Flawless Image Flawless Image or "Maggi" is an 11 year old half-Arab mare, beautiflully black with two hind white socks. She resides with Dove and four other paddock mates at Twin Oak Farms in Bracebridge, Ontario. Her owner says... "When I was younger, there was this gorgeous black Arabian stalllion that I wanted in the worst way. It's kinda funny that I ended up with one of his last foals. Maggi's sire was Mi Image and her dam was Double K Eagle, a bitchy paint pony :-). Eagle was a black and white paint that was full of attitude and that's where Maggi gets that part of her disposition. Mags is very much the ring leader of the paddock. Thankfully she has enough of her daddy in her to tone the attitude down and make her fun and not too grumpy to be near. Maggi has an incredibly laid back, easy going personality, but don't mistake that for a lack of passion, she just doesn't get excited about the stupid stuff. Mags has been a large part of my life since she was two. I went through a very rough period in my life in the past year and a half, and Maggi allowed me to escape some of it. When things got really bad, I focused on her and her training. As a result, I was actually able to take her to her first show this year. I was very proud of her!!! Maggi is the only english horse in a barn full of western riders, which has made for some interesting conversations over time. She is now learning to jump and seems to be loving it. We are looking forward to competing at more shows in 2007." Congratulations to Maggi for being my January 22nd, 2007 Horse of the Week! Horse of the Week changes sometime Sunday Evening |
