Whisper is a shy young mare, having been bullied as a young filly she gets easily agitated around other horses. She responds better when just handled and ridden by the same person, and has a fear of men after being abused by her original breeder.
She is registered for eventing and loves to jump; but despite showing some promise in eventing, it proved to be too stressful on Whisper to continue. Her lack of trust around other horses and men, made her too unpredictable at the shows and made training even more difficult. After she threw Kiki during a training session and injuring herself in the process, it was decided that showing was simply not in the cards for Whisper. Luckily, her injuries were not serious and she has now been retired to enjoy a relaxing life in her own pasture. We thought that it would be a solitary life until shortly after the decision was made, her daughter, Little White Lie or "Lilah" arrived back at the stables for good. Surprisingly, Whisper has allowed and welcomed her daughter to join her in her pasture on Lilah's days off from training. Lilah has proven to be a great companion for her mother and is helping to calm Whisper and allow her to enjoy more of the staff's attention. |
