EDIT: I WON HER.

So I've recently stumbled upon this video by Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling [link] and I've been fascinated by natural horsemanship for ever aand I really wanted to bring this into my own stable.
Besides I just couldn't walk by this most gorgeous BayBay.
And Nathan needs a horse that's a challenge for him.xD After his recovery of course.

Also foliage brushes...
FOLIAGE BRUSHES MAN.
They're awesome

Relaxed, with his hands stuffed into his pockets, Nathan strolled down the pastures at Hardy Stud, examining all the horses that were up for the auction. There were a lot of interesting animals, each with exceptionally good bodybuild and some with quite flashy coat colours. But those didn't catch the man's eye. He walked further until he heard a high pitched whinny. A rather gorgoues bay mare pranced around and threw her head up against the lead rope a young lad was gripping tight. He lead the her over into the outdoor arena where a few people had gathered already for further examintaions. Curiously Nathan joined the group and watched while the young boy struggled to control the mare. Finally he was able to untie the leadrope and let her run free, get rid of her spare energy.
After some time the interested persons were allowed to get in contact with the mare, who was called by the name BayBay for some reason, Nate didn't really catch. Once it was Nate's turn he tried some techniques he learned on several natural horsemanship seminars. He had noticed earlier already that the mare tested the humans, she wanted to see how far she could go and needed clear borders. So when she began to charge at him, Nathan just calmly remained where he stood and didn't move an inch for her, hoping he hadn't completely misread her bodylanguage.

Adoptable #81:

Name: EMS Grimm
Nickname: BayBay, Mule
Breed: Norwegian Warmblood
Gender: Mare
Age: 3 years
Height: 16hh
Genotype: EE/Aa
Color: Warm bay
Markings: Coronet band on hl.
Unique quirk: This mare has a few quirks she absolutely loves her belly being scratched she will stretch out if your do so and then her ears droop and her back leg twitches - she may have been a dog in a former life Oh there will DEFINITELY be a picture of this IF I get her.xD It's just too good to not draw.^^
Personality: This mare is a fiery hot-heady girl she will fight you every step of the way to test if you will break and if you do it's very unlikely she will listen to you ever again. But if you don't break she will be the best horse you have ever owned. She's powerful and has beautiful paces. She tends to prance around and throw her head nervously when in big crowds, though and needs a clear commands, nothing half-hearted or lovey-dovey-sunshine stuff.
History This mare was imported from Norway where she was born and raised. She was treated like a princess and so acts like one, the people around her doted on her and she formed a bond with one of the staff when it was time for her to move on her attitude changed from a laidback character to a fiery high-strung character
