SEVERAL SAILORS

I feel these 4 walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out... hmm

Breed;; Quarab
Colour;; Chestnut
Height;; 15.3 HH
Gender;; Gelding
Discipline;; Western - Ranching, Roping and Barrels
Owner//Rider;; Jesse King

Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast

The Inner Description;;

Personality;; Simbad is a very hot headed gelding with a stubborn attitude. He can be flighty, but it's more out of choice rather than actually being scared. He will make every ride a test if he can, though somewhat behaves on the trails since he enjoys them. He's a very agile horse, thus a pain in the backside to catch and load as he almost always slips out of grasp. He's also very observant, there isn't much that gets past ole Simbad. This makes him a curious beast, as well as mischievous. He just can't help himself most of the time.

To ride, as said before, he's very agile. When this comes to barrels, he's very difficult to beat. In competition, in fairness to him, he does know that he has to behave at least for his round. When in training, it's a free for all. He throws himself around as if he hasn't a care in the world and loves to throw in an impression of a rocking horse. The trails are his most favourite thing, and he's like a dream if he's doing something he enjoys.

The Outer Description;;

Physical Description;; Simbad is a well muscled creature that walks proudly, unless he's playing up. He liked to keep clean and can be very finicky when it comes to his looks. His chestnut coat has a lovely shine to it and he has a white blaze along his cranium as well as two hind white socks. He holds himself well if he puts his mind to it while working, but often just completely stretches out much to Jesse's dismay. He's a sod, but a handsome one.
Scars;; n/a
Branding;; n/a

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

The Past is the Past;;

Medical History;;

• Tore a ligament in his left hind leg as a colt. It fully healed

[/ul]

The Life Story;; Simbad was bred by Jesse’s parents on the ranch, and has been one of the hardest animals Jesse had to train. The horse has always challenged him every step of the way, but does adore being ridden. He just thinks he knows best. Jesse does have a large amount of affection for the troublesome gelding though. He would just never make it known to Simbad as he has no doubt that the gelding will use it to his advantage.[/size]

The Inner Description;;

Personality;; Palette is an absolute sweetheart. She's affectionate and loves a good cuddle. Especially off Tom, who is often found sat on her back when Jesse is leading her in and out of the pastures etc. She is also very cheeky though, and likes to steal things from you. She's taken Jesse's wallet numerous times and also has a thing for hats. She's also very nosy, and likes to make her opinions heard. It's very rare to hear Palette silent, she's always making some sort of noise unless she's feeling under the weather. This clever little filly is also very bold, not much intimidates her, and if it does, she will keep going back to investigate it to make sure.

The Outer Description;;

Physical Description;; Palette is a pretty little filly, though she has no idea. She prefers to be covered in dirt and throwing herself around rather than being made to stand and groomed. Jesse has no objections to this. Her pelt markings enhance her facial features, and also create lovely patterns on her legs. She's has a large birthmark on her underbelly in an almost chestnut colour. She's quite dainty and delicate, and if she's not playing too vigorously, she makes very little noise with her movements.

Medical History;; n/a

The Life Story;; Jesse hand raised Palette when her dam sadly passed during birth. She was also a twin, but the other foal also did not survive the birth. Though it was a sad loss, the King family were just glad that they had Palette to show for their hard work, as her dam was a favourite on the ranch. Palette has done very well as a hand raised filly, and just adores the company of humans and other horses. She’s going to make a wonderful horse as she grows and Jesse is very excited to start working with her.

SPECKLED FEVER

I feel these 4 walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out... hmm

The Basics;;

Registered Name;; Speckled Fever
Barn Name;; Speck
Age;; Ten
Birthdate;; 17/05/2002
Breed;; Appaloosa
Colour;; Palomino Leopard
Height;; 15.3 HH
Gender;; Mare
Discipline;; Western – Ranching and Pleasure, Used to be Barrels
Owner//Rider;; Jesse King

Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast

The Inner Description;;

Personality;; Speck has almost grown old before her time. After the injury, she became a lot more lethargic and lazy, as if she didn't have to work anymore. Jesse does have to exercise her though, otherwise she seizes up. She also prefers to be pastured all year round, so is rarely in her stall unless the weather is really bad. She is a very calm horse though, not much bothers her. She likes affection, but doesn't like being smothered. She's also very quiet. Where as it's rare not to hear Palette, it's rare to be able to hear Speck.

To ride, she can be very lazy but she's also reliable. He could trust her with anyone on her back, and she would always be the first horse to turn to if he wanted an easy day and a friendly companion. She doesn't buck, nor rear or take off. She's just happy to go for a long walk over the trails with the occasional trot and canter. She will occasionally treat Palette and Simbad to a game in the pastures though, and you really see her on her top form them. The horse she had been.

The Outer Description;;

Physical Description;; Speck moves with a permanent limp now, but she tries not to let that hold her back. Her form has never been great, and Jesse doesn't like to push her too hard as it could cause her pain. To look at, she's almost got a 'tomboy' look about her. She's got the shortly cropped mane and tail and she almost ambles instead of walks. Her markings are lovely though, and the palomino is somewhat unusual in her. She's not the prettiest mare, but she makes up for it in heart.
Scars;;

• Covers most of her front right leg from the accident

Branding;; n/a[/size]

The Past is the Past;;

Medical History;;

• When she got her leg caught in the fence. Now has regular physio on it.

[/ul]

The Life Story;; Speck was born at the ranch and one of the first horses Jesse ever properly trained. She’s always had a firm place in his heart and the pair is very close. She used to compete as a barrel mare with Jesse’s sister until she had a bad accident on the ranch when she got her leg trapped in a fence and panicked. She now walks with a permanent limp and is mainly used as a pleasure horse. She needs regular exercise though, which Jesse is willing to provide, otherwise she seizes up and her leg grows painful.[/size]
