The Personality
Personality: Malinka is very willing. She'll do anything her rider asks and learns things very quickly. Mila is intelligent though willing. If's she had enough she's not afraid to show it though. She doesn't like spurs and gets nervous even at the sight or sound of spurs. Malinka tries her best for Anna and will do anything her young rider asks of her.
Malinka's pretty quiet and she doesn't talk much. She is weary of men still though her weariness should go away. Mila is very non-trusting of men or the male race in general. No matter the age of the male she'll still won't trust him. Eventually Malinka will trust men again. If she see's one man enough, like Anna's dad, then she will eventually begin to trust him though she'll still be cautious of him.
Caution Around:Bridling, spurs, men
The History
Basic History: Born on a Budyonny breeding farm Malinka has very good bloodlines. At four years old she was broken to ride. Malinka took to a rider and a saddle very well. At six years old she was taken to her first show to get some show experience before being put up for sale. Malinka did very well placing high in dressage, cross country, and show jumping. once the show was over she was put for sale. Someone living in Russia ,though not a local, saw the mare for sale and after trying her out bought her.
Transferring stables her new owner was very cruel. He used spurs on her which were unnecessary because she was more then willing to do whatever he asked for without the spurs. The man kept using them though and soon Malinka had had enough of it. She began to keep her head out of reach whenever he went to bridle her and sometimes even picked him up the ground a few inches when she was really trying to keep him from bridling her.
After that the man had had enough of her and put her up for free. Malinka was still six years old. Anna's mom had seen the mare up for sale and had gotten her for Anna when her daughter was 11. The mare would be boarded at a stables near Moscow. Anna and Malinka got along great though Malinka was weary of anyone at first. After some retraining Anna and Malinka went to their first horse show and did very well. Two years later Malinka is on her way to the United States where Anna and Malinka will go to Blue Ridge Riding Academy
