.Lightweight Daisy.
Show Name: Lightweight Daisy Barn Name: Daisy Breed: Arabian Height: 14.3 Gender: Mare Age: 25 Color: White Markings: None Rider Age Level: All ages Disciplines: English - Flatwork only Personality: Daisy is a push-button mare, tolerating anything and everything the world could throw at her. She does what is asked of her as good as she can but is somewhat detached from others, having bonded to the owner of NYRS too long ago to accept much affection from anyone else. Still, she's a good old horse and is usually a favorite due to being a white Arabian, the horse of nearly every little girl's dreams. History: Daisy was adopted from a rescue by NYRS, supposedly neglected but not abused in a way that would scar her and prevent her from opening up to humans again. She was intended to be a personal horse of Dylan but he tried her in the lesson program as a horse for young beginners and she loved the easy job. Owner: NYRS Students/riders:

"Hello Daisy," Mark greeted the mare with a bright smile as he walked over to her stable. Opening the gate he entered the stable placing his bucket down and closing the gate behind him.
He picked out a hoof picker as he went by the mare giving her a nice pat on the shoulder as he began his work. Moving his hand down her leg, he squeezed right above the pastern while speaking up.
"Hoof," And to Mark surprise she had lifted her hoof up for him unlike Sparky. "Good girl." Mark praised as he began to work on her hoof cleaning out the dirt that had started to collect within her hoof. Once done, he placed the hoof picker back within the bucket and grabbed the curry comb next.
Starting on the horses left side, he started to move in circular motions with the brush putting some pressure on it seeing she liked it that way. He lighten up on the pressure once reaching her shoulder and any other boney parts one the mare not wanting to hurt her in any way.
Finished that up, he got the body brush out and did long sweeps down the body of Daisy as he went in the direction of the growth of the hair. He made sure to brush her twice for good measure seeing it was a bit dusty.
"Very good girl." Mark praised once more as he got the Finishing brush out and placed the body brush away. He swept down her ears to her neck a good couple times before placing that brush away too. Next he decide to work on her mane and tail getting the two combs out. He worked on the tail first, standing beside the horse so if she kicked he wouldn't be in the way. He did long strokes from top to bottom on the tail making sure to stop when he could comb the tail with ease.
Next he went on to the mane, splitting it up into sections so it would be easier to work with. Just like the tail, he worked from top to bottom combing through every inch till everything could be comb through together without getting caught within a tangle.
Finishing that up, he took a step back to see how his work was doing so far. "Looking good so far Daisy." Mark commented before reaching into the bucket and grabbed a cloth. Damping it with the water he brought with him, he started to clean around her eyes and muzzle being gentle.
"That's a girl." He spoke sweetly before he finished up with her. Setting the cloth back into the bucket he could help but keep a smile on his face at the work he had done with the mare.
"Well someone looks pretty adorable. I've got to go Daisy, try not to ruin your grooming too much?" Mark teased lightly patting the mare before he left waving her off as he did.
