FLYING SPARKS
Owner Name: Natalia van Arden
Owner Age: 18
Owner Occupation: Student/had jobs previously
Other Horses? none
---------------------------------------------------------
Registered name: Flying Sparks
Barn Name: Sparky
Breed: Appaloosa
Color: Leopard Appaloosa
Age: 11
Gender: mare, stallion, or gelding
Height: 15.3 hh
Personality Description: He is very sweet to anyone that doesn't get right in his face right away, he likes his space. He has a hard time trusting new people he meets, but once he trusts them, he becomes a big sweet heart. He is usually very calm, except in the competition ring or other places where there are a lot of people and other horses. He gets along okay with other horses who are calm as well, but not with high strung horses.
History: Sparky's first owner was a sweet old lady who had bought him so her teenage granddaughter could ride him. The granddaughter and Sparky competed for two years and then the girl lost interest in the horse. The lady kept him in her stable with two other horses that she took care of. She exercised them on a lunge line, but they weren't ridden for two years. When the lady died in her house, her family didn't check on the horses. It was four days later when the granddaughter went in there and found them, practically starving. She called a vet and the vet called a rescue and adoption place for horses. Once they were healthy again, they were moved to the rescue facility.
Natalia had wanted a horse her whole life and knew she would need to buy one with her own money. She went to the rescue and adoption place and that's when she fell in love with the Appaloosa gelding. She had barely enough money to buy him, he was one of the more expensive horses at the place because of his competition background. At first, Sparky didn't trust her at all, but Natalia worked everyday for hours with him, and three weeks later, Sparky was her best friend. It took longer for him to let her ride him though. It had been two years since he had been ridden, but Natalia started by letting him get used to having the tack on. But after a month, she was on his back. Sparky and Natalia have a very close bond now.
Discipline: English
Anything else? Nope:)
