Standardbred, mare born 2005.
Nickan was one of those "here, you can have her" horses. She kinda got lost in the shuffle at the breeders´ and she gave her to Annelie as a 2-yearold. A stikingly beautiful filly, built like a stud with plenty of size on her, pitchblack with grazeful moves. We started her handling, driving and working her in the roundpen. But as with most of our projects we just didn´t have the time...
After putting her in a cart and jogging her all of last summer, she got spooked and threw Annelie and took off in to the woods, cart bouncing behind her. She didn´t get seriosly hurt, but was shaken and we had to start over with line driving and such before putting her in a speedcart again.
Annelie finally surrendered this fall and leased her to a trainer in southern Sweden to give her more of a chance. She´s doing great down there and should, if all goes well, be able to qualify and start this summer. She seams tallented enough, and if she holds up she should have a shot at some money on the track.
