gender: Mare
personality: Wild // Brave // Dominate // Wise
Calma's show name comes from her view on life. Her whole world has been flipped upside down, yet she continues to go on, not changing her personality too much. The past is in the past, and but she keeps on moving. Her barn name came from the Spanish word for calm. Calma isn't always calm though. We think she was a lead mare in her herd when she was in the wild. She seems to have much experience with foals; however, some of our mother mares aren't too much of a fan of her. For the very nurturing mares(and stallions), Calma isn't a favorite. She's defiantly rough and hard on the foals, always putting them in their place when they do the simplest things wrong. It's also not rare to find Calma showing dominance over the other mares as well, such as when eating or leading where to go when some horses aren't brave enough. And she's smart enough to know how to gain that, too. Calma isn't scared of anything, especially fighting for something, mainly dominance. We always hear Calma when she's with the other horses, as she's very vocal, which only help her be more dominate. We've even noticed a difference in our horses with the addiction of a few once wild horses, they seem to have a bit more spirit, and while Calma hasn't ended that, she's defiantly going back to the dominance parts of living in the wild though, such as her always competing for dominance. Now, dominance is more of a fight in the herd as it wasn't so much before. However, Calma isn't all bad. What we call her when she's not behaving is her way of living as she did in the wild. When we got her, we were told she was very calm, and she is, but only by herself. Calma is calm and collected all the time(when she's alone), always ready for what we tell her. Just, some of the time she decides not to listen. However, we don't ride her as often as some of the other horses, since she still needs more training. Especially work on her ground manners. It's for this reason that Calma is found in her stall in one of the smaller paddocks by herself more often than in the large one. Either way, we don't think we will be able to change her completely, but Calma is defiantly a great addition to our herd!
