Description: Louise is a greyed lady with a shorter stature. Her hair curls softly in the blonde grey hair around her shoulders where it sits. She is a thin lady whose body is slowly showing its age.

She appears very intimidating, but she wouldn't hurt a fly. Her nails are lengthy but her frail hands thin. She is a very kind older lady, but scary to those who wouldn't know better! She exercises her elder stallions, Tenebris & Andivir and two favourite broodmares, Vesperae & Anna, but leaves the energetic and inexperienced youngsters for her trainers.
