Elvis Spririt is called that because we liked his spirit, a lot of overcoming and freedom, although we took him from the hands of a dealer and he already came from a long history, he arrived at the Foundation at 10 years old, we have to add the 15 years he has been with us, but at the same time he was a very traumatized horse, since he had played Horseball. And Horseball, as we know, is a sport where people ride horses and these horses have irons in their mouths, and they are constantly hanging on to the reins with the pain that this causes in the horse's mouth, with the weight, the iron, to be able to pick up a ball from the ground, which from time to time what it does is reach through the air and if it is not done with good aim and the rider does not pick it up, then it goes to the horse's face, as the horse has a blind spot in the front, when the ball reaches it through that area, suddenly what it notices is that it receives an impact, that it does not understand where the blow came from. And this game implies that, people have fun and the horses DO NOT, since they are constantly getting blows to the face and in different places, because the riders hang on to pick up the ball, and this causes a lot of pain in the mouth with the irons.
And it took a long time for Elvis to trust, it took a long time for him to allow himself to be petted and his face to be touched, because when any object was brought close to him, even if it was a friendly hand to his face, his first instinct was to turn his face away and get scared. Thanks to the children and young people who were camping in Pla de l'Orri, Elvis Spirit, trusted again. And the nickname of Spirit is because all these young people and children who came to Pla de l'Orri when they saw him said "he's theSpirit, is theSpirit" and we finally understood that it was the Spirit, since we saw the movie and realized the similarity of the Elvis Spirit to theSpirit and in reality what we have discovered is that the Elvis Spirit is the spirit who took the pseudonym Elvis and who is clandestinely in the Foundation because he is very tired of the fame of signing autographs and lives with us half-camouflaged, with his inseparable friends, Nanak and Katar with whom he has shared many years of life.
Thank you Alejandra P. for being by Elvis' side!
