Well isn't this girl a stunner? To win her tell me about one of her secrets [Minimum of 5 sentences].

Show Name: Under My Skin
Barn Name: Sadie
Gender: Mare
Color: Fading Black Tobiano
Breed: American Paint Horse [50%] Mustang [50%]
Height: 15.2 hands
Secret: Sadie has a secret background. As a foal, she was especially small and frail. As the daughter of two elite reining horses, however, great things were expected of this little mare. But, she grew especially slowly through her first and second years; in fact, by the time she was two, she was only 13.3 hands. She shot up between her second and third year, reaching 15 hands, although she seemed to have trouble keeping her balance and her legs were often swollen. This was dismissed as her simply adjusting to her growth, but it was obvious that something else was going on by the time she was getting ridden. Frighteningly, this horse would fall over while being ridden, injuring and scaring many riders. Her legs were even more swollen, and people around the barn noticed that even though she was eating plenty, she seemed to be loosing weight. Her owners decided to call the vet.

Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy. That was the vet's diagnosis. More commonly known as EPSM, it's a disease that affects the muscular and skeletal systems in many breeds, among which are paint horses. She fit all off the systems and tested positive for it when they took blood. The vet suggested a certain feed and exercise routines for Sadie, although even when she reached peak condition, she would never be able to rein. The most this pretty horse would be able to do was walk and trot lightly for just thirty minutes a day. This sent her owners into an outrage. They paid a high price for the breeding of this foal, and now it wouldn't produce anything back for them. They brought her to an auctioneer that passed her off to a meat trailer for just $200, but one of Cottonwood's officials bought her just before they left, saving this horse.

Sadie doesn't like to tell anyone about her condition, so most horses just think that she's used as a leisurely trail horse. And although her legs do swell from time to time and she's much skinnier than other horses, she acts like she's okay for both her own sake and the sake of those who care for her.

Show Name: Compromised Intelligence
Barn Name: Breach
Gender: Mare
Color: Fading Black Tobiano
Breed: American Paint Horse [50%] Mustang [50%]
Height: 15.0 hh
Secret: The horses at Manteca Creek are all very quirky. Perhaps the most being the two stallions Disco and Cash. Those two act like very good friends, but Breach has seen that they're beginning to phase the 'B' out of their 'Bromance'. No one besides their friends really know about it. Nonetheless, Irene can see right through the charade.

Disco x Cash for life.

Show Name: Breaking the Laws
Barn Name: Wanted
Gender: Mare
Color: Fading Black Tobiano
Breed: American Paint Horse [50%] Mustang [50%]
Height: 15.2hh
Secret: Wanted used to be an awfully bad mare. She was born in the wild and learned to always choose yourself first. When she was caught as a two year old, Wanted was an absolute devil. She kicked, bit, charged, slammed and shoved people and other horses. People tried as hard as they could to train her but it just didn't work. One day they decided to use her as a broncho, after all she was good at bucking! They put her in the shoot and put a veteran bronc rider on her back, the second that gate opened she was off like a bullet. Somehow the man stayed on, this further infuriated Wanted and the second her rolled of her back she saw her chance. Wanted ran straight at him and hit him with all her weight. Then she kicked him, she galloped off and looked behind her, the other people were flipping out and the man was still. She had killed him, Wanted felt no remorse at the time, it was what she had always been taught in the wild. The people were horrified and immediately sent the mare to auction before someone else could be harmed.

At the meat market Wanted was saved by a womyn who came to save some of the horses. The thing was Wanted had changed, the day she left that arena she saw a young womyn bowed over the man she had killed, tears streamed down her face and she looked completely distraught. Wanted had felt something come over her, it was remorse and she had never felt it before. That day Wanted decided the change, there must be good people somewhere in this world, the day Nyra saved her this was proven. Wanted tried her best to be good during training and slowly she accepted the humans a little more. One of Nyra's stable hands who had gone through and equally hard life, recently getting out of prison even. She and Wanted formed a very strong bond and Wanted will only be ridden by her. She doesn't like to tell other horses about what she did as she is afraid she will be shunned.

Barn Name: Lies

Show Name: American Beauty
Barn Name: Merrie
Gender: Mare
Color: Fading Black Tobiano
Breed: American Paint Horse [50%] Mustang [50%]
Height: 14'2
Secret: Well, lets just say that Merrie is a little vain. She is always looking into the water trough, admiring herself, and all her glory. Sometimes she becomes so intent on herself, that well, a little of the 'real' her slips away. She is always thinking about primping her mane, or grooming out all of those annoying dirt patches that somehow cover her body. She isn't around many horses, and maybe that's why its a secret.

Show Name: Slayer of Shadows (if you have read the Inheritance series, you will get it)
Barn Name: Arya
Gender: Mare
Color: Fading Black Tobiano
Breed: American Paint Horse [50%] Mustang [50%]
Height: 15hh
Secret: Arya's main personality trait is her leadership. She is the lead mare in the herd, and no one dares to challenge her for the position. She hates it, though. She can never be a normal mare, always has to keep her cool and be bigger than everybody else, and she just wants it to stop. Even if she gives up her position, Arya will never be treated like a regular horse, even if she abandons the herd. Her fame is widespread. Just one small fight, and of course she had to prove herself and dominate the previous lead mare. It ruined her life.

Show Name: Moonlight in the Darkest of Nights
Barn Name: Light
Gender: Mare
Color: Fading Black Tobiano
Breed: American Paint Horse [50%] Mustang [50%]
Height: 16 hands
Secret: She was involved in an accident where her previous owner was seriously injured. A teen aged boy notorious for 'barn' parties where they terrorized every animal, from the chickens to the cows. It was getting late and he had been drinking to much, he was dared to ride her bare-back down the backpath. It was muddy from the rain of the previous day, and she slipped, falling and breaking one of his legs and two ribs. It was deemed her fault and she was whipped and sold off at a cheap price, deemed 'dangeorus' and 'unsafe'. CottonWood bought her, nursed her out of her shell, and renamed her.
