Description

"FR had decided to pay for the transport of the Peafowl Friesian stallion to see how he would react towards the climate up in Canada. The preparations had been made and he would be put in one of the quarantine paddocks away from the other horses, they didn't want to put any more stress on the older stallion when he arrived. Out of all the days to pick to be groggy the weather had to pick the day he was to arrive, the sky wasn't a pleasant color at all, the monotonous greys blended in every direction one looked. When the transporter finally arrived Becca was impressed and relieved at the quality of the rig. The ride up here wouldn't have been to bad on the stallion as the trailer was top of the line, heated and with hay bedding at his feet. The brunette woman rubbed her hands together eagerly, as well as to warm them, while she waited for the doors to be let down. A deep nicker was heard as the doors lowered, the regal patriarch curiously looked out at the rather bland landscape. His nose quivered, his pelt doing the same every few minutes as the cold crept into his warm comforting trailer. 

Becca let him smell a while longer before she gently walked up into the trailer and haltered him, letting him snuff her hands beforehand and sneaking him a cookie, which he happily munched on as she clipped his halter. He was a pro at this simple stuff, having done it so long. He really seemed like a gentle old soul and walked calmly alongside Becca as she led him to the paddock. Ears pricked forward and eyes alert, the old stallion took in the scene. The snow was cold beneath his feet and occasionally he'd give it a funny glance as he walked. Once inside the fence Becca carefully unclipped his halter and stroked his soft whiskered face a few times before retreating back to the fence and promptly hoisting herself up to watch him. For a moment all the stallion did was stare at the woman, not liking the fact that she had quit petting him, but after a few minutes he looked back out to the open field and let out a snort. It was only moments after when he suddenly lept forward, long feathered legs stretching into gallop to the far end of the field. The old guy still had a great deal of spunk in him and his antics brought Becca into a small fit of laughter. After getting the initial bursts of energy out of himself he decided to strut his stuff, tramping around in a collected canter, the cold spray of snow sending excited chills across his pelt."

Lame story is lame, but yeah. x3 I saw this guy and thought it'd be neat to give him a bit of history before his adoption, some extra time under his belt. Besides.. I don't think there are any older PieFries yet. x'D Hopefully it'll be okay though. His name would be Bonaparte and he'd be somewhere from 11, 13, or 17 years old. So he's not olllld, but he's older than my other guys. c: Note that his mane is cropped and tail is kept shorter cause his hair has become more brittle with age and to keep him looking healthy they are trimmed regularly and kept short. Though his forelock hasn't been affected as much and is left long. <3
