What’s the story behind Colibri’s name?

I decided that all Shaniya’s foals should have a common theme. I decided on birds, her big brother is named Sparven (Sparrow in Swedish). Colibri was very small when she was born and quickly became very fast too. So the bird Colibri was a perfect fit.

How does she take after her sire and dam?

She’s incredible at slide stops just like her sire. And she’s so sweet and loving like her dam. And perhaps one day she will take over her mothers role as a herd leader.

Why did she get the nickname “Kicking Colibri”?

When she was born she was the smallest one in the herd by far. But her mother was the herd leader so Colibri quickly learned how to kick and boss around. Although it was mostly Lavendel she was after.

What’s your favorite thing about her?

She is incredibly calm and loving. And she is like a mini copy of her brother Sparven.

Colibri's White Snip

Colibri stands out for her simplicity, she carries almost no markings, her color pure and even from mane to tail. The only hint of contrast is a tiny white snip on the tip of her nose, a delicate touch that gives her an unmistakable charm.
