The Appearance Coat Color: Sorrel Splash Stable Color: Light Green Height: Will reach 15.2 HH

The History Basic History: Thanos was found at an auction and brought in by Dr. Carr as a case for her vet students. After his mother passed away due to complications in her health, his upbringing fell to Annabelle Archer. After the girl left her duties as a vet student, to have more time for her coursework and personal horses, he was moved to the other foals of the academy, as he had been weaned, and is now part of the foal handling class.

The Appearance Coat Color: Black Stable Color: Misty Rose Estimated Mature Height: 15.1 HH

The Personality Personality: Vallie's sprinting around the pasture is something unmistakably her, although she tires quickly, and then just lets herself fall to the ground to rest. She's rather comical in her motions, but also has her mother's joy at hearing her own voice, and 'talks' a lot.

The Appearance Coat Color: Grey (Black, will grey out to pure white) Stable Color: Goldenrod Estimated Height: 15.3 HH

The History Pedigree: Can You Catch Em X Favory Modena II
The Personality Personality: Sven is already beginning to show his mean-spirited side. He'll nip and kick out, at his handlers or other horses, although he's too young to do much damage as of yet. Why he's this mean? No one's quite sure, but genetics certainly have something to do with it.
