Profile 10402 Morning Latte

He is a shining example of equine positivity, with a personality as vibrant as the morning latte that inspired his name. Known affectionately as "Bean," he lights up his barn with an unshakable optimism that rubs off on everyone he meets. Whether trotting through misty mornings, cantering joyfully over jumps, or nudging a nervous rider’s shoulder with a gentle nose for encouragement, his ears perk up at every birdcall, and his rhythmically swishing tail mirrors the beat of his happy heart. His playful side emerges in cheeky kicks at fly swatters or dramatic, fake fence-kicks when someone dares to deny him a treat, but beneath the antics lies unwavering reliability. Riders trust him implicitly in high-stakes eventing competitions and long foxhunts, knowing he’ll stay steady under pressure and never leave their side.
Born on a Vermont family farm, he developed a love for chasing chickens and mimicking older horses as a foal, and by age three, his athleticism and calm focus caught the eye of his rider, Lara, who bonded with him during challenging training seasons.
Now, in his prime, he thrives in both competition and leisure, his charisma making him a barn favourite. His quirks—like the exaggerated "yawn greeting," a treat-seeking "Tango," and a habit of swiping wide-brimmed hats—add to his charm, as do his strengths: adaptability, social bonds, and an uncanny ability to sense a rider’s emotions.
Yet, his trusting nature sometimes leads to surprises at loud noises, and he’s prone to distraction by tasty clover patches. Fun facts only amplify his appeal: His name hints at early mornings spent pestering the stable owner for coffee, and his curled tail, resembling a latte foam heart, is a crowd-pleaser. From his snort-laugh after clearing fences to his joy in trailing hounds during hunts, he embodies a rare blend of humor, grace, and determination, proving that joy is the ultimate asset in the world of equestrian pursuits.
