The Personality
Personality: Ripple seems like an old man while in his stall, grumpy and unsociable, also always complaining. He's a bugger and also quite nippy, which puts off many people until they see him being ridden. He completely transforms in some ways as soon as the saddle hits his back. He can still be nippy, hating to stay still for a long period of time, and if he's mad at you or thinks you've done wrong, he will reach around and bite your toes. But, as soon as it is time to start with the mounted games, he turned into a wee colt all over again. He adores the high speed action of everything, loving the hustle and bustle of the humans and horses alike.
Caution Around: Intermediate to Advanced riders, do not put beginners on him as he will take advantage.
The History
Basic History: Ripple was once the British champion for mounted games, ridden by Under 16's. This was a few years ago now, but he has always been involved with the sport. Used to belong to a Welsh riding stables, he has been all over Europe competing, usually with one rider. Now the girl has grown out of it, and he has retired from the British circuit, and has been bought by the academy to start in America. It is known that he will make an excellent equine for the right rider, but finding that rider shall be the hardest step. After that, it'll be a breeze.
