I am a true delight!
I have a lovely nature (so I am told) and my VERY tiny size makes me totally ideal for the very youngest children to handle me easily and I am brilliant for the children who arrive here very nervous.

What can I do?
I entertain everyone and I am always a great success. I make sure I lead quietly, jump anything, go through hoops and other obstacles and I surprise everyone by being 'dressed' from my ears to my hooves in feathers, flowers, bows, boppers and garlands.
I like being led by children who are in wheel chairs and I am good at cantering and trotting by the side of their chair quietly.

What I hate and what I love!
Well I do like to be comfortable and I feel the cold terribly. I insist that I wear at least one rug or I dither.
I really hate the wind and the rain and would much rather stay in my nice warm stable, eat and go to sleep!
I LOVE eating grass but because I should not do this at a party I wear a little muzzle to stop me- this is a bit annoying but it does not hurt me.

A bit about me.
I was not born here at The Dragonara Stud I was born in Wales. I was born exceptionally tiny. My previous owner took me to a few shows when I was a year old. I was Welsh National Champion that year too.
I came to the Dragonara Stud in February 2013 from Wales on loan to start with. I had been living out on the Welsh hills that winter without a rug or shelter and had got very cold, wet and muddy. It took a long time to heal the mud fever that I had developed and to grow my mane and tail as a lot of it had fell out where the scabs had been.
I liked my warm stable and my new rugs and in April 2015 I was actually bought by Mick and Maxine and so I could stay here forever.
I have had to go to the horse dentist several times since February 2015 and I have had a total of 6 teeth removed! Uggh! I have been told by Mick and Maxine that this was VERY expensive to have done.
I have been to shows but my real love is making children happy. I was even a Christmas Horse this year and everyone at my 'Human Mom's' school wanted their photographs taken with me.(have a look at my photos I looked really 'cute'.

My best friends
My Best friend is definitely 'Ella'. I also like 'Fairy ' she shares a stable with me. Macey bosses me around in the field So I don't often go out with her.
I hate Jack because he hates me (well he does not like any other horses really , just himself!) I never get put in a field with him because he chases me around and bites and kicks me!
I really like 'Rusty' but because he is a stallion my mum says I can't play with him because she does not want me to have babies like Macey does.
I have not played with 'Felix' yet but he looks very friendly.
