The Personality
Personality: Athletic, regal and haughty. Lemon is a beautiful, high maintenance mare that you cannot help but be drawn into. Her looks are striking and she knows it. She knows how to make herself seen, much like her owner, but doesn't have patience for those who do not notice her. She demands attention, and when she doesn't get it, she throws a tantrum. However, she is a quickly forgiving mare and her little feuds are long forgotten, except a few that can be explained in her history. Her stall manners are good, though she can be a little pushy when she wants to go out to her pasture. You can't fault her around food though, she's very well behaved and patient.
To ride, Lemon is just a dream. She loves what she does and will do her best in everything she does. She and Bradley have gelled very well and work brilliantly together. They're a fantastic team, neither having limits that they have found yet. They're pretty unstoppable. She also loves nothing more than a good blast on the trails to stretch her long legs.
Caution Around: Young children and cats
The History
Basic History: Lemon came to be in Bradley's hands three years ago, as a three year old. She'd been raced twice but was deemed useless to do so. So she was retrained into cross country, and then was bought by Brad's parents. Before coming to Brad though, she developed a deep dislike for young children. She'd been left alone with her past owner's six year old daughter and friends and they had hung off her, pulling at her tail and mane, and crowding her. The mare grew uncomfortable and though she did not lash out at the children, now she does not let them near and will show hostility toward them. Bradley has not let them be around her long enough to find out what she would do. Lemon also developed a dislike for cats after about a year of living with Brad. She had been in her stall when one had been lying on her back. It had then been scared and dug its claws in her back. Since then, she's had a deep hatred for felines. Since coming to Brad though, her skills have developed and she's gone from strength to strength.
