Nikki Love's Mounts

[Myssi]

SHOW NAME: Chernobog

BARN NAME: Adrastos

AGE: 4 1/2 years

GENDER: Gelding

COLOR: Black

BREED: Cleveland Bay/Perchon/Thoroughbred

HEIGHT: 17.2 hh

PERSONALITY: Adrastos is a big lovable lump of horsehair, who, in all honesty, has lost quite a few marbles. The colt's a little slow, the poor fellow, but when one masters the way he learns, he's a brilliant animal to have as a student. Adrastos is very friendly, and loves to meet everyone. It's pretty hard to spook him, and he's got a big heart. He doesn't really understand Sin's mission to torture him, and so the only thing he has a true fear of is an angry Sin, and so the colt avoids the palomino like the plague.

Adrastos is pretty fast for having draft blood in his veins, and with him being so young, he seems to have adopted the belief that he must run everywhere. Don't worry though, he won't trample you, though he may lick your face off.

HISTORY: Adrastos was a horse bred with certain bloodlines to create an excellent competition animal. Nikki is lucky to have been able to get him.

DISCIPLINE: Endurance, Hunter, English Pleasure, and will soon be introduced to Driving

SHOW NAME: Lycurgus

BARN NAME: Sin

AGE: 6 years

GENDER: Gelding

COLOR: Light Palomino

BREED: English Thoroughbred/Irish Sport Horse

HEIGHT: 15.3 hh

PERSONALITY: Sin is a brat. He does what he wants, when he wants, and refuses to listen otherwise. It takes an experianced rider to just handle him on the ground, let alone his back. He's easily aggravated and irratated, and is a ticking bomb of temper. Sin has enough attitude to last for miles, and he often takes his frustration out on the course, whether it be show jumping or cross country, and often rushes jumps, and overleaps, wasting energy. In the pasture, he's known for bossing around the bigger Adrastos, and will frequently bite and bully his stablemate.

He also taunts older horses and is known for picking his fights unwisely. He thinks he's a tough streetfighter, when he's really just an unwise colt who will get hurt one day - perhaps too hurt.

Surprisingly, it is rare for Sin to bite or kick riders. He often takes his anger out on them by violently rearing and bucking when he is seriously angered - otherwise, it's simple bucks while cantering.

HISTORY: Sin was a good horse, with good bloodlines. He was never ruined as a youngster, but he somehow went the wrong direction. It's suspected that during training, he was taught the same thing day after day, and he eventually snapped. He's not a horse you can use like that -he prefers to be entertained. Thus he was sold to the first person crazy enough to buy the beast - Nikki.

DISCIPLINE: Show Jumping, Cross Country
