{ __ ZAMIRO
[/center]GENERAL
the show name is zamiro, as well as the barn name. its the only name that this warmblood brute will reply or show some type of interest in. this massive thoroughbred, percheron, westphalian mix stands at 16.2 hands high, and is eight years of age. he's most famous for his love & passion for show jumping. its the only area where public really sees him willingly, unless if its in the training arena. this stallion has a very willing temper, once you get past the thick mind that is quite stubborn, he is a one person horse, meaning he doesn't work cooperatively with other riders. zamiro is quite a stand-offish equine, and is also very anti social when it comes to interacting with other humans & horses. he is a bit of an air head when it comes to training, all of his brain cells not all wanting the same accomplishment, making him a bit of an air head and very unpredictable. though when it comes to showing, zamiro is all game and competition. proving to his mount that all the discomfort, fear, tears, frustration, and training did sink into his head, and eventually pays off.
PERSONALITY
since i did explain some of zamiro's personality and attitude up there, this area is more in detail. this large stallion is what most human doctors would say bipolar. yes bipolar. he has was seems to have multiple personalities. zamiro is very socially retarded when it comes to working, or being with other equines or humans. after his past of abusive training, zamiro is very untrusting when it comes to working with other humans. he isn't the type to just greet anyone at his stall door, it has to be that special someone. his moods are based off of the energy levels that each person brings into the barn. if there is someone there, who is frustrated, or upset over something, he translates this energy as if it's the end of the world and he should be panicking. but if someone comes in care free of the world, and has a leader energy, zimaro will have a more positive, cooperating attitude towards that person. but they have to be exact on that energy level otherwise your s.o.l on him.
HISTORY
nothing but broken, shattered and bruised memories remain mostly in his mind. zamiro associates humans with pain. plain and simple. this large brightly colour bay was bred in france, and was shipped into germany for a years professional training. now his life at his home stable was well, was treated like a king, always had someone helping him out, it was where he learned the basics, but when he moved, things seemed to have changed drastically. first of all, that saddle probably seemed like a large leather monster to him, but that really was the least of his worries. the whips, and he just had no wiggle room for mistakes. he was expected to do everthing correctly, on the first go around. the spurrs of the training seemed to be embedded in his barrel, and the corner of his lips were always bleeding after every training session. alothough he learnt many aids, his temper seemed to rise. before all this training, he was a fairly level headed stud, but once the abusive life clashed with his, he became nothing but a devil. he'd have to be drugged just so they could transfer him from paddocks to the stall. the trainer kept him there until the year was up, then he was shipped to the united states where he met up with a emotionally confused hope lessick. hope picked zamiro up at the auction for a pathetic price of all of three grand, and the first year she had him, she had him out on twelve acres of pasture. she didn't disturb him, only went out there and sat on the fence for as long as possible before she had other things to do, sometimes she throw apples out there just for spoiling him. zamiro spent the winters out in the pasture, no blanket, nothing, she just let him be a horse, and then the fallowing summer, he started coming around, whinning when he'd see her, taking a few steps towards her. by the second year she owned him, he was up by the gate, awaiting his daily treat. by that winter, he started taking lessons with him, and at first, she'd hit the dirt lots, and she also had to retrain him so he wasn't so heavy on the mouth. now, at age eight, they spent almost three years working together, their finally starting to work things out.
