Name: Penny
Show Name: SeeAPennyPickItUp
Age: 8
Gender: Mare
Breed: Quarter Horse
Height: 14.3
Physical Description: Penny is a well built mare, a typical quarter horse. She's small in stature, only 14.3 hh, but she makes up for it in sheer presence. She is maintains her well defined muscles easily, and is in general a very hearty horse, stocky and well bred.
She is a buckskin, though a very dark one, and has no frosting in her mane like many of her color possess. She isn't the flashiest of horses in the show ring, but she can still wind up in the ribbons. An advantage of her short stature is she can easily maneuver around tight turns, making her ideal for many speed events and jumper courses.
Personality: Penny is your typical Quarter Horse. Very well rounded and can tackle most anything. She is a jack of all trades, one could say. Unlike most speed horses she has a cool head about her. She has a great sense of her rider and can tell when she is supposed to get hyped up and ready to run, in which case for some events all you have to do is steer her towards the chute and hang on. But she also knows when to keep calm and listen to her rider.
As long as you are confident around her she will do well for you, but if you get scared she can easily misinterpret that nervous energy as a cue to run. The best thing to do in an anxious situation is try to exude confidence, even if it is feigned.
History: She has bounced from owner to owner, some of them great, some of them....well, not so much. The two female owners she has had have been the most caring, but one of them ran out of time to work with her with all her other horses. The other sent her off to training and when she returned she could not handle her anymore.
The trainer had simply been no good, instead of fixing the problems he strapped more equipment to her and forced her before she was ready. So that owner sent her to auction where she began passing hands quickly, no one willing to do actual work with her. She simply can't be ridden with too many gadgets, and has a long history of breaking tiedowns and other aids.
Discipline: Speed events, Trail, Jumpers, all around
