About

"throw me to the wolves and i'll come back leading the pack," is a phrase that fits valkyrie well. valkyrie is an incredibly confident mare - at least when it comes to other horses, during training it's a completely different story! in a herd setting valkyrie's sure-of-herself body language and calm disposition usually mean she gains the lead position swiftly and without opposition - and this is where she is meant to be. although there is a duality to her, a darker side hiding within, she is an exceptional leader and has mastered the art of manipulating herd diplomacy. though manipulation is frowned upon valkyrie manipulates others for the good of the herd as a whole and usually not for her own personal gain - i mean, she does love to have a little bit of fun with it every now and then for her own amusement. she isn't named valkyrie for nothing; she chooses those that rise and those that fall. only those extremely close to her can tell what she's doing. she is a mare of few words but those that she does speak are listened to intently and followed to the letter - and if a fool tries to test their luck with her there's always a set of teeth to remind them that she isn't "bite and no bark".

valkyrie's soft spot is foals - being extremely maternal she absolutely adores them! she sees them as innocent, untainted little souls ready for moulding into good citizens of the world. she does genuinely want them to succeed in everything they do and does away with herd politics until they're older. she isn't one to play with foals - she actually has a tendency to be a 'helicopter parent' and is more concerned about whether or not the foals are playing safely - but with them she does speak softly, lovingly and tries to make every interaction a positive one whether it's a comforting brindled shoulder to lean on or turning situations into a positive life lesson that they can carry with them for the rest of their life.

around humans valkyrie can be selective. strangers will receive a nip if they don't keep their distance until she trusts them - and that can take awhile. naturally she needs a strong bond with her rider, for with them she is more vulnerable than with anyone else. valkyrie, although willing, can be cautious about training and needs encouragement - and to be allowed to investigate things like jumps before she's asked to go anywhere near them at speed. she does try her best; she knows her duty and wants to continually better herself and work through how uncomfortable new training situations and environments can make her feel.

Abilities

although severely lacking in the agility and speed department valkyrie makes up for it with impressive stamina and exceptional movement. she's also shown some 'cow sense'! with valkyrie's natural talent when it comes to movement, an almost perfect temperament and her gorgeous appearance invergowrie has decided to start training her for the show ring.
