The History
Basic History: Kholli had relatively good life. She didn't have her own person but she was loved. At 3 she was started under saddle. However a few months later the girl got hurt and was paralyzed. Having no choice the girl sold Kholli to a man. From then on Kholli had a bad life. The mare was hit and abused every day even when she wasn't being worked. The mare was there for years. Eventually it came to the point where the mare got badly hurt jumping. Seeing no choice the man called Dr. Iltchenko. Dr. Iltchenko fixed the mare and found out about the mare' s past. He offered to give them a free bill if they let him have the mare. The man agreed immediately and Joseph took Kholli home. At this time Kholli's name was Kate so they changed her name to Kholli nd got her a registered name. Joseph and Veronika will travel the mare down to Blue Ridge with Kholli as their daughter's Christmas present. Kholli finally have a person of her own.
