The stable family
The Workers
Trippi
Birth: XX.XX.XXXX Level: C-D
Trippi is our big gentle scaredy-cat. He feels most comfortable in a group, happily hiding behind one of his friends for emotional and physical support. Trippi is big, very gentle to ride, but still has a little trouble staying on the straight line and following the track — mostly because he gets scared of sounds. Riders need patience and a lot of kindness. Once you’ve won his trust, you can enjoy the most beautiful, smooth gaits with him.
IT
Birth: XX.XX.XXXX Level: C-D
IT is very stubborn on the sand arena and likes to swing his little booty to the inside from time to time. On the trail, he’s fast as lightning. He’s one of the smaller horses, friendly (to humans), and very soft and smooth to ride. Once he has your heart, he becomes a lifelong companion… just with a strong personality and a mind of his own.
Undercover
Birth: XX.XX.XXXX Level: C-D
Once mega tall, mega fast, a true legend.
Today? More… energy-efficient. A little stubborn, occasionally selective about effort.
In the sand arena, he likes to swing his little booty to the inside — just to keep you humble.
On the trail? Fast as lightning. Blink and he’s gone.
Calm, clever, sometimes thick-headed — but wake the animal in him and ohhhh… the legend is back.
Friendly (to humans), smooth to ride, and once he has your heart, he’s yours for life.
Just with a strong personality — and a mind very much of his own.
