Endurance Horses

[Lottii]

SHOW NAME: Tears of Scarlett

BARN NAME: Scarlett

AGE: 8

GENDER: Mare

COLOR: Red Chestnut

BREED: Arabian

HEIGHT: 15.2 hh

PERSONALITY: Scarlett is pushy, aggressive, full of attitude, and flashy. She has an opinion about everything and loves to be pampered with treats and the finest grooming. She knows she’s a pretty horse, and does her best to make sure everyone else does too. She’s a well-made mare with a good conformation on her, and her style of movement is elegant and proper. Toward other horses, Scarlett is rather snotty, and turns her nose up at company, preferring no other but herself.


HISTORY: She was born to grand parents, and her blood is pure and full of fire. She’s built as a champion, and her structure makes her desirable as a halter horse, but her real area of expertise is endurance. This horse can go for miles at a canter without missing a beat, strong and still full of all her spite. Her owners were impressed with her, but they were breeders, not trainers. So they sold her to a trainer who actually ruined Scarlett by the time she was three. At five she was sold again for having a “lack of spirit” and the kind old man who brought her quickly fixed that with good treatment, making the her the spoiled monster she is today.


DISCIPLINE: Endurance, some halter

SHOW NAME: Not Your Fairy Tale Knight

BARN NAME: Aragon

AGE: 11

GENDER: Gelding

COLOR: Grey

BREED: Arabian/Thoroughbred

HEIGHT: 16 hh

PERSONALITY: Aragon is a frustrated horse, who often takes his anger out on the ground, plowing across the land with no thought to the human on his back. He chews the bit and is restless when he isn’t galloping himself to death. Some trainers find him to be a psycho horse, because of his endurance, and his passion of running himself into exhaustion until he just drops.
When in an arena, Aragon with chew at his bit, grinding his teeth into the metal until his gums bleed. He’ll froth pink foam, and it’s not uncommon for him to buck and pace, ears pinned and eyes rolling. He needs an experienced rider.


HISTORY: Aragon was born a healthy foal, frolicking and friendly enough, but when he was broken, everything went wrong. The pleasant colt became a monster, and eventually, his owner was forced to sell him because of his unwilling nature. He’s been passed from home to home, and has actually collapsed in two competitions because of his stubborn nature to keep running when he can’t. No one knows why this gelding is so mad, because his breaking-in was normal, but something in him that day just snapped, and no one has been able to fix it.

BARN NAME: Flyboy

AGE: 9

GENDER: Gelding

COLOR: Bay

BREED: Mustang

HEIGHT: 15.3

PERSONALITY: Flyboy is a shy horse with a sweet soul. He’s a tad nervous of strangers once he first meets them, but after he becomes comfortable, he is like a giant puppy. Flyboy has a lot of heart in him once he’s bonded to the right person, and he’ll go any length to try and please them. Since he’s not trained in everything, at times he can get a little confused at a command, but he still tries his best to carry it out.


HISTORY: He was caught by the BLM as a six year old and was trained for the Extreme Mustang Makeover, competed, and was sold to a western rider who rode him around the ranch. Now that rancher is cutting down his horse herd so that he can keep the size of his cattle herd. Flyboy was sent to a trainer to see what could be done with him, and now he’s become an endurance horse. He still has some of that Western training, though it’s really only good for pleasure.


DISCIPLINE: Endurance, Western Pleasure
