SHOW NAME: Red Hot
BARN NAME: Chili
AGE: Ten
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Bay Blanket
BREED: Appaloosa
HEIGHT: 16.2 HH
PERSONALITY: Chili is sweet natured and very docile, you wouldn't think he was a stallion. He's lovely with other horses and very submissive. He loves attention and whinnies whenever someone comes into view. Also very greedy, you have to have a treat for him if you come to visit. He loves his stall and would rather be inside than outside.
To ride, he can sometimes be a pain as he gets very excited. But once he calms down, he's lovely. He excels in jumping but also makes a wonderful dressage horse. His favorite thing to do though is go for a long trail ride to stretch his long legs.
HISTORY: Chillie has been at the college for five years and is a valued equine. He's sired many appaloosa foals, from mares that have been and gone. Also the three Joker has had. He provides excellent offspring and is often in demand. The handsome stallion really is a treasure at the college.
SIRED: 9 Offspring

SHOW NAME: Fire Starter
BARN NAME: Arson
AGE: Ten
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Black Silver Dapple
BREED: Missouri Fox Trotter
HEIGHT: 15.2 HH
PERSONALITY: Arson has a fiery nature which is wonderful to watch. He's a challenge but not dangerous, he'll test you but not too much. He can be pushy but will stop of told to. His floor manners could do with improving, but to ride he's lovely. He can really test someones patience if he's in the mood but usually, under the saddle, he responds well. One thing he doesn't like is other stallions. He's always trying to gain dominance and he hates to be challenged by others. Geldings he gets along fine with, and ever adores foals.
HISTORY: Arson came from the same breeder as Ever. The pair are completely unrelated and he has just sired a foal with her. The wonderful stallion has already won over the cowboys at the academy. He's competed for many years now and has many 1st places under his belt.

SHOW NAME: Silver Lining
BARN NAME: Brok
AGE: Fifteen
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Silver Grullo
BREED: Norwegian Fjord
HEIGHT: 14 HH
PERSONALITY: Brok is more of a lap dog than a horse, and a cheeky one at that. He loves to follow people around and adores company. He gets so excited when someone comes near him that he quivers. His unusual coloring makes him popular with new members of staff and students who haven't seen a Fjord this color before, and he's popular with the older residents as he's such a sweetheart.
To ride, he needs to stop and investigate EVERYTHING. But, when in the ring, he sort of changes into an equine who actually knows what he is doing. Apart from that, he can be seen as dull and lazy. But, when he gets going there is no stopping him.
HISTORY: Brok has been at the academy for many years now and is like part of the furniture. He's won a lot with the students that study here and has sired 5 of Trinkets 7 offspring. Many other breeders have expressed interest in him as well because of his color and has many offspring all around the place.

SHOW NAME: A Night To Remember
BARN NAME: Vegas
AGE: Thirteen
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Buckskin Paint
BREED: Gypsy Vanner
HEIGHT: 15 HH
PERSONALITY: Vegas is very much a showy stallion with a huge ego to match it. He can sometimes be foul tempered and it's best just to ignore him and it passes. He's not social and he's always looking to be the most dominant. Not many people can handle him, and if they can it's usually the most strong willed of humans. You could never let him take advantage of you, he'll kick and bite you without a second thought.
To ride, he's lovely when in the ring. Otherwise, he's evil. He throws you off whenever possible and will go into a bucking/rearing frenzy. He isn't a favorite at the college, but produces wonderful foals and will remain at the college.
HISTORY: Raised by a Vanner breeder not far away, Vegas seemed like a perfect equine to purchase. Boy, did the college regret it. But, he's still here and has just sired Charisma's foal. He's also been the sire to many foals not at the academy. He's highly sort after as he is such a well accomplished Dressage stallion, even if he's not the nicest tempered equine.

SHOW NAME: Walk On The Wild Side
BARN NAME: Casper
AGE: Nine
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Gray
BREED: Arabian
HEIGHT: 15.2 HH
PERSONALITY: Casper is flighty, but not nervous. He can be gentle but sometimes has a funny five minutes where he goes absolutely wild. (Hence his show name). He bucks and rears, throws himself around and then it all suddenly stops. But, after that, he's the perfect gentleman. This doesn't occur daily, it's more weekly. He's got lovely floor manners and to ride he's wonderful. Unusual for the breed, but his forte is cross country. He makes a wonderful show horse and loves the atmosphere.
HISTORY: Casper has been at the college for a while now, and is a very well known face. He's sired many foals for horses that have been and gone but hasn't sired any with the current brood mares. He's won many competitions and is a favorite with students and staff who don't have horses of their own to use.

SHOW NAME: A Wicked Intention
BARN NAME: Diablo
AGE: 12
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Dark Bay
BREED: Andalusian
HEIGHT: 16.1 HH
PERSONALITY: Diablo has an opinion, and he’ll tell you outright what it is. He’s a horse who knows his stuff, and is an absolute show stopper with the right partner. He’s old-fashioned, fancy, and his steps are envied by many riders who have seen him compete, or even do a few dressage movements. Diablo has not been to many competitions because of the fear that he would be stolen. But, Diablo is a well-trained, somewhat well-mannered stallion who is rarely a trouble-maker if he respects you. To earn his trust and respect, you must give it. He does not tolerate stupid riders who do not know what they are doing.
HISTORY: He was trained in Spain and imported to Austria to be taught the ways of Dressage. They kept him there, but because of his almost non-existent show record, he couldn’t earn his keep with the stud fees.

SHOW NAME: Guilty Promises
BARN NAME: Nero
AGE: Seven
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Black
BREED: Friesian
HEIGHT: 16.2 HH
PERSONALITY: Nero has a temperament that varies. Sometimes, he can be a lovely natured stallion who wants to please everyone he comes into contact with. He'll be lovely mannered and accept as many fusses as he can. But other times, he's a bad tempered bugger and nobody can get near him. He'll swing his rear around as if to kick, though it's rare that he'll ever do so, and make it extremely clear that nobody is to touch or even approach. Groom's tend to just put his feed over the stall door to avoid injury. These moods can last for minutes, hours or even days. After that, he'll return to a peaceful, happy horse once more.
To ride, again it's touch and go. Most days, he's happy to do what is asked of him. Others? Not so much. He's more than likely to drag his feet when reluctant to work, moving at the slowest pace possible. He's also very stubborn, so it takes a lot to persuade him that actually working will get him somewhere. On his good days though, he's a star. There isn't much that will challenge him, and he's usually up to try anything. This makes him a perfect competition horse too, as the atmosphere of a show does not phase him and he's always willing to attempt whatever is thrown at him. He does need to be paired up with a rider that has enough enthusiasm and courage to go as far as himself.
HISTORY: Nero is one of the three stallions arriving to Park from a stud farm in Scotland. The stud farm doesn't specifically specialize in one breed, but they have produced more than one brilliant Friesian over time. Nero is the descended of the highest Cross Country competing Friesian in the whole of Europe, and has obviously taken on his ancestors natural ease on the cross country course. He's won many competitions and has been brought to Park in hope that the students here will be able to bring him on further. So far, there hasn't been a rider found daring enough to attempt what Nero is willing to do, and it is hoped that said rider will come from Park.

SHOW NAME: Casanova Kisses
BARN NAME: Cass
AGE: Eleven
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Classic Champagne
BREED: Quarter Horse
HEIGHT: 15.3 HH
PERSONALITY: Cass is an excitable boy who's never seemed to learn manners. The stallion is always happy to see humans, thus makes him more than a little clumsy in his haste to make friends. It also seems that his memory span is incredibly short, because no matter how many times you tell him to back off and straighten up, five minutes later he's completely forgotten and is on your toes once again. But he's a real sweetheart when he calms down, and a joy to be around while at a safe distance. If you really want to build up a relationship though, you'll have to chance the more than likely crushing of toes and various bruises from accidental pushing and shoving.
To ride, he can be rather sluggish to start but soon gets into it. He's been known to throw riders, but only if he doesn't like how the person is working with him. There have been some riders who are too rough with him, which he doesn't tolerate in the slightest. It can be touch and go when he's competing, but usually he's on his best behavior and provides the top results. He's a favorable steed for those whom have built up a relationship with him, and trust him. He works a lot better when he can sense that his rider trusts him, and works a lot more smoothly.
HISTORY: Cass is coming from the same stud farm as Nero, and had been a much harder to persuade the farm to part with. Sam, whom had only gone to collect Nero and another horse, had seen Cass and had instantly fallen for the clumsy yet adorable stallion. His owner was willing to part, but it took them a while (and a few phone calls to the college) to negotiate the correct price. Soon enough, Cass was in the trailer along with Nero and the other equine. Cass had originally been trained in Spain, but was bought by the stud farm when he was just three. The youngster had been brought on by various riders, but nobody has ever fully stuck with him. He's quite a hard horse to glue with for a long period of time.

SHOW NAME: Double Dare
BARN NAME: Doc
AGE: Fifteen
GENDER: Stallion
COLOR: Black
BREED: Clydesdale
HEIGHT: 18.1 HH
PERSONALITY: Doc is a quiet equine who's generally very chilled out. He's so relaxed that most of the time, it seems as if he's sleeping. He doesn't have an opinion about most things, and is just happy to go with the flow. He doesn't care who or what comes into his stall, has no problems with other horses and is an all round pleasure to be around. The large structured steed isn't opposed to human contact, but won't go looking for it either. He does like to have behind his ears scratched though, and will always lower his head in hopes that it will happen if a person is close enough. Doc is obviously an intelligent brute too, it shines in his eyes which is obvious to anyone who bothers to look. He has no trouble learning how to escape his stall or pasture, but just doesn't have the drive to do so. He just couldn't care less most of the time.
To ride, he's surprisingly energetic. It's as if a saddle on his back awakens him. He prances in excitement as he's being tacked up, which is difficult without it due to his sheer size, and takes a while to calm down before any work can truly be done. He was originally broken as a cart horse, but trained into dressage as soon as the stud farms owner's daughter got her hands on him. He was graceful enough to succeed, and strange enough to see in the ring to capture the attention of many.
HISTORY: Doc is the last in the threesome arriving from Scotland. He was a truly treasured member of the farm, but had to be sold on because he was purely the owners' daughter's horse, who had little time for him now that she is attending university. William Chambers, the Dressage Instructor, had specifically been asked to take on the horse, whom then reccomended Doc to the college. The owner was an old friend of his, and Will is eager to see who will match well with the relaxed stallion.
