PATIENT NICKELS
HEY THERE! my name is cara and i'm too many years old.
i'm a wiminz and i've been roleplaying for a zillion years.
but enough about me, here's my character. =]
show name: Patient Nickels
barn name: Nic
age: 12/07/2005
gender: gelding
colour: Palamino sabino
markings: Sabino markings: almost bald face, extra long white on legs
height: 16.3
breed: Thoroughbred
sire and dam: Sire: Tough Love & dam: Honest Passion
siblings: none
owned by: Naomi Clarke
brief history: While Nic was bred for his remarkable colouring, with hopes that he would be as great on the track as his sire, and dam before she became a broodmare, but after doing badly on his first two races, he was quickly sold off as a waste of space.
He was quickly piked up as a jumping prospect, which and he took to that like a fish to water, and after having the youngster gelded his owner quickly changed his training from just jumping to eventing - though the gelding seemed to despise the dressage arena - and they began competing around the UK.
Naomi saw him at a show and decided that the young gelding was going to join her string of horses, and with this idea in mind, she went to talk to his owners. It took some fair negotiating, but Naomi left the show with all her ribbons and an extra horse in her truck.
likes: Jumping, rolling after it's been raining, his space, belgium biscuits, being groomed
dislikes: dressage, being cooped up in his stall, soggy hay, being ignored, clippers, farrier
strengths: jumping, making split second decisions
weaknesses: dressage, loading onto a trailer
fears: Claustrophobic - which could be why he never did well as a racer. Fireworks. Cellphones going off around him - so please put your phone on vibrate when you come to the stable.
habits: Searches his feed bin to find his favourite bits first
overall personality: Nic is anything but a push button pony. There's the possibility that he was proud cut because he acts like a stallion when he's around mare's who are in season, so he needs to be handled by people who know what they are doing around strong horses.
When left cooped up too long, or even after a ride to a show, he can act extremely nervous and jigging sideways, though Naomi knows that this is just an act, and she can quickly calm him down. He lives for the show ring and knows exactly what to do to get the judges to look past his unusual colouring.
While he hasn't been known to hurt smaller animals, he will gleefully chase any dogs, or rabbits, that get into his pasture.
He likes his space, and will give anyone who is standing too close without his consent a sharp nip to remind them to remove themselves from his bubble (big horse, big bubble). When he's in a good mood though, and he's happy with everyone around him, Nic is a wonderful horse to be around.[/ul][/size][/ul]
