The Personality
Personality: Abe is a contradiction in himself. He's actually very aware of what is going on around him, and his ground manners are above reproach. Rarely does he run into you, or even threaten to step on your foot. However, in the saddle, that's a different story. He's rather hard to mount, prone to walking away, or even bucking, so make sure to either have someone hold his reins, or keep a tight hand on him. One of the things you will never have to worry about is him getting dirty, as he's slightly vain, and hates getting dirty. His worst habit is his constant chewing at the bit. Trying to catch him in the pasture is an adventure innen of itself, although if you have some sweet potato on hand, it definitely gets easier.
Caution Around: Snakes
The History
Basic History: There's not much remarkable about Abe's history. No tragedies, no world-famous performances. He's your average horse, raised on a slightly rough-and-tumble ranch, but he turned out well enough. He was sold at seven years of age, and after two years at his home, his rider has outgrown him, and thus, he bounced to the auction to find a new place to call home.
