Show Name: Magician's Stage Fright
Barn Name: Fright
Age: 8
Gender: Stallion
Color:Bay Tobiano
Breed: Oldenburg
Height: 15.3hh
Personality: Fright deserves his name, but its not him who gets scared, its the people around him. Very wary of strangers he will often react with aggression. Jack is the only one for whom he behaves perfectly, although he is slowly improving with other people. To ride he is a dream. Talent flows from every pore, he jumps massive heights easily. If he wasn't so badly behaved on the ground, he would be on a top show jumper's yard by now!
History: Fright was born onto a top stud farm producing some of the best show jumpers in the world. Sold as a yearling for an extortionate price, as Fright realized he was a stallion he became very difficult to handle, and just got worse and worse. His owners refused to geld him though, his bloodlines would mean he had a high stud fee, without even proving himself in the ring. His old owners lack of ability to handle him safely means he has only been shown at a low level, despite the talent to compete with the best. When a handler broke their leg trying to control him, he was finally sold on to a rehabilitation center who thought every horse deserved a chance. The center had links with the drugs rehab center where Jack was, and that is how he met Fright. When Jack left rehab, Fright would only be handled by him, so the center sold Fright to Jack.
Discipline: Show-Jumping (but dabbles in Dressage/XC)
Owner/Rider: Jack Melton
