Name: Nevada
Species: Horse
Breed: Quarter horse.
Gender: Mare
Color/Build: Nevada almost looks like a buckskin, but she's actually amber champagne. Her coloring is solid, without even a white star on her forehead. She is stocky and very well built. She's very athletic and fast.
Age: 4
Personality: Nevada is usually very calm and quiet. She is very confident in everything she does. She's got a pretty mean streak but it usually lays dormant unless she is provoked. She was raised to be tough, and so she is. She won't usually take crap from anyone and because of her larger build, she's bigger than most non-draft mares and won't hesitate to push them around if they get on her nerves.
History: Born to a famous reining ranch, Nevada was one of the 4 fillies they received that year. Her sire was a champion reining horse, winning over $19,000 and her mother was a team penning horse. Being the best built filly, they threw her right into training, giving the other fillies time to fill out more. At 2 years old they had her team penning alongside her mother. She showed a gift for quick manuevers and turning on a dime. They experimented with her in reining and she excelled in it. They knew she'd be as good as her sire. But her owner knew she had more potential. Barrel racing proved to be her place to shine.
At the age of 3 she was flying around barrels like nothing. She had been started under saddle earlier than she normally would have been, but her owners were far too excited with her progress to hold her back. They didn't bother to even breed her so they could keep her going. In her third year, they were taking her to many small local shows to try her out. She never failed to bring home a winning time. Her riders were all just passengers. She knew what to do and how fast to go and when to slow down around barrels.
Just before she turned 4, she suffered a minor knee injury. Nothing to keep her from barrel racing again, but enough to keep her in the stall for a few weeks. By the time her knee healed she had been in the stall with no chance to run for close to 3 weeks. At feeding time, the stable groom forgot to latch her stall and she broke out and ran off.
