Growing Up

As you can see from the pictures the little filly I got at five months old is growing up. She is 2 now and stands at 12.3 hands She is a beautiful bay with arabicano markings. Her personality has developed into something amazing. Her name, Matoaka, means Little Snow Feather. Matoaka was Pocahontas's real name. Some believed it meant greedy one which in reality would explain Matoaka. She has to be the center of attention. If your not paying attention to her than you might as well prepare yourself because she will MAKE you pay attention.

I have said before that Matoaka is really strongheaded and that is so true. She is independent from others. She doesn't like people that she doesn't know, so anyone other than me and a few selected people who she knows she is know match against, will be clearly warned of her dislike if they try to be superior over her.

She has overcome numerous obstacles like, water, tarps, jumps, bags, ditches, snakes, birds, deer, longing, and many others while wearing a saddle. She has gone through desensitizing and isn't scared by most things. Within the time of 2 months from now Matoaka will be ridden and my hopes for that are high. Although she can be bad at times it's like she was born too wear a saddle. As soon as she has it on and is going, she becomes the vision of a great horse.

Matoaka has definately grown up into a wonderful horse and especially a wonderful Corolla Horse.
