Name: Bold Bargain (barn name "Brownie")
Breed: Holstein
Gender: Stallion
Color: Bay
Height: 17hh
Prompt: Brownie's first show was a novice dressage show; he was bred to be a perfect holsteiner, but his owner always preferred dressage over jumping, so he never got to jump much, in opposition to most other holsteiners.
He was so stressed out the day of his first show that he didn't touch his ration that day, no matter how much the stable hands tried to make him show interest in his food. When his turn came, the jury wasn't convinced, as he was very tense. However, Brownie relaxed after he understood there was nothing to worry about, and he even started having fun following what he was told to do, impressed the jury and ended up in 2nd place (which surprised him a lot!) Since then, he's been competing often, and his stall is fully decorated with the many rosettes he won.
