Nettis,
as this energetic horse is called, was bought at age one to be used as a dressage
horse, but this proved to be little of her liking. She has had a long career
of injuries, the latest was documented in the TV-show "Veterinärerna"
("The Vets"). At age two and a half she picked a fight with an apple
tree, resulting in her losing one of her eyes. Her motto is that it is possible
to run everywhere, even if the ground is covered with ice. If she gets out of
the pasture it is almost impossible to catch her, above all if she has her horse
buddies with her. If you've almost caught one of the horses, Nettis can come
running like a hurricane and take that horse with her, so that everything you
have left is a handful of horse hair. She can also be mischievous when it is
time to ride. Once, on their way out, her rider accidentally lost her grip of
the reins before getting up in the saddle, and Nettis took of on her own, with
saddle and bridle. She galopped their usual round and then came back to the
stable, came to the rider and let her get up in the saddle so that they could
ride away, both of them together this time. There are many stories to tell about
this personal one-eyed horse, but not just pranks. She is educated in LA dressage
and has competed with placement in LB jumping, and she is also a good driving
horse. She is totally fearless and goes where many horses would have their doubts
to enter, for example a gymnasium with a red carpet and a brass band playing
as loud as they can. She is often in the lead at parades and has stood in a
shopping mall in Stockholm, advertising computer games. She is picky when it
comes to candy, only carrots and apples are good enough for her..
