rOMASHKA

Romashka. Translates as "chamomile" but a horse of her character would likely be named "Nelly" in the North American cultural context. Born 1997, now 6 years old. Breed: Anglo-Aboriginal. Sure-footed with a steady gate, fearless yet conservative. Among her many valuable traits is careful handling of loads, eg. she will not bang your knees into trees. The ultimate trail horse with built-in safety features like the readiness to flatly refuse to go where you shouldn't (eg. a road that ends in a swamp). If you are looking for a relaxed ride, she is the right beast for you provided you can talk/bribe/coerce her to leave the immediate vicinity of her barn.

On your request and at no extra charge she gets a pink ribbon tired to her forelock and declared a pony, to serve as our official children's horse. Although I've never measured her properly, I doubt she is more than 14.2 which, as far as I remember, is the official American top height for a pony.


This photo captures well both her typical facial expression and the esthetics of your ordinary mid-December day in the Upper Volga hills.
