Picture:
Show Name: Darkness on the Horizon
Barn Name: Nooks
Age: 13
Gender: Gelding
Color: Liver Chestnut
Breed: Swedish Warmblood
Breed Registry: SWA
Height: 17.3 hands
Personality:
Nooks is actually a sweet thing. He is lazy and enjoys sleeping and eating his days away. He loves being brushed and given attention, but given too much will swat you away like a pesky fly. He is a hit with small children because he is so gentle and is often subjected to being the pony rides horse. Curious by nature, Nooks has found himself in awkward situations before, such as getting caught in a barbed wire fence and stuck in a mud pit. He has a terrible fear of sheep, and will refuse to go anywhere close to one.
History:
Nooks was born in Sweden, bred at the state stud. His talent, though not spotted early was there, and the gelding was soon sent to one of the best riders in the country. He was originally trained as a dressage mount, but after the infinite time jumping over the paddock fences, was retrained in eventing. Nooks was exported at the age of seven, and spent four years on the circuit in the States. Mikael was looking for a mount around about when Nooks was 11, and they soon found each other. The horse cost a hefty amount, but the two a firm partners and it seems that nothing can separate them.
Discipline: Eventing
Owner/Rider: Martin Mikael Harrows
