Sometimes my heart is on the ground
And hope is nowhere to be found
Love is a figment I once knew
And yet I hold on to what I know is true~ Shawn MacDonald - Rise
Barn Name: Snickerdoodle
Nick-Name(s): Snicker, Sickers, Snick, Doodle, Sugar
Gender: Mare
Breed: Rocky Mountain Horse
Height: 15.2 hh
Color: Dark Palomino
Markings: Left front, coronet; right front, coronet
Discipline: Western Pleasure - she preforms in barrel racing, herding, roping and impressive "hands-off" tricks. That's what I hope to be doing with her anyway ;3
History: Snickers' history is completely unknown; we can only speculate based on how she acts and where we found her...We're guessing she had a round foalhood, with little to no human affection, which kinda explains her love for people and her need to be close to us. We found her as a yearling at an auction; her owner had signed her in then left, leaving his or her involvement anonymous. She was under-nourished and only being bid on by sketchy characters. When I saw her, I saw potential, not another "money-making-nag"; I easily out-bid the other "interested" parties and brought her home. It only took about a week to make her the sunning beauty you see before you now, and even less time to gain her trust.
Personality: Snickers is a sweet young mare, with the gentlest disposition you'll ever find. She loves working, and gets board when she's stuck in her corral all day but she'd never be destructive. She loves people and would be perfectly content to be in the middle of fair where everyone could pat her and she could give little kids rides. Snickers is the almost the perfect horse, with her gentleness and a gait as smooth as melted caramel, but nothing's perfect. Snickers has one fault - she gets easily depressed. I know it sounds odd, but I'm not kidding; if you fail to make her feel loved and needed, she starts sulking. She'll mope around and act like she can't see, hear or smell, and could care less if the world blew up. When she gets this way, you have be extra loving and sweet with her to get her to snap out of it and be her peppy self again. Lately, it's taken a bit more before she withdrawals like this.
Theme song: Rise - Shawn MacDonald Yes I will rise
Out of these ashes, rise
From this trouble I have found
And this rubble on the ground
I will rise~ Shawn MacDonald - Rise
Stable-mates: Rose's Golden Glory and
Dark of the Moon Relationships: Allons-y - Snickers loves being around young Allons-y and watching out for her. Snickers has kind of adopted the little filly, who's not quite so little anymore, the two are almost inseparable.
Jazz - Snickers and Jazz get along pretty well, but Jazz is often too spunky and rebellious; Snickers would rather be with people. She doesn't mind going on trail rides or preforming with him, but she doesn't really like being with him all day.
Plans: I will love her, and squeeze her and rub her fur the wrong way xD
Seriously though, I
will love her. Forever. I mean, just look at her!! That coat, that mane, those eyes... *faints* <33
Sorry, I'm easily distracted by displays of pure beauty. Ok, plans - art, lots of art! And love, and growing together. And...Maybe a foal or two... <3
Art: I only had time for a quick sketch of this cutie, but I promise to do more if I'm lucky enough to take her home.
