Duffy's Horses

[DUFFY BREE JEANETTE FAIRLEE]

Registered Name: Börje
Stable Name: Niro
Age: 5 years
Gender: Gelding
Breed(s): Swedish Warmblood
Height: 17H
Discipline(s): Dressage, Cross Country, Show Jumping
Owner(s): Duffy Fairlee
Personality:
Niro is a very sweet horse, though very work oriented. When he's on the job, nothing can distract him, and he's always eager to please his rider. He's pretty much a loner and doesn't like being the pasture with more than one horse at a time (he'll usually just put up with Blues), and can usually be seen lazing around off by himself. Niro's a pretty calm, level-headed horse, and not much bothers him, though he is easily worked up when at an event and he knows he's there to compete. His one vice is men. He doesn't like men, doesn't trust them, and is definetly a woman's horse, no doubt about it, but he will work for them. Just not as well as he would a woman.
History:
Niro was bought by Duffy's parents from bigtime Swedish Warmblood breeders for a hefty price, and then imported into the states from Sweden as a four year old. He'd initially been bred as solely a dressage horse, but after Duffy got ahold of him, it became apparant that he had a natural ability for not only dressage, but show jumping and cross country as well. He's been with her for a year now, and is excelling at everything he's put to. He's shown heavily throughout the year, and is absolutely adored by anyone who meets the gentle giant.

Registered Name: Clue For Renegade Blues
Stable Name: Blues
Age: 7 years
Gender: Mare
Breed(s): Egyptian Arabian
Height: 15H
Discipline(s): Dressage, Cross Country, Show Jumping
Owner(s): Duffy Fairlee
Personality:
Blues has a bit of a quirky personality. She still acts like she's a yearling, and loves to play and romp around when let loose, racing everywhere she goes, never walking. She absolutely despises regular horse treats, such as carrots, turnips, or name brand treats. She has a bit of a sweet tooth, and loves apples, sugar cubes, and peppermint treats, but bananas are her favorite. She's also a bit of a priss, and if it's muddy, no way is she goin through that. If it's raining, she throws a fit. Getting wet is not her favorite thing, although she loves baths, but only if they're warm. When being rode, she likes to work, but only on her own terms, at her own pace. If she doesn't want to be ridden, she's gonna let you know. She's never offered to buck or rear, but she'll do her best to make things as difficult as possible, unless you figure out a way to make her think the whole thing was her idea in the first place. But when in the show ring, she has a flashy attitude, and loves to show off.
History:
Blues was bred by Duffy's parents and out of one of their best mares and stallion. She spent the first three years of her life having the run of the place, the best foal out of the crop that year. She was due to be sold, after going through some light training, to a friend of Duffy's parents who wanted her as a jumper for their daughter. But that deal was soon cut short when Duffy chose Blues as her first horse when she was three. The two clicked immediatly, she underwent some intense training at the hands of Duffy and the trainers at the farm, and was soon molded into the perfect, all around eventer that she was bred to be. She's still shown a lot, and is the most pampered and spoiled horse you'll ever meet.

Registered Name: My Little Prince
Stable Name: Punk
Age: 8 years
Gender: Gelding
Breed(s): Quarter Horse
Height: 15.2H
Discipline(s): Speed Events, Roping, Reining, Cutting, Western Pleasure
Owner(s): Duffy Fairlee
Personality:
Punk is a just a laidback, sweetheart of a gelding. He loves people, loves company, and is always the first to the gate when it comes time for a ride, or someone passes by. Sometimes he can be a little pushy, especially when looking for treats, but he can always be reprimanded fairly easily. He can be trusted with little kids, and seems to know when he should be quiet and gentle. Not that he isn't always anyway. Anyone can ride this horse, and he does everything that is asked of him without question, no hesitation. Punk is the ultimate beginners horse. Calm, cool, and with the most patience of any horse you'll ever meet.
History:
Punk was originally bought by a small ranch as a work horse to use to move cattle around the place. For the first few years of his life, he was used just as a cattle horse, roped off of and used to seperate cattle. He was easily broke, and used by anyone who needed a good, steady horse to ride for the day. When the ranch owners son started to get into speed events, he took Punk and started riding him in the local Rodeo's and O-Mok-See's, sometimes the occasional show. But soon, the son went off to college, and decided to sell him when Punk was 8. Duffy found him, bought him, and started taking western riding lessons on him. She's only had him for a few months, but already loves him to death.
