maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 3, 2018 18:22:34 GMT Welcome to Maple Wood Equine Shenanigans! I will start by introducing our horses along with past pictures of them from the old forum! First we have Simba! Simba is our primary stud here at MWE and is one of our best competition horses. Simba is a bit of an oddball, he rarely shows any characteristics of a stallion even around mares. He gets along well with our other stallion and behaves wonderfully when being handled. Sim has been with our owner Willow Hall since she was 15. We know this wonderful boy like the back of our hand and can always rely on him to bring a good reputation to our stable. His favorite thing to do undersaddle is hillwork and he loves rolling in the grass when the dew is fresh.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 9, 2018 17:39:07 GMT Meet Crow Crow is a favorite here at MWE. Crow is a young Australian Thoroughbred with bloodlines that range from the track to the show jumping ring. He has a firecracker personality and really enjoys the game "how far can I throw my rider". He isn't an aggressive horse at all, he is just really playful. When he decides to cooperate, Crow is competing in Show Jumping and does enjoy the occasional cross country school. Willow plans to take him to the Grand Prix level when he is ready. Crow is a bit of a loner in the pasture and his favorite thing to do is to run around the pasture as fast as he can. His favorite thing to do under-saddle is gymnastics, he always throws a playful buck after each go. (Crow has an irrational fear of orange objects (that is the reason for picture 4))

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 10, 2018 16:25:11 GMT Meet Blue Blue has only been here at MWE for about 8 months but he is definitely part of the family! Blue is a lesson horse in training (he's still pretty young) and is currently a project for our working student Daphne. He has shown a few times and was very good! Blue is a very friendly horse but is a bit shy around other horses. He doesn't like to be alone but isn't very playful. Blue really enjoys trail-rides and being fed carrots.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 10, 2018 19:44:04 GMT Meet Aphrodite Aphro has been at MWE since the very beginning. She is a super talented mare and took Willow to her first Grand Prix. Now she is getting back in shape after having her third foal. Aphro's first foal or should I say foals were a special case. Aphrodite had two little fillies, twins, and with help from our vet both are now 4 years old and coming along great. Aphro can be a bit ornery sometimes and has your typical mare attitude. Aphro's favorite thing to do when being ridden is to not be ridden. She enjoys grooming her grown babies in the field.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 16, 2018 19:19:55 GMT Meet Cincinnati Cin is a funny horse. He is basically a puppy trapped in a young warmblood's body. Willow is currently training him to become an upper level hunter and it has been going great. He is a very friendly horse and really enjoys exploring on trail-rides. He also loves to goof off in the pasture with Sim and others. Cin is such a sweet horse and we are very excited for his future.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 18, 2018 19:38:31 GMT Meet Whinnie Whinnie is a pretty, bright mare with a very big heart. Willow bought Whinnie as a 4 year old and broke her in to be a hunter. When she was 6 years old, she suffered from a leg injury. It wasn’t too serious but it was recommended for her to take a year or two off. With the vets approval we decided to breed her to one of our stallions. She then had her filly Luna. A few years later she was bred to Simba and had her filly Candy. She is now back in training and did very well in her last show. She is a very calm horse in the pasture and loves to graze. When you are riding she wishes you weren’t. We plan to breed her again soon.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 18, 2018 19:45:06 GMT Meet Potion Potion is a feisty young mare with quite the attitude. Sje is one of the twins and definitely knows she is special. Around the barn we like to call her the “Dragon” because if she doesn’t agree with what you want her to do then she will let you know. On ground she can be a little pushy but thats just because she is young. She is currently jumping small 2ft courses and will hopefully stay there for awhile (learning manners) before moving up. She came with the barn to the last show to school on the flat. Potion is very playful in the pasture and loves to pick on her sister. When being ridden, she looooves to jump and will quite literally drag you to the nearest fence.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 18, 2018 19:53:57 GMT Meet Paris Paris is the complete opposite of her twin. She is a sweetheart with a very willing attitude. Because of this she is much farther along then her sister. She also came to the Bay Side show but was able to school over fences with no problems. She is ready to show in the baby greens and we are very excited. She is so willing to please that she can sometime jump the gun when it comes to jumping (picture #9). She gets picked on a lot by her sister in the pasture but she can definitely hold her own. She really loves to splash in the water buckets. She also loves learning new things in the ring.

maplewoodequine • Trail Dust Taster Posts: 43 Likes: 12	Post by maplewoodequine on Apr 18, 2018 20:07:52 GMT Meet Candy Candy is an……. Interesting horse. She is very young and has just been saddle broken. She is very skittish and headstrong so we expected her to freak out when we saddled her but she was very well-behaved. She’s a big brat in the pasture and we have considered putting her in solitary confinement (time out). She’s actually kind of sweet on ground but still acts like a baby. She has really good breeding and we are excited for her future. We don’t know what her favorite thing is under-saddle and we are a little scared to find out. Candy isn’t an aggressive mare in the least bit and we think her attitude will improve with age.
