Name; Witch's Cauldron /// Hansel

Gender; Stallion

Personality; Hansel is a sweet considerate stallion. He loves to go out of his way to help others. He has a rather sweet tooth that reflects his sweet personality. He is gentle, caring, and protective of those he loves and cares for as well as perfect strangers. He adores children and enjoys giving them rides. He loves how they can be gentle and shy around him. Sometimes though he wants to be alone because some things can be too much for him and he needs some quiet time.He enjoys making others happy and will sometimes hide his own emotions afraid that if others see how he really feels that they won't be happy. Sometimes he pushes back his own joy to make others happy so he can get depressed at times but believes making others happy will make him happy.

Story [Option B]; When Hansel first arrived at Bear Run, he wasn't sure about how he would fit in. Though it didn't take long to realize that they were in the middle of their Christmas party celebrations. He asked what he could do to help and one told him that they needed some to make the cookies and desserts. Having quite a sweet tooth, Hansel agreed to make the desserts. He then went about asking all the others what they liked for desserts. He smiled as he learned everyone's' favorite treats. Once he got home he thought about what he could do to make the desserts reflect on their likes as well as himself. Soon he had an idea of making them the Norwegian way. Soon he had a hazelnut cake, a batch of pecan cookies, a batch of banana cookies, and some apple truffles in the oven. However, his favorite was his gingerbread men, girls, horse, and houses. He was getting so into it that he didn't even realize that he himself was turning into a gingerbread horse. Once the baking was all done, he delivered all the goodies and then went about helping the others prepare for the party. Once the party started it seemed everyone saw that Hansel became what he loved so much. They all loved the different kinds of desserts he had brought. They were all their favorites but with a special new and flavorful twist. The gingerbread, however, was a big hit. Everyone loved it and they loved how Hansel became what he loved.

Name: Gumdrop Buttons // Gingy
Gender Stallion

We learnt of Gingy through a mutual friend who went to Norway to pick up a stallion of her own, she told us of this fluffy little pony that looked as if he were a gingerbread man, with the gear they had on him. She showed us some adorable pictures, with small children gathered around him and him pulling a sleigh and new it was love. So we got in touch with the stables and started making arrangements to bring Gingy to his new home. Now his name wasn't originally Gingy, but Pepperkake, which we later learned meant gingerbread in Norwegian. Now of course we here at Ironwood are all fans of Shrek, so with him looking like a gingerbread man we only had one idea in what to call him and of course that was Gingy. So we told the stables in Norway and they kindly started using the name he would have when he got here, so that he would know it as his own.
The process to get him into Canada was a long and trying one, there were many shots that he had yet to receive due to his young age and some that don't even get administered to horses in Norway because those diseases can not survive in the climate there. This lead to many veterinarian visits for him and early mornings/late nights for us because of the vast time difference, but we had to ensure there would be no reason to keep our little Gingy from us when he finally made the trip to Canada.
With all of his records finally checked and double checked by his Norwegian family, our own, and our contact at the CFIA, we booked his plane ticket to come to his new forever home here at Ironwood stables. We had exactly a month to finish preparing his stall and his quarantine paddock, which was was just a paddock for only him so he could be acclimated to his surroundings before we introduced him to a large herd. The first two weeks flew by as we put the finishing touches on the barn and his stall fixing up the door as the previous tenant had decided to kick it off the rail. Making sure the automatic water pump was working, and adding the finishing touch of his name plate on the top of the stall. We added the final coat of polish to his etch gold name plate and loaded into the the truck, heading to the airport in Calgary, to meet our little Gingy.
We didn't bring the trailer because we knew they would be holding him in quarantine for at least a few days so Canadian vets could verify his shots and ensure he wasn't bringing any potentially dangerous contagions to Canada. But we were able to go in and meet him in big white suites that would be incinerated upon our leaving the facility that held all of the quarantine animals.

Seeing him for the first time was the happiest moment of our lives, seeing him all fluffy and content in the lovely little blanket we sent before his leaving Norway. Feeding him some oats and apples making sure he knew that all though we were leaving him in the care of the government for a few days we were so excited to have him in our life.
The days past and finally the call came, he was completely healthy and contaminent free. We loaded up the trailer and hopped in the truck taking what felt like the longest drive of our lives back down to Calgary. Happily we signed forms and papers. As he came walking out. His little gingerbread and candy cane covers blanketed still wrapped around his fuzzy body. The drive home flew by even with all the stops we took to make sure Gingy was comfortable in the single horse trailer. But with his blanket and already decently thick coat it wasn't hard for him to stay warm and content.
After what felt like 2 hours even though we know it was more, we arrived at the stables. Our herd flocking to the rails to see the new arrival, neighing and whinnieing excitedly. Backing him up out of the trailer nervously we could only hope the herd would accept him.

6 months later... Gingy has happily integrated into our herd, having made a few fast friends and a few aquanticences he has enough true friends that he will never be bullied out of food or position. By far our happiest Christmas thus far is our gift Gingy.
