SHOW NAME: --------
BARN NAME: Bing
AGE: Five
GENDER: Gelding
COLOR: Bay
BREED: Tennessee Walking Horse
HEIGHT: 15.2 HH
PERSONALITY:
Bing is like a bottle of pop, he fizzes up and then explodes. He's a very excitable horse which means he's quite difficult to handle if you aren't used to his ways. He gets so excited by people approaching him that he gets a little too much and can accidentally hurt someone. He'd never do it intentionally, but Courtney doesn't like to have small children around him as he's very clumsy. He greets everyone very enthusiastically, and can't help himself. It's pretty obvious when he's not well as he falls silent and stays in the back of his stall. He gets very offended easily, and doesn't like being told off. It makes him nervous and then he just wants to please those he got told off by.
To ride, he is very much the same as he is in the stall. He is flighty and quite nervous around strange things. He hates to be surprised and it has taken him a while to get used to having the dogs with him when he rides. He hasn't got the best concentration in the world, but does try his best. He's not one to purposely mess up and feels sorry for himself when he messes up. He's not spiteful in the slightest, and even when he gets freaked out he doesn't buck or rear. Or if he does, it is extremely rare.
HISTORY:
Courtney bought Bing form an auction when she was going with her sister to look for a new horse. Her sister found her newbie pretty quickly and just as they were leaving, Bing caught Courtney's eye. His seller was nice enough, and Bing wasn't scared of him in anyway so it was pretty obvious he hadn't been abused. Apparently he was bred by a small time breeder and then sold on to the seller that Courtney bought him off. He'd had little training when she bought him as he was only three and is still getting to grips with the basics. He's doing well though, but Courtney will not be doing more than pleasure riding with him.
