would care for me whether I could see or not. I relaxed as she left and closed the gate behind her, and I slowly explored the pen, finding my way around.
I went from being a burning flame in the show ring, glowing bright and only getting stronger, to being an ember fading away. People forgot about me, my skills and achievements. My flame died away and I was a fizzling ember of the former show horse I used to be. I was saddened by it, my tears of sorrow dimming my flame further, but I would not die out completely. I still glowed, I was still capable of things, I just could not show like I used to. I would have to work my way up again, find another way to reach a title, and I would, in time. I would became a raging fire again, but for now I was content as a glowing ember.
