SSS Mikkeline

o.o

Guys. I love this mare. She's so cool! So, this is the Phero x Kiss filly, all grown up (sorry, I was too half-asses to do a proper foal pic...) Anyway, I'm really excited about her future! For anyone who's wondering, all of my horses' stats are randomly rolled through www.random.org to ensure a slight realism, plus it's way more fun than having these flawless specimens all the time. That being said, Mila rolled some damn good numbers for her sport stats, lol.
Also, you'll have to excuse the last few deviations and the next few ones, too, because I know they've been rather boring! I'm kind of trying to vaguely set the stage for Six Star Stables by developing a bunch of characters, and once I have enough on the ground, I promise I'm going to start expanding upon the plot/storyline of the farm and delve into the characters, namely the main guy, Casper Hansen, who has a pretty fun story.  Hopefully that's something to look forward to.

Now, without further ado, here's Mila!

Registered Name: SSS Mikkeline
Barn Name: Mila
Gender: Mare
Age: 11 (in this picture)
Breed: Knabstrupper (KNN)
Type: Sport (Warmblood)
Bloodlines: GFEC Colour My Pheromone x EbF Kiss with a Fist
Phenotype: Extensive blanket on a bright bay base; four stockings and a blaze
Eyes: Dark brown
Genotype: Ee/Aa/Sb/LPlp/PATN2
Height: 17.1hh
Build: Light, athletic, sporty, elegant, streamlined, but strong and agile. She may look like a delicate flower at first glance because of her sheer beauty and refinement, but upon closer inspection, one can distinctly notice her chiseled hindquarters, splendidly angled shoulders, arched neck, and short-coupled back, creating an overall sublime and very balanced picture. She's leggy and lady-like, with smallish hooves, a tail that’s banged fairly short, and a medium-length but fine head.
Breeder/Owner: Hazel-rah of Six Star Stables, DEN
Temperament: Hot-blooded, extremely sensitive and a wicked quick learner. She's an incredibly bright, classy, skilled and honed horse. Very much a professional's quality ride. She's pretty much the definition of a workhorse, and thrives on being worked in any way, shape or form; be it hacking, riding, longeing, long-lining, groundwork, etc. She just loves to be stimulated and feel engaged with the people who surround her. She's a terribly sweet soul, with a heart of gold, and deep down, she really only means well, even though her enthusiastic zeal sometimes gets the better of her, resulting in her making bad decisions. She needs a light but tactful hand to ride and handle her, because she can easily get worked up into a tizzy if she feels overly pressured. But for the most part, she excels beautifully in front of a crowd because she's so tuned in and confident with her rider/handler.
Bio: Mila was born at Six Star Stables (previously Gyldneslot) long before the farm inherited its current name. In fact, she was bred by Casper's father, Lauritz, an adamant purist when it came to breeding Knabstruppers. Denmark being the cradle of the breed, he had always wholeheartedly refused to breed to anything from across the pond. This being said, Lauritz had always secretly coveted Mila's stately bred sire, GFEC Colour My Pheromone, for his stellar athleticism, and had long documented the stallion's career over the years, despite the fact he was American-based. To appease his conscience, he decided to at least use an imported European-bred American mare to pair with the stud, which he found in EbF Kiss with a Fist. Since Mila's birth, she had always been the favorite among the staff, with her candid personality and supreme natural talent. She passed her grading with flying colors as a younghorse, and showed immense skill for dressage at a tender age. Mr Hansen even campaigned the mare at several CDI competitions across Europe as she grew older, earning themselves excellent scores up to Prix St-Georges level. Although impressively gifted for the sport of dressage, she never truly had enough innate collection to successfully compete at the Grand Prix, but still made an incredible small-tour horse nonetheless. Now that his father has passed and Caspar is the newfound proprietor, he is very eager to breed the hitherto maiden mare.
Discipline(s): Dressage
Rider: Casper Hansen
Brand: Knabstrupper "K" on left hip ; Six Star Stables logo ("S" letter superimposed over a star outline) on right hip
Offspring: HDF Katarina, SSS Albatross
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored stalions (ideally warmbloods).
Availability: Currently available for breeding (contact Hazel-rah.)


Sport Stats:
Walk:
The walk is literally a 10; totally perfect in its mechanics, swaying of the hips, overtrack, and rhythm.

Trot:
The trot is exceptional, with immense expression, cadence, reach and articulation.

Canter:
The canter is excellent and uphill, but can get a touch short in the extreme collection.

Jump:
The jump is splendid, with good scope, but tends to prop over the jumps.

Collection:
The collection is definitely not a highlight, but is workable

Level:
Prix St-Georges (not enough collection ability to learn the higher level movements in Grand Prix)


Quirks/Vices: Is a mild cribber, and will not hesitate to strip the siding of a paddock fence or stall door when bored. Casper doesn’t believe in cribbing collars or straps, though, so he just lets her go to town on any inanimate object she has her heart set on.
Tack: Always schools in a black saddle pad with gold piping, black ear bonnet with gold piping, black polos, a black Sommer saddle with gold plate and solid brass hardware/irons, a fleece-lined black contoured girth with brass buckles, black fleece-lined bell boots, a fleece halfpad and fleece chin guard. The bridle is a black PS of Sweden double bridle with brass hardware/bits and gold-bling’ed out browband.
