Critter Profile: Beanie!
Overview!
Name: Beanie
Species: Cob Cross Shetland
Primary Caretaker: Equestrian Team
Diet: Grass, veggies (although we recently discovered that he also loves anything we make, from candy bars to sausages!)
Housed: Stable 10, connected to an open paddock to run around and stretch his legs.
Creature Features!
"Beanie" was the name given to him from his last owner before suffering too many accidents to continue to look after him. According to the owner, he is able to run at super speeds! We clocked Beanie running at 110 miles per hour from one part of Boring, Portland to the other. Golly! Now that's a fast pony!
Not only has he been able to run at super speed, but he doesn't seem to stop and would rather go through buildings. Poor Angela riding him discovered this first hand as both her and Beanie went through a canteen in Portland. Thankfully, our partners over at the SCP Foundation was very useful in helping us keep Beanie's run between the two of us and not under the press's eyes. He's a fast runner, we can give him that!
One more thing to note. He doesn't take kindly to some of the experienced folk on our Equestrian Team. Every time we try to saddle him up to get him on a ride, he would move just enough to get away from them. Even going so far as to buck them off every time we hold him down to let our experienced riders ride him! He prefers the inexperienced lot. From children to first time riders, they all say that he is an excellent pony to ride.
History!
Caption
Hi! I'm Beanie's current keeper from Team Equestrian, Robert Howard. Allow me to get all fantastical as I tell you the story of how Wilson's Wildlife Solutions managed to find and get our Runner Bean to safety.
From what the last owner told us, Beanie didn't have a good running start. According to her, Beanie was a very short pony. Didn't look very strong to stand on his four legs. I mean, gosh darn it, they nearly ended up putting him to sleep. The bas$£%ds. Sorry, I get emotional every time I recall hearing it.
Anywho, Beanie's special powers came on in the nick of time and he shot out of the stable into a field of grass. Hooray! But our evildoers still had plans for our Runner Bean. If they couldn't put down the pony, why not make a few quick bucks from him?
They gave Beanie exercise routines that would have made most horses give out. They forced him on the tracks and in the arenas for him to do some dressage. The horror behind it all! This was Beanie's life for a time.
But one day, Beanie just stopped. In the middle of the race, he came to a complete stop and his rider went flying into the wall. I honestly laughed when I heard that, serves him right for hurting him. I assume our friends in the dark kept the media from releasing the story, as this was in a regular race day at a regular horse track (Beanie was riding at 75 MPH, which you could imagine isn't normal for a horse to go). The owner then saw this, and went to the baddies. She said she'll buy the pony.
When the deal went down, our Beanie was with a very caring owner! Golly gosh, he was in fine hands!
Special Needs and Accommodations!
Hello. My name is Fyodor Gennidar, I'm one of the men behind the safe keeping of these here animals and advisor to Team Equestrian. Allow me to explain Beanie's enclosure.
Since Beanie is a fast one, we have to make sure that we give him plenty of room for him to trot around and be a giddy little one, but not too much room! I tend to think of horses like a car or bike - Allow them to go into higher gears, and suddenly we're dealing with a horse running at the speed of sound!
To stop our problem from escalating by having him smash down our fences to escape, we electrify the fence with just enough juice to keep him away from the fences. To my fellow keepers, the Gennie can be found over by the paddock's gate. In case the power goes down, don't worry. I have installed a glass that is able to withstand something like a .50 cal, around the outside of the fence that would keep him in. With that, plus the small area for Beanie to remain at a trotting pace.
In terms of dietary requirements, just feed him something that he finds acceptable, and he'll stay in fine. If you wave a piece of food about and he acts like… well, like him, then just give it to him and he'll enjoy it.
Notes about Beanie!
Back to me, Howard! As we stated before, Beanie loves being with every child and first-time rider's horse. So mister Wilson has asked that we start an Equestrian club to get kids and scared adults that horses are fine to be around. No sooner had we put out fliers around the area (much to the annoyance of our partners), everyone of all sizes and shapes arrived to take part! Wilson's Horse & Pony Club is gonna be a successful adventure all right!
EDIT: Updated 10/23/18 Its been a few months since the Club's been active and it seems Beanie is having the time of his life! I'm gonna ask mister Wilson if we can expand the paddock a bit to get kids into a new speed.
