2005 14.1 hh smokey black mare. Awesome temperament and everything has been done right with her training, riding and handling. We found her after 5 months of searching, and was the wait ever worth while! Trained to First level Dressage and at the same time easygoing and safe for Amber to help her learn all the things to become a good rider. Her name was Mocha, but Amber renamed her Pixie - because she is magic and her hair is super sparkly (probably fairy dust) when looked at close....

A little bit Non-Hollywood lore about Pixies: "The origin of the name pixie is uncertain. Some have claimed that it comes from the Swedish dialectal pyske meaning wee little fairy. Others, however, have disputed this, claiming that due to the Cornish origin of the piskie that the term is probably Celtic in origin, though no Celtic ancestor of the word is known. Before the mid 19th century, pixies and fairies were taken seriously in much of Cornwall and Devon.... The pixies of Dartmoor are fond of music and dancing and for riding on Dartmoor colts. These pixies are generally said to be helpful to normal humans...By their presence they bring blessings to those who are fond of them.....Pixies are drawn to horses, riding them for pleasure and making tangled ringlets in the manes of those horses they ride. They are "great explorers familiar with the caves of the ocean, the hidden sources of the streams and the recesses of the land." ....Have e’er you seen the Pixies, the fold not blest or banned? They walk upon the waters; they sail upon the land, They make the green grass greener where’er their footsteps fall, The wildest hind in the forest comes at their call....
