• Owner: PALS
• Donor: Brian and Lesa Haggard
• This gorgeous dark bay, 15 hand, Argentine Thoroughbred mare has all the PALS riders saying anything but, "whatever", after they ride her! Whatever spent her younger days working at Culver Military Academy as a lesson horse and also as a polo player. She then became a beloved family pleasure horse before coming to PALS. Since she is used to loud noises, people leaning all over her, and balls constantly rolling around her feet - she thinks her work at PALS is a total breeze! Whatever loves giving lessons to riders of all ages and abilities; and has infinite patience with everyone. She is always very focused in her lessons and does her signature "head tilt" whenever you talk to her; as if she is questioning everything you say ... When Whatever is not showing off in the arena, she enjoys hanging out in her pasture by the barn keeping a motherly eye on all of her other horse friends.
