The Personality
Personality: Roman is a great horse and loves to jump. If he was a person he'd be a ten year old boy with ADHD, he gets distracted easily and he gets himself in trouble more than needed. The jumping portion of eventing is what keeps him on his toes, the dressage irritates him a little only because if he is being worked on the extreme basics. Roman is very lovable, he is known to nudge if he doesn’t get the attention he wants. He likes to think that he is a stud and hangs around the mares a lot; even though they usually send clear signals that they don’t like him. In reality he is just a big baby that loves attention from anyone he can get it from, whether that is humans or other horses.
Caution Around: Him; he geats pushy when he doesn't get the attention he wants
The History
Basic History: Roman was born to be a trotter and he was doing great, placing 4th and up in most races. It changed when he started to jump fences and so they thought to retire him from the track and introduce him to show jumping, but the heights didn't satsify him. Not having anyone who was trained in cross country riding they decided to sell him. He ended up at a pregistious riding barn and then was assigned to a boy named Tyler Reynolds. The two bonded as Tyler worked with him in cross country, show jumping, and even dressage. He excelled more in the jumping side of things, but didn't do too horrible in the dressage portion of his riding. Tyler decided to move completely over to eventing and with that Tyler's mother and father convinced the owner of the barn to sell Roman to the family and since a lot of money was involved it didn't take much talking to convince the owner.
