PHASE 1 - First Sight

Event: 2024 Loshenka Makeover
​​Phase Number: Phase 1
Horse ID#: 6451
- Issues: Fear of Women, Rope Scars
- Description: This horse is specifically afraid of women and has old (healed) rope laceration scars around their neck.
 Despite a history of being ridden, they exhibit significant fear and anxiety, likely due to past abuse.
XP Breakdown: 18xp (9xp full body + 1xp shading + 2xp basic background, 3xp headshot + 1xp shading, 2xp handler waist up)

*Katja (character shown) is non-binary and is quite androgynous so I felt it would be accurate to not show signs of anxiety while being held, all "past owners" of the horse were women and could not get past the extreme anxiety and fear from the horse. I took the fear and anxiety to be more around being ridden and not haltered, loaded, etc <3 + saying content wasn't supposed to be happy let's say but instead of having a large reaction the horse is more calm compared to others, so in this situation they are being compared to past experiences. Just some background info!
