The Personality
Personality: Liliya is a very willing horse. She is willing to try anything and to do her best at something new. Liliya is pretty calm around people,noises,etc. She can however spook if a car backfires close to her. Her spooks aren't all that big. She'll trot foward a couple of strides before setteling back down fairly quickly after the spook. Liliya is pretty brave. If flags are waving around or something she'll go right up and sniff at them. Liliya is also a good comedian. She once grabbed a dead snake and trotted around with it in her mouth terrorizing the other horses. Ekaterina thought it was funny though. If Liliya doesn't want to do something and you ask her to do it anyway my advice:watch out. Liliya will through a good sized temperment at you. Very few people, with the acception of Ekaterina, can stay on through her tempermental issues.
Caution Around:
The History
Basic History: Liliya was born on a Budenny breeding farm in Russia. Liliya was trained from birth to be accepting of a halter,little kids,etc. When Liliya was 2 years old she was started to get used to weight on her back. As soon as she hit 3 however Liliya was put up for sale. The man who bought Liliya bought her for his daughter. Liliya began to get started under saddle at age 3 as well. At 4 she was trained to do dressage and show jumping. At 5 however the daughter went off to college and was unable to bring Liliya with her. The man decided to put her up sale. The first people took her out on a trial but she was sent back. The next to look at her were the Petovskaia family. Ekaterina tried the mare and they clicked immediatly. The Petrovskaia family took Liliya home that day. For another year Liliya was trained to do cross country,eventing and to do more dressage movements as well as jump higher. After that year was up Liliya and the Petrovskaia family moved to the United States. Ekaterina trained Liliya when they got to the U.S. Now the couple are heading to Blue Ridge Riding Academy in Kentucky.
