“Hi, Darth!” Janie smiled. She thankfully had some carrots saved up, so she reached out a hand with two in it. “I’m so happy he made it here a-okay.”
Darkside's attention was pulled to a new voice, one that he was not entirely familiar with but was more than happy to give his attention to. Especially at the offering of carrots. Reaching forward, he took his time eating, ears at times flicking to a new sound somewhere off in the distance where he couldn't see it. Once the carrots were gone, he gently pushed at her hand, looking for more of that wonderful treat. Was there more?
Finding nothing more on offer, he tilted his head to the side, sticking his tongue out. People found that cute right? He'd done it before and there was always an extra treat from a pocket, and if he did it now he was almost certain that he was going to get extras. He liked extras. All the more for him.
Darkside knew something was up and it had him more than a little bit excited from the moment he was off loaded and brought into a new strange yard. There were so many things to check out and poke, including the young man that was in charge of him for the time being. He moved at a brisk trot, bouncing along and made a right old fuss about entering the yard with new horses to meet.
He was naturally a little bit more fidgety - there was a whole lot of new things and he wanted to know everything and investigate it all at his own pace, but alas he couldn't; he had to stand nice in the cross ties and look about. He whinnied loudly at other horses that he could see, and returned calls to other horses he couldn't.
He moved about as the groom slid off his blanket, feeling the cool air against his warm body. His attention turned to the feeling of a brush on his back and another set of hands on his other side, both curious but also relaxing into the grooming session. His upper lip wiggled as a ticklish spot on his withers was itched, causing the grooms to laugh. He at least stood still after that, letting them groom him until his coat was glossy and his mane was nice and straight. They cleaned out his hooves and oiled them.
He pawed the ground eager to get out and about, but he would have to wait a little bit longer before he was allowed to go out.

Sudden Loud Noises. overall personality • Darkside is a very curious being, which can sometimes lead him into trouble. He's gentle and most of the time more like an oversized dog that forgets his size and strength. It's hard to think he's even a stallion. He's affectionate in general and gets a long with most horses, though geldings will see the mean side of him. Otherwise he's easy going, happy to do as he's told. But he's also goofy and gets himself into unique situations all the time, which is always worth a laugh.

He was retained due to curiosity, being a stunning to look at colt, the owners were curious to see how he would grow and evolve. As it proved, he grew fine and strong with plenty of sense and willingness, taking to his youthful training happily enough. He wasn't treated wrongly, but his own choices led to a handful of spooks.
Now at the age of five Darkside has his whole life ahead of him, he's being sold on to his future owner with the hopes that he will have a full, happy career.
