The Inner Description;;

Personality;; Quake has been deemed mentally unstable by many different people. Angelo stands by the fact that he's just misunderstood. This gelding has been through a lot in his short eight years, and it's sent him more than a little crazy. He's anti-social, unless it comes to Angelo and the dogs though even then he has his off days. He doesn't like to be crowded and gets very nervous around strangers. To deal with this, he lashes out. Angelo does not let anyone new near him, and he has to be put under aesthetic to have a check up from the vet or a visit from the farrier. When he's in a good mood, he's very cuddly toward Angelo. He likes to be fussed and groomed, though he won't go outside. He remains in his field all year round, which is good because Angelo can keep him with the cattle.

To ride, he's actually very good. He wants to please Angelo and enjoys being ridden. He just hates having other people around. He has been slowly getting used to it though, and Angelo is hoping to soon be able compete on him. He does like to throw in a buck and rear from time to time, and can grow very stubborn and not want to be ordered around. He does get over himself eventually. The horse has not long reached his top fitness level, Angelo has been working hard with him.

The Outer Description;;

Physical Description;; Quake is a handsome creature. He's almost regal. His black coat is very dense, Angelo often has to strip his coat in the summer because he doesn't lose it properly. He holds himself with a superior air, and struts rather than walks. He's a truly beautiful creature, though it wasn't always the case. He has a small white star on his forehead, but that's his only marking. He's tall, and holds himself in a way that makes him seem only larger. He's a very well muscled brute, though also fairly defined. Especially his legs.
Scars;;

• From whippings in a previous home all over him

Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm

The Past is the Past;;

Medical History;;

• Has had a lot of sores and whip lashes cleaned and stitched
  
• Had to have a lot done to his teeth, though this was before Angelo had him
  
• Treated for burns around his ears - It's surprising that he isn't head shy

[/ul]

The Life Story;; Quake has been with Angelo for a little over three years, and he has nursed him back to full health. Before being with Angelo, Quake was put through all kinds of hell. He was beaten regularly, over worked and underfed. It was bound to make a horse go a little crazy. Since then, he's injured a few people that have gotten too close, including Angelo himself. He's settled down a lot now though, after a year of intensive training and hand contact. Angelo is now hoping to introduce him to a few other people, but it will be a long, hard process. He's sure he can do it though. He wants to prove to the people who want Quake put down that he's perfectly fine where he is.[/size]
