The Personality
Personality: Annie is generally a sweet and gentle mare, who loves to go. She's very quick on her feet, but is easily controlled as well. She pops over jumps and is a lot of fun to ride. She has lovely stable manners and the patience to stand just about anywhere she's left for any amount of time. She is typically an easy catch in the pasture, and gets along with any horse or pony in the pasture with her. All of this flies out the window however when she's in heat. Riding her can become next to impossible and while she doesn't step out of line on the ground, she will stamp, swish her tail, and pin her ears flat back during grooming. She has never actually injured someone during heat, but it does intimidate her owner a little bit. Overall though, she is a pretty pony to deal with, .
Caution Around: In Heat
The History
Basic History: Annie was born on a welsh pony farm in Northern Ireland, and doesn't have a particularly remarkable history. She was broken and trained on her farm as a hunt prospect. She was shown a couple times successfully before being sold to a lesson barn, which utilized her. The family who owned the barn unfortunately had to downsize due to financial troubles, and Annie was sold to Elizabeth's parents and given a new name. Elizabeth loved her new pony, but was a bit sore after losing her old one to old age. She has since moved on though, and Elizabeth considers Annie her very best friend in the whole world.
