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

The Inner Description;;
Personality;; Nooks is actually a sweet thing. He is lazy and enjoys sleeping and eating his days away. He loves being brushed and given attention, but given too much will swat you away like a pesky fly. He is a hit with small children because he is so gentle and is often subjected to being the pony rides horse. Curious by nature, Nooks has found himself in awkward situations before, such as getting caught in a barbed wire fence and stuck in a mud pit. He has a terrible fear of sheep, and will refuse to go anywhere close to one.
To Martin he is the horse that is always there to escape to. There are just things about Nooks that make a constant comfort for anything. There is so much about this horse that makes him lovable, that it's hard to resist his charms.

The Outer Description;;
Physical Description;; Nooks is a large horse and has a presence that make people notice him. His elevation is something that has to be forced from him almost as he is such a lazy horse. When he does bring it out he's pretty amazing to watch. His coat shines with health, and despite being 14 years is in the prime years because he has been so well taken care of. He isn't a dark liver chestnut, but rather a lighter, almost bronze colour.
Scars;; N/A
Branding;; State stud brand on his left flank
Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away
Wide open spaces far away
The Past is the Past;;
Medical History;; Colicked several times, but it's always a mild case.
The Life Story;; Nooks was born in Sweden, bred at the state stud. His talent, though not spotted early was there, and the gelding was soon sent to one of the best riders in the country. He was originally trained as a dressage mount, but after the infinite time jumping over the paddock fences, was retrained in eventing. Nooks was exported at the age of seven, and spent four years on the circuit in the States. Mikael was looking for a mount around about when Nooks was 11, and they soon found each other. The horse cost a hefty amount, but the two a firm partners and it seems that nothing can separate them.
