SURROGATE DOLL
registered/show name: Surrogate Doll
barn name: Doll
age: 15 (5.12)
gender: Mare
colour: Grey
markings: Dapples
height: 16.3hh
breed: Thoroughbred
sire: Recklessness
dam: Dolly
discipline(s): Hunters, Equitation
owned by: Oliver Dalton (10 years)
brief history and personality: Doll was born in Kentucky and was bought early on for Oliver. The mare was purchased as a yearling by the Daltons and was trained by a well known trainer for Hunters and Eq. When Ollie was five years old, the horse was given to him, though he couldn't ride and compete for a few more years. Doll is Oliver's favorite horse having grown up with her at his side. They work well together and Doll's patient and quiet demeanor shine through. The girl knows when her rider is unsteady or young and never misbehaves under those circumstances. Now that Oliver is much older, the mare had adapted and throws a few curve balls at him to make sure he's always paying attention. Doll is Oliver's primary Hunter mount.
dislikes: donkeys, switching leads left to right, the bit
fears: Fire, dogs
habits: always looking around at things, bulges to the outside on bending lines, overjumps liverpools
DARK SHERRY
registered/show name: Dark Sherry
barn name: Sherry
age: 12 (8.14)
gender: Mare
colour: Bay
markings: None
height: 17hh
breed: Belgian Warmblood
sire: Everyone's Rights
dam: Wind Breaker
discipline(s): Hunter, Jumper
owned by: Oliver Dalton (4 years)
brief history and personality: Dark Sherry is an import horse from Belgium and is branded with Belgian Warmblood brand. She was originally trained a jumper but her trainer in Belgium taught the horse to ride as Hunter, giving the mare more appeal to American buyers. The Daltons bought Sherry from the trainer in Belgium when the mare was eight years old along with a gelding from France. Sherry is well trained and listens to directions well as a hunter or jumper, but qualities that are good in a jumper like to become aparent in the hunter ring. She's well meaning most of the time and Oliver likes the mare. She is a little more flighty than some of the boy's other horses.
dislikes: flapping tarps, children screaming, walnuts
fears: thunder and other similar noises
habits: racing at jumps, over jumping oxers, tripping randomly
WORLDS AWAY
registered/show name: Worlds Away
barn name: Ollie
age: 14 years (3.08)
gender: Gelding
colour: Bay
markings: None
height: 16.1hh
breed: Hanoverian
sire: Dante
dam: Tutti
discipline(s): Jumper
owned by: Oliver Dalton (6 years)
brief history and personality: Worlds Away was Oliver's second horse and earned the barn name Ollie since horse and rider were known to march around the estate together, the horse following the leader like a shadow. Another import, Ollie has the Hanoverian brand and was bred in Hannover. As a four year old, the gelding was purchased by an American trainer who wanted to further the jumping career. Worlds Away was actively showing by the time he was bought by the Daltons. He has a certain fondness for children making him an ideal mount for a younger Oliver. The horse has a gentle mouth and tends to chomp on the bit if it's anything harsher than a snaffle. The horse responds best in a D or O ring snaffle bit and a soft hand. The two get along well, though Ollie habitually likes to run his rider over. Worlds Away seems to have some idea as to when he can get away with it. Oliver is working with the horse to break the habit.
dislikes: ditches, slamming gates
fears: bees
habits: speeding up, kicking while being girthed, chomping at the bit, running people over
NIGHTINGALE SONG
registered/show name: Nightingale Song
barn name: Tiny Tim
age: 10 (1.30)
gender: Gelding
colour: Black
markings: Star, 3 socks
height: 17hh
breed: Dutch Warmblood
sire: Timothy
dam: Florence Serenade
discipline(s): Equitation, Jumper
owned by: Oliver Dalton (3 years)
brief history and personality: Tiny Tim is one of the newest editions to Oliver's string. Ironically named, this huge Warmblood is very much a gentle giant. He has a smooth gait and is pretty scopey. However, the gelding likes to be able to see everything around him and gets skittish if there's some great unknown. He's a good mount despite being a bit lazy. Oliver has to ride this horse with a stick or else the horse will just fall behind the leg and slow down. Born and trained in America, Tiny Tim was off to a good start in life. His original owners loved and cared for the foal, but couldn't keep him for very long. He was sent away to live with a trainer on the other side of the continent. While there, Tiny Tim acted like an idiot and was sometimes punished for it when his idiotacy was misbehaving. The horse learned slowly, but once he learned something, he knew it forever. The gelding was then sold for a decent price to the Daltons and is Ollie's primary Eq horse.
dislikes: hot asphalt, fluffy pillows (abominable snowman)
fears: the great big horse-eating monster who likes to hide behind barns and jumps
habits: shy away from weird objects, stop, try and avoid work by acting really slow and lazy
ASHTON CREEK
registered/show name: Ashton Creek
barn name: Asher
age: 11 (8.07)
gender: Gelding
colour: Bay
markings: None
height: 16.2hh
breed: Selle Francais
sire: Wash Away the Tears
dam: Alice in Wonderland
discipline(s): Hunter, Jumper, Eq
owned by: Oliver Dalton (4 years)
brief history and personality: For a warmblood, Asher is very hot. He requires a firm, confident rider and can become uncontrollable at times. He's well meaning and kind of considerate on the ground, but at work, the horse can be a real disaster. However, he is rideable for all the disciplines Ollie competes in. Ashton Creek was born in France and purchased along with another horse in Belgium. More versatile than the other horses, Asher is frequently used in multiple classes. Even after four years, Oliver and Ashton don't get along incredibly well, but Oliver has proved his dominance and the gelding will submit to that. Asher is also very sloppy when eating, drinking, and getting rid of mucus. The horse slurps his water like a dog and insists on rubbing is head all over people, even licking them from time to time. Oliver insists that his horse is more canine and feline than equine.
dislikes: knocking rails, trail riding, dirt getting blown into his eyes
fears: raucus crowds
habits: rubs head on people (personal mobile tissue), slurps water
