He's hot and cold, yes and then no, all way round pain the butt to anyone that has to deal with in in general. He'll be sweet one moment doing exactly as he's asked and then throw a tantrum ten paces later - pig-rooting, bucking and over all becoming a bronco at the worst possible time. But when he's interested and engaged, Bovi is a very nice smooth horse to ride. He challenges everyone, even when he's in his stall, but beware to make sure all his latches are secure because he will get out and he will cause chaos. the history owner • --- father • Unknown mother • Unknown siblings • Unknown overall history • Bovi was bred and born under the hot Arizona sun on a ranch that quested for superior western horses to sell. He was let roam with his dam and dozens of other foals for two years, brought in to be gelded a little too late and grew distrustful of humans from the get go. He and a handful of other horses were rounded up when they turned three for training, and was sold with other geldings that didn't quite make the cut for the ranch's purposes to a buyer in Texas. Bovi proved his cattle sense fairly on in his training as he excelled, every task met head on and ironed out fairly quickly, and pushed aside that distrust of people once he was under saddle. By age 5, he was going to western classes where he had decent luck - having a 50/50 win and lose streak. Never enough to be a champion, but nothing to sneeze at. He got low with the cattle in the cutting class, and he was steady and fast in the breakaway. Eventually he was risen to rodeos where he chased bulls back into the chutes and helped the riders off when the time came. He was good, he was solid, he did his work well right through to age 7. The accident came shortly after his 7th birthday when a large overly aggressive bull refused to cooperate on the ranch. Bovi with so little fear of cattle did exactly as he would've done, but his rider confused him with other aids to retreat, causing the gelding to stumble and lose his sure footing. The bull pushed and shoved the gelding into a barb wire and plain wired fence. The force of a near one tonne beast unseated Bovi's rider and the horse's instincts to flee kicked in far too late once his rider became absent. It took five riders to corral the bull away from the trapped horse. Bovi's injuries looked bad with the wire around his legs as he tried to disentangle himself. It was a long walk back to the stalls and an even longer wait for the vet to come out, but thankfully he only needed a handful of superficial stitches and rest. Bovi was kept on rest for almost three months but by then he'd started his bad habits. He began to destroy objects out of boredom in his stall, ripping up blankets, the gates and posts around him, and finally enough watching taught him to get out. After four months, the ranch owners decided to sell him. He was later imported to England after giving hell to the quarantine staff. From there it was a yo-yo affect for the gelding, changing hands more often than he could stay when people found he was no simple plodder or beginners horse. A young man bought him for western riding and whilst Bovi was at home, the young man was interested in cutting and the moment Bovi saw the cow he disobeyed all direction from his rider, eventually throwing him and running mad around the arena. After that and more hands, more faces, more trailers, Bovi still hasn't had a forever home that would like a challenge... He's out of work and is on the chunky side of things for now as he stays in the sale yards waiting. the role player alias • BlackJack, Jac age • Mid 20s other characters • So many... too many... |
