Hy there, I'm SkyBug. I mostly go by Skye though; however, feel free to call me whatever you please.

I have decided upon Floating on Air, for his show name. I have no reason other than it fits well with his barn name, which is what I usually decide on first.

His name is Eagle. Which in Norwegian is Arla. I chose this name because he is as majestic, bold, and brave as any eagle.

Born on a farm to fjord parents, Eagle is about 3 and a half years old.

This boy is male and intact, so he is a stallion.

His breed is a fjord, one of the world's oldest breeds; it has been used for hundreds of years as a farm horse in Norway. Not only known as the oldest, but has many times been called the purest breed as well. The Fjord horse also has a long recorded history of pure breeding without crossbreeding from other sources.

His color is a brilliant brunblakk, which is also recognized as brown dun. Dun is the only coat color of a fjord horse, though there are 5 variants of dun; dun meaning tan, gold or related shade with darker (usually black or dark brown) points and primitive markings. About 90% of all fjord horses are brunblakk, which by far makes it the most common coat color.

Though fjords are known as a shorter breed of horse, Eagle seems to not have followed the average height limits. Not off by much Eagle stands at 14.7 hands tall, where are most fjords are recorded between 13.1 and 14.3 hands. Alike others of his breed his is very broad and muscular, with a strong and arched neck. His mane is cut like most fjords, short, as it is easier to keep his thick hair neat and tidy; however, in the winter his mane is allowed to grow out to it's full potential. Both his mane and tail are black and white colored.

Yes, Eagle is a domesticated stallion. Though not really by choice, he is still wild at heart and loves to run in the large pastures because they allow him to run free. Since he was born on a farm everyone just assumes it's his wild instincts.

With no need to be a working farm horse, Eagle has lots of spare time to train for show jumping. He was a difficult horse to train, though now he loves to be out on the course with his owner, Amber. She is a sweet country girl from Tennessee who is the only one allowed to ride Eagle. Together they've only won one competition though they've only entered a handful, but will continue their training to bring home even more of those beautiful blue ribbons.

The fjord breed is widely known for their gentle and calming nature, again Eagle must be stubborn and lie outside the averages of his breed. This stallion is very wild at heart and even though he has never felt the way a wild horse does, he still wishes the fence was not an obstacle. Of course he could just jump over it, but that would mean leaving Amber behind and he is not ready for that. Instead Eagle just runs around his large pasture most of the day as he flirts with every mare he passes. Though never bred, this guy is a player. He never hangs around one mare too long before finding another passing by. Another of his less pleasureable traits is his hatred for humans, well expect for his owner. For whatever be his reason, Eagle does not like or trust any humans. No one understands this in him as he came from a very loving home with owners who loved and adored him from the day he was born until it was time for him to be weaned and sold. Just one of those things that will remain a mystery.
