Hi my name is Eliot, I am seven years old and used to race. Now I compete training level with my mother, though I have gone prelim. I am sensitive and particular yet I always try my best to please. My mother calls me lippy because I tend to grab things, whether it be a blanket from another horses stall, or the scarf around my mothers neck, but don't be mistaken, I don't bite or kick. I love my face to be brushed or rubbed with a towel. I hate water in my ears, but love a good bath with tuns of soap suds. I am a business man, and though do not always act like a gentleman in the warm up ring I always pull myself together as we go in the ring...just to be sure my mother is good and nervous. I figure then she will be even more thrilled with me later, I like to keep her on her toes. I'm totally game cross country, but the orange cone at the end of the ring I am not so sure about. I would rather be ridden outside than in the indoor any day, and tend to favor warmer weather. Also, please go easy on the apples if you ever feed me...I have a sensitive stomach and the acid in apples could upset it. And lastly and most importantly ABSOLUTELY no grain..I'm allergic. All things considered I am a very people friendly horse who prefers a confident rider.
Sincerely Eliot |
