Personality: Sparta is a hard horse to handle. He is also a smart horse. Being gentle adds to the reasons he was bought. He is a stubborn horse too and doesn't listen to what his owner wants most the time. But, he is a kind heart-ted horse that tries to please everyone around him. He isn't like other thoroughbreds even if he is sometimes very rude.
History: Sparta was born to a breeding farm of racing horses. But, he didn't want to run on a track like his sire did. He fought the trainers hard until they gave up and just did basic training with the colt. The vet hired to geld him wasn't too nice about it. Sparta wondered around his paddock for days sulking that he had been fixed. He was trained for basic riding until someone came and bought him. He was then trained in English riding events like dressage, cross country, eventing and jumping. He sure loved that.
But, a few months after that he was taken to a show where he spooked from the crowd clapping and everything before his turn in the dressage ring. His rider got off of him and and calmed him. But, during the even he was doing a movement when his leg suddenly snapped in the fetlock. The rider got down again and walked him to the vet stall. He was told to not ride him anymore and sell him. So, he was taken to a sale yard where some one nice bought him and took him home to rehab him until he could be ridden again. It had been Joshua who bought him. So now he is here with strong legs again ready to be a good horse.
