Perle was an Arabian daughter of Myntyfa and Perchanceka (*Perkal x KY Kharousel), foaled 8 May 1996. Perle's mom, "PC", had many lovely foals, including two Welsh cross babies born at Farnley Farms. PC's daughter (Perle's half-sister) MHB Nepenthe (by *Imatok) was a successful endurance mare. Perle was featured in the EQUUS magazine series, "Perle's Progress," tracking her training and development into an endurance horse. She completed four rides this year before an unfortunate encounter with a rattlesnake ended her life just two weeks before her tenth birthday. The final story in the Perle series will appear in the July issue of EQUUS. Perle loved to nicker and "talk" to me; I miss her terribly. Her spirit will live in my heart forever.
Perle accepts contact from her trainer, Darcy Buller, during a ground-driving session at Celebrity Farms in Jamul, California. Perle used to fling her head and resist contact on the head and right side of the neck. After working with Darcy for three months, she became much more comfortable with contact all over her body, and began listening and cooperating with her rider rather than resisting and balking.
