The Inner Description;;

Personality;; Avel is a bugger, there's no other more accurate description for this youngster. Excitable and loud, Avel's presence is always known and he won't let you forget it. He is a sweet beast with a huge heart, and just adores attention, but he's just forgets how big he is and is very well known for stepping on toes. He's very cheeky too, and is always up to something, you can't turn your back on him for long. He can escape his stall very easily, and Una has to reinforce the locks. He loves being able to hold things though, and often has things in his mouth that he shouldn't. He doesn't swallow them, which is good, but he has been known to crush things beyond recognition.

To ride, he needs a lot of work. He's only just started his jumping training properly, and still has a long, long way to go. He's very excitable and isn't shy about throwing in a buck or two during his ride. He loves a flat out gallop and hates flat work but needs a lot of work. His stall manners aren't great, but he allows himself to be tacked up with little issues. It really just depends on his mood whether something goes wrong or not.

The Outer Description;;

Physical Description;; Avel is a handsome boy, though he doesn't show it off very often. He doesn't hold himself as well as he should, and drags his feet quite often. Una is working on his form. He'd much rather be dirty than clean, and as soon as Una has his rich, reddish coat glossy, he goes out and rolls. He can be an absolute sod when it comes to getting dirty and will go to the muddiest patch he can find. His eyes are his most beautiful feature, they're amber rather than brown and are very intelligent. He really doesn't let on how clever he actually is.
Scars;;

• A few bite marks caused by antagonising other horses
  
• A fairly fresh one caused by getting tangled in a fence up his left hind leg

[/ul]
Branding;; n/a[/size]

Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away

The Past is the Past;;

Medical History;;

• Had to have two teeth out due to over crowding
  
• Treatment for the leg that got caught in the fence

[/ul]

The Life Story;; Avel was bought for Una as a colt for her to train up herself, to keep her out of her fathers hair. Una fell in love with the pretty horse and spent a lot of time with him. They have been working solidly together ever since and Una has had little help in bringing him on. She's done well so far, but is looking forward to bringing him on further and starting to compete on him.[/size]
