[/center] SHOW NAME: Eternally Forever
BARN NAME: Ever
AGE: Seven
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Grullo
BREED: Missouri Fox Trotter
HEIGHT: 15 HH
PERSONALITY: Ever is a sweet heart of a mare when she wants to be, but is usually quite standoffish. She'll look for attention sometimes, but most of the time she'd rather be out in the pastures alone. She's a brilliant mother though, but very protective. She'll only let humans she knows and trusts around her foals, and it takes a long time for you to get there. She can be nervous, but most of the time nothing really fazes her. Large objects that make really loud noises is pretty much it.
To ride, when she's not in foal, she can be a challenge. Her haughty nature causes her to prance all of the time and she loves to throw a buck in there too. Primarily a barrel racer, she does have the speed for it. Yet, she can sometimes grow bored and refuse to go. She's a challenging horse but when you form a bond with her, she can be the greatest thing you have ever ridden.
HISTORY: Ever has come from a highly respected breeder. The mare had been a ranch horse for a while, up until she was was three before having her first foal. The college bought her about a year ago and she has been put into foal again.
NUMBER OF FOALS: 3
CURRENTLY IN FOAL: Yes, 7 months
DISCIPLINE: Western, Barrel Racing
OWNER: Park Equine College [/font][/blockquote]

BARN NAME: Grace
AGE: Five
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Dapple Gray
BREED: Arabian
HEIGHT: 15.1 HH
PERSONALITY: Grace has a wonderful nature. She's friendly and adores attention. She can sometimes be a little in your face, but she means nothing by it. Unlike the stereotypical Arabian, Grace isn't haughty nor flighty, nothing ever fazes the mare. She can get a little excited at times, but nothing uncontrollable. She's honestly a pleasure to handle. She makes a wonderful mother, protective but not to the extreme that you can't approach her. Saying this, she's only had one foal but is currently pregnant. She's expected to go through the fazes like a natural once more.
Grace has been used for Dressage a number of times as she has a lovely stride and is flashy enough to draw attention in the ring. She's only young, and hasn't done too much but she'll eventually be introduced to more. For now though, she's making an excellent brood mare.
HISTORY: Grace hasn't been in the college long, she came with another mare from a breeder around four months ago. Already pregnant when she arrived, she's settled in well. She's become a fast favorite.
NUMBER OF FOALS: 1

[/center] SHOW NAME: Tempting Desires
BARN NAME: Tulip
AGE: Ten
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Black
BREED: Arabian
HEIGHT: 15.2 HH
PERSONALITY: Tulip is the sort of mare who thinks she doesn't need humans. She creates a fuss whenever one is around and tries to bite them always. She stamps on peoples feet on purpose when they are handling her, and when she has a foal she's just plain vicious. But, she does have a maternal nature. She's the most protective mare the college has, which causes a problem. She's just had a foal so she's in her worst state at the moment. Yet, the college is managing to work with her. There has been a slight improvement lately.
She's only used as a pleasure horse as she is so flighty when being ridden. She just likes to take off and try and throw her rider for fun. She provides an eventful ride, but only the most experienced rider can use her.
HISTORY: Tulip came with Grace. She hasn't been so much of a hit as Grace, but was much more advanced in her pregnancy than her companion. They put it down to her pregnancy why she was always in a foul mood, but now she's had the foal they can see that it wasn't that. But, she's providing a challenge and what was the fun if every horse was perfect? There would be none.
NUMBER OF FOALS: 2
CURRENTLY IN FOAL: Yes, 2 months.

The plucky mare is an older one with much experience as a mother. She makes an excellent one, and has also fostered many abandoned youngsters. The mare is happy to spend her time with humans or alone, and also very much likes equine company. She's the sort of mare that'll let her foals wander anywhere, but still have a close eye on them. She's the most relaxed mother at the college.
The Western trained mare has only ever ridden pleasure, she's quite lazy when being ridden and only has three speeds. Walk, Fast walk and stop. An experienced rider may get her to go into a canter, but it wont last for long.
HISTORY: Trinket has been at the college for years, one of the first ever bought. She's a firm favorite and has quite a following.

SHOW NAME: Laughter Within
BARN NAME: Joker
AGE: Eight
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Bay Leopard
BREED: Appaloosa
HEIGHT: 15 HH
PERSONALITY: Joker is well, a Joker. She's cheeky and very inquisitive. She's more of a gelding at times too, she's pretty laid back when it comes to facing things. She seems to always be in a good mood, as if nothing can bring her down. She's a good mother, but can be a little irresponsible. Her first foal had to be hand raised as she wasn't sure what to do, but now she's a pro. She'll let her foal wander off at times, if she gets distracted and panics when she can't see it any more, but apart from that she's wonderful. Her happy nature makes people chuckle and she's always up for a game or just a fuss. She's an escaper too, and has been nicknamed Houdini by the staff and students. They joke that she's a bad example on her youngsters.
The pleasure mare always wants to be on the go when out riding. She's very fast but sometimes clumsy. She provides an enjoyable ride though, and really does like to go out for a hack. She's currently not being ridden as she has not long had a foal and is still nursing.
HISTORY: Joker arrived at the college when she was just a filly. She was brought to the brood barn, and never really left. She's a wonderful mare and has captured the hearts of many students and staff that have passed through, she comes in a close second place to Trinket.

SHOW NAME: Brewing Storm
BARN NAME: Rain
AGE: Six
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Palomino
BREED: Haflinger
HEIGHT: 14 HH
PERSONALITY: Rain is a little nervous around everything. She's not nippy with it, nor is she dangerous, but thinks must be taken slow with her. She likes humans, but still isn't sure of them. Other horses she's very wary of, and tends to keep herself to herself. She is unknown how good of a mother she is as this is her first foal. She's due any day now and everyone is on edge. She's predicted to not know what on earth is going on, but she may surprise everyone.
To ride, she's flighty but not to the extreme. She's getting much better and is a pleasure to take out for a trail ride. She loves to stretch her legs but does well in the arena too. She may go on to be a show horse, as she'd do very well. Her movements are fluid and when she gets used to all the people around, she'd be a lovely one.
HISTORY: Rain has only been at the college for a month and is still wary of everyone. She's settling in pretty well though and has been placed next to Trinket to see if the gentle mare can show her how to be a good mother. Trinket has been there to sooth the nervous Rain ever since she arrived and their becoming close friends.

BREED: Gypsy Vanner
HEIGHT: 14.3 HH
PERSONALITY: Charisma is a very vain mare but a sweetheart. She would never hurt a fly, but she also knows she's beautiful. At the moment, she's in a permanent bad mood due to being pregnant, but still she's not mean. She'll tell you she's had enough attention by pinning her audits back, nothing more than that. When she's not pregnant, she'll look for attention all of the time and loves to be groomed. She'll spend hours having someone pamper her.
To ride, she's wonderful. She's sure footed and pretty much bomb proof. She'll do anything without hesitation and really is a pleasure. Sometimes, she'll play up if she's bored, but usually she keeps occupied enough. She's only been known to throw a rider twice in her life time.
HISTORY: Charisma has been at the college for about 2 years and settled in almost immediately. She's a favorite with students who have nothing to do and want to groom a horse to keep them occupied and her foals never fail to be adorable.

SHOW NAME: Morning Calls
BARN NAME: Maggie
AGE: Four
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Dark Bay
BREED: Thoroughbred
HEIGHT: 16.2 HH
PERSONALITY: Maggie is a very nervous mare. She doesn't like too many people around her, and can turn nasty when threatened. Yet, you can see the sweet mare hidden beneath. She's the sort of mare that needs someone with amazing patience to work with her. The young mare does become attached to someone when she knows them well, and it doesn't take too long but she needs to gain your trust before even attempting to approach humans. She isn't very gentle, and when unsure she becomes bolshy as if to tell you to go away. And, she does have a habit of pressing her rump into the stall door which doesn't allow you inside.
Maggie is currently in foal with her first offspring, and is becoming to be a worry. She's getting more and more worked up as she grows nearer her due date, and shall be having a close eye kept on her. As she is still young, she's only been ridden a little. She's proved to be quite a nice ride, if a little flighty at times, but depending on how well she does with her foal will decide whether she goes on to have more or be trained in something else.
HISTORY: Maggie was bought by the current Broodmare barn manager, Lauren Jones. She had been going to pick up another mare, when her eyes fell on Maggie. The nervous mare was also for sale so Lauren decided she would be a welcome addition to the barn. She's already made a little connection with the manager, but with so many horses to care for it doesn't seem to be growing quickly. So, she's being used in the reproduction class for the students.
NUMBER OF FOALS: 1

SHOW NAME: Afternoon Delight
BARN NAME: Delight
AGE: Seven
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Chestnut Paint
BREED: American Paint Horse
HEIGHT: 14.2 HH
PERSONALITY: Delight is a cheeky mare but very sweet. She has an almost childish nature. She's a pure escape artist, and although she doesn't stray far, many have wandered into the barn and seen her pottering about as if she owned the place. One thing that really freaks her out though is wheel barrows, she doesn't get the concept of them and freaks out when ever she sees one. Apart from that, she's gentle and loving, adoring attention from any passing human being. She's taken Maggie under her wing and adores the Thoroughbred mare, and whenever Maggie is worked up, she seeks out Delight.
A wonderful mother, she's protective but not to the extreme. She is very loving and adores her offspring, and is very playful with them. Sometimes she can be a little rough, yet doesn't seem to mind. It's as if she's telling them to toughen up for the big world outside. It alarms people who don't know her mannerisms, but if they do they don't bat an eye lid. To ride, she's a lot of fun. Very inquisitive, she always has to be on the go. It's as if she has ADHD.
HISTORY: Delight is the mare that came with Maggie. She was the first one that Lauren decided on and was going to collect. The pretty mare has already made a big impression on the barn, especially due to her expert escaping skills. She's due her second foal soon, and is doing well. Nothing is fazing her, she's taking pregnancy in her stride as she did with the first.

SHOW NAME: Breezing Along
BARN NAME: Breeze
AGE: 8 years
GENDER: Mare
COLOR: Gray
BREED: Welsh B
HEIGHT: 12.1hh
PERSONALITY: Breeze is a sweet but spooky little pony. Around people she that she trusts she is loving and affectionate, but still quite flighty. With people she doesn't know, Breeze is just downright nervous. Under saddle, her spooky nature is even more prominent. Everything from plastic bags, strange leaves and tractors will put her own her toes and leaping sideways. The worst she will ever do is bolt though, she doesn't buck or rear. If you can cope with her nervousness though, Breeze is a lovely mare who will be an absolute gem at anything you want to turn your hand to. She's a true allrounder.
HISTORY: Breeze was bred on a stud specializing in children's ponies. The breeder kept her until she was six years old, longer than normal, to see if they could work through her spookiness so that she could become a safe, child's ride. Eventually they had to accept it wasn't going to work though, and spent a long while finding her a nice home. Sadly, her new owner soon tired of her 'misbehavior' and sold her on at auction. Breeze has never been neglected or mistreated, but she has spent the past few years in scores of different homes, and it's left her rather unsettled. Harry North picked her up and with some help from Remii managed to calm her down a lot and improve her manners. However she never really worked well as a ridden pony, so Harry decided the best thing to do would be to loan her to the college for use as a broodmare.
NUMBER OF FOALS: 0
CURRENTLY IN FOAL: Yes, 2 months
DISCIPLINE: English - All Round
OWNER/RIDER: Harry North/On loan to Park Equine College
