COLOR: Gray
BREED: Welsh Mountain Pony
HEIGHT: 12.3 HH
PERSONALITY:
Carlo is a cheeky pony, who you cannot help but "Aww" at when you see him. He's got that signature mischievous look to him like many ponies do have, but he's a real sweet heart. He's not bloshy like many riding school ponies, even when there is food around. He can be a little nippy at times, but only when he's really excited. To handle, he's excellent. He doesn't spook or play up. But, he can be somewhat lazy and likes to go at his own pace.
To ride, he doesn't really like to go anything over a trot but will be pushed into a canter with a lot of encouragement. This is one of the main reasons Finn bought him for Charlie, something for her to work with and get her confidence. He's not known for bucking and rearing, neither spooking. He also doesn't take off as he's so lazy. He does like the trails though, and will perk up when he's ridden on them. You're more likely to get a reaction out of him then.
HISTORY:
Carlo was bought by Finn for Charlie from a local riding school. He was sold because the school was having financial problems and had to get rid of a few horses. Carlo was one of these. The plucky pony was the perfect candidate for Charlie, and Finn knew he'd be perfect for the shy girl. They have to get his weight down though, as he's been spoiled by the little kids who used to ride him. Apart from that, he's ready to go.
