Welcome to Hickstead, home to both Seven Oak Stables, and Blue Acre - two rival stables. Both offer opportunities for their clients to reach the highest level of excellence. Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

Todd was investigating his space, putting his nose to everything and smelling it. Getting to know what was around him, where the hay net was, where the water was. That he had a neighbor even though he couldn't see them, the smell was there. He churned up some of the bedding, before turning around to spot a human at the gate. His curious nicker was very quiet as he went over, letting himself reach over and bump his nose against the young man's arms.
The smell was somewhat familiar, his ears flickering around on his head for several seconds before they were contently perked forward. He liked people! He poked at the young man gently, making soft noises of curiosity as he made his inspection. Todd pulled on the fabric of the boy's clothes, before resting his head on his shoulder with a snort. A perfect resting post!
Todd was not the least bit phased by the stable, ultimately glad to get off the truck and away from the dark space. He immediately making all sorts of noise as he was led into the barn and put into the cross ties. He just looked about, eyes wide as he called out, spotting other horses not too far from where he was.
His blanket slid off and before he knew it he was being groomed and his mane untangled. He relaxed then, resting a hind foot as the people around him fussed and did their thing. It was a nice feeling really, one that Todd could've easily fallen asleep to, but not so much today given that the stable was all very new and the people were different.
He'd gotten used to the smaller stable he'd been in, known what to expect and when, but now he was here in this new place and he was at the very least curious to meet the people and all the horses he could smell. He offered a little resistance at first to his feet being moved, but he gave him and let his foot come up off the floor.
Once the grooms were happy, they undid the ties and led him to a fresh stall and turned him into it to wait, allowing him to look about and check out all that was in his new box.

He's always looking about and seeking attention from people, and is very much known to pull at people's clothes or steal their hats. Has a stallion complex due to being gelded late in his life, so he's always squaring up other geldings and stallions. It's not him being nasty, just asserting himself when he has nothing to back it up.
the history
owner • CASEY ALEXANDER LLOYD father • Unknown mother • Unknown siblings • Unknown overall history • Todd is one of those lucky foals, his dam rescued from a poor condition property. He was born small and fragile, and there was concern that he would not survive. Yet he over came infection and lived with his dam for the first year at a rescue before being adopted out as a passion project.
He was allowed to grow out and mature until the age of three before he was brought in to train. He proved to be a little hard to train the first twelve months until his owner figured there was something wrong when he didn't react like the other horses to the passing of a loud motorbike. A thorough exam and testing proved him to be entirely deaf in both ears - thought to be a defect due to his early life struggles and formation - and this discovery led to him being gelded afterwards. It didn't change his personality, and with a new training routine, he excelled.
Now at the age of six, due to no fault of his own, he is being sold to find his forever home where he can continue to excel and learn new things with someone who is willing to work with his lack of hearing.
Quirks: - Leans on people and has been known to use people as a scratching post. - Will dance/prance when tied up or made wait.
