SS Aabsolut Nite

SS Aabsolut Nite is a gorgeous bay Arab, recently purchased from Kate Carter at Starlight Stables. "Anakin", as he is called around the barn, can be quite the handful. He gave his dam a bit of trouble throughout her pregnancy, causing the mare to foal three weeks late and have some minor complications during the birth. When I heard about this from Kate, I shrugged it off. After knowing Anakin, even for only about a week now, I have realized that it was an indicator of what was to come later in his life. Anakin is quite the troublemaker, albeit in an adorable way. He is currently trying to rile the horses in the paddock next to his by charging at the fence and quickly spinning and running the other way. He is constantly getting into things in the barn, and his curious nature and playful antics are always causing us to roll our eyes. For the most part, he is easy to handle, though he can be a bit headstrong at times. Under saddle, however, he has a tendency to buck and get frustrated easily. At least this way he is making sure we don't rush his training and miss something! Kate said this guy would be a great sporthorse, and his show record so far is proving her correct. I am very happy to have had the chance to add SS Aabsolut Nite to my herd, and I am confident that he will continue to prove his worth, both in the show ring and later as a stud.
