One cold New England winter day an imported Buckskin stallion arrived at Phoenix Farms. This stallion was imported from the small country of Ascoria to be trained and entered in the Hunter trails of the United States to gain recognition for the breed. One of the few trainers selected to do this was a fresh out of college Hunter/ show jumper trainer and breeder by the name of Ana O’Donnell. The Ascorian Warmblood breeders and breed association official had their doubts about her but there were also a few that had faith in her, so they decided to send a training-level stallion to test the trainers abilities. The deal was that if the training- level stallion placed in the top three at an international qualifier trail, then Ana could keep him and get the breeding license required to breed Ascorian Warmbloods overseas. When Ana arrived back at the farm it was time to get her new stallion out of the trailer, she got out of her Toyota pick –up truck and made her way towards the trailer. When she got to the trailer, Ana opened the door and called “come here boy, it’s time to get out and see your new home.” The horse hesitated and whined in pain. Ana acted quickly and stepped into the trailer to survey the situation only to discover a stallion with all three shoes thrown only one barley clinking one to the right back hoof. Ana said,” It’s okay boy, I will call the vet and farrier to fix you up.” the she tried to pet and rub his nose to calm him down. Ana got her cellphone out and called the vet and farrier. They arrived and both determined it was best to remove the last shoe and let the stallion rest for at least a month or two before he began training. After the vet and farrier were gone and the new Stallion was settled down, Ana decided to go and check on her newest arrival and name him. When, Ana got to the stall, she open the door and walked in. The stallion got up and walked over to her. She Said, “Hey boy, just wanted to check on you.” The horse lightly whined at her. Ana started petting the muzzle of the Buckskin stallion. When Ana was doing this, she thought to herself “what should I name this horse? After all until now, he has just been known by a studbook number.” Then it came to her, she continued to pet the horse’s muzzle and said “I shall name you spirit and your show name will be Spirited Away.” Spirit whined excitedly at this, he was glad that someone finally named him. Two months later training began on a slightly mild spring day. Ana lead Spirt out of his stall to the tacking area where she just put a bare back therapeutic pad on his back and a bittless bridle on his head. Ana decided it was best to start spirit in the style of naturalistic horsemanship because of his injuries two months prior. This journey was going to be a long one but Ana knew spirit was a willing equine all he needed was the education to become a top placing show hunter.
