The Personality
Personality:
Like his name means (the greatest), Max is quite a proud young guy. He definitely likes to flaunt himself off, especially when in the show ring and gives jumping a good effort. He absolutely hates it when he misses a jump however and often, when he is discouraged, the horse gives up. When this happens, he throws bucks and becomes nearly impossible to work with. After riding with him for nearly a year, Cello has gotten used to his little tantrums. He can be a little nutcase with bad habits, but with someone confident and some he trusts riding him, Max is an extremely talented horse.
Caution Around: Can be aggressive toward other more dominant males. Flower boxes spook him at times as do large, new, loud and or neon things. He is young after all and doesn't know much quite yet.
The History
Basic History:
Coming from a highly ranked and competitive Warmblood breeding facility, Max quickly was thrust into the jumping world. He trained with amazing trainers and was ridden by world champions. He was thought to have a lot of potential and meant to bring the barn a lot of money when he was sold. Wanting a good horse for his son since he was one of the few people that could afford it, Mr. Savoy caught sight of the horse during his time in Belgium on a business trip. He immediately asked how much the animal would cost. Since the horse had a high level of potential, Mr. Savoy kept his eye on the horse as Max grew up and finally decided to buy him for his son’s sixteenth birthday. Immediately, Cello was amused and proud of his “Maximo”. After working with him for weeks with a highly regarded trainer, Max’s potential really started to show. Cello grew close to the animal and had to bring him with him to BRRA when he came. Here, Max resides, quite happily being a champion or a butt; and of course, making Cello crack up whenever he can.
