At first glance, Anja is unremarkable, a healthy white mare with a pristine coat and a gentle, even temperament. She bears no unusual markings, possesses no extraordinary speed or strength, and displays none of the fiery spirit often celebrated in warhorses or racers. Instead, she is the picture of an ordinary, well-kept horse. What sets Anja apart is not immediately visible. She comes from a carefully managed bloodline selected for exceptional fertility, making her a valuable broodmare capable of producing healthy foals with remarkable consistency. Though such qualities are invisible to the casual observer, breeders prize mares like Anja for preserving and expanding desirable bloodlines.
