PersonalityEnergetic || Stubborn || Pretentious || Ladylike || "Queen Ultima"Ultima is a lass full of energy. She is hard to handle and the ultimate challenge for a rider. She has shown this behavior ever since she was weaned from her mother. If something isn't working out she starts to do it in a different way, but everything has to be like she wants to have it. It is hard to acquire her respect and if you get it you still have to work, because you will lose that respect otherwise. Ultima wants to be everything and even more, she is unhappy when she is playing the second fiddle. That's when Raphael came in. It is that sweet little guys work and admiration for Ultima that we are even able to work with her. He keeps her company and gives her a good mood. Seperating the two of them wouldn't only result in a heartbreaking situation, but also make Ultima unmanageable.
====================
HistoryOnce upon a time, a filly was born. Almost Blood Bay in color, with a white ring around one of her eyes. One eye? Only later the blood :History mark should develop, leaving a beautiful reddish color on her otherwise fleabitten grey coat. But back to the night when she was born. Her mother, an experienced mare called Snow White, had an easy start with her. Her foalhood wasn't exactly spectacular, she grew up with her caring mother and some other foals to play with. But she showed her stubborn side from the beginning. When she was weaned from her mother, Ultima freaked out. That's when she was first called Ultima, ultimate, a little princess that wanted to rule her own world.
Snow White was used to the hole thing and let go of her daughter easily. That seemed to make princess Ultima even more upset. She started to kick around and was a pain to train. One day a little goat came to the pasture where Ultima was grazing. Ultima easily befriended little Raphael and her trainer noticed how much he calmed her down. Actually he could mount her for the first time without being bitten by her.
After several months, she was sold then without Raphael, but due to her attitude, she eventually came to Cottonwood. Stablehands and trainers at Cottonwood noticed how unhappy Princess Ultima was, and were hardly able to work with her. They contacted her breeder and were able to buy Raphael for Ultima. Reunited, Ultima got calmer once again and turned out to be quite easy to work with when the right strings were pulled. Now she's looking for her forever home, possibly having some more surprises for her new owner?
