The Personality
Personality: Lucifer is a sweet horse, but his large muscular frame and name tend to throw people off a bit. For the most part he is a compliant gelding, with the demeanor of a puppy who just wants to please you in every way possible, but that's typically if he trusts you. He will by no means attempt to throw you into fences or anything horrible, but he will test you to make sure you know what you are doing. Either the person can deal with it themselves, or a firm tap from Marie can get him back on track. He is mostly calm, but does get a bit hot when entering the alley, excited to run the barrels as it is what he loves to do. He tends to dance and occasionally swings his hind quarters if standing for way too long, which sometimes freaks the person out riding him if they don't know him well, although he just needs a nudge and he knows to cut it out. He's an easy keeper, and a pretty carefree horse. Luce also tends to get a bit overprotective of Marie if he feels she is being threatened. The gelding simply pins his ears a bit and will snort and try to position himself in front of her. He loves to go fast and run, but will go slow if you ask him too. Overall, Lucifer is a gentle giant with a heart of gold and good intentions, you just have to know what you're doing with him.

The History
Basic History: Lucifer was born onto the Simmon's ranch. He grew up completely favored by Marie, who spent all her time around him, playing with him and loving on him. After he was broken by Marie's father and trained, he was given as a three year old to a ten year old Marie. Marie had to adjust to him and Lucifer had to adjust to her but the two remembered each other and it wasn't long before they bonded all over again and were working as a team. Lucifer became Marie's very own personal horse, and she rode him for everything, from rodeo events and queenly duties, to trail and pleasure riding. The two were unstoppable and inseparable then and haven't changed at all.
