THE GREAT DETECTIVE
Registered Name>> The Great Detective
Barn Name>> Arthur
Age>> 10
Sex>> Gelding
Breed>> Selle Français
Breed Registry>> ANSF
Coat Colour>> Dark bay
Stable Colour>> 41a738
Height>> 17.1HH
Personality>> Arthur definitely lives up to his registered name. This big, goofy gelding is relentless in figuring out things and wants desperately to know everything that's going on. Perpetually nosy, he'll almost scream if ignored by anyone. He's deeply attached to Nevaeh already, and always has to be touching her when she's with him. His nose buried in her hair, mouthing at her t-shirt, hooking his head over her shoulder in a horsey cuddle. He loves to be scratched between his ears, and will accept the action from any passing person. Also, make sure to triple, padlock and key his stall because otherwise he will get out. Nevaeh learned that quickly when he was stood in the driveway of the stables when she and her adoptive mother were coming to feed him. He also likes to hold his lead rope too while being led, giving the illusion he's walking himself. He's always amusing Nevaeh, bringing out a true smile whenever she's with him.
To ride, he's an absolute angel for flat work and while he loves to jump, he will challenge a rider. Nevaeh is having fun learning from him and with him. They've both taken on cross country as a new venture, which is a learning curve for even Arthur who had only dabbled in it briefly with his past owner.
Caution Around>> Buckets, he will go out of his way to break them.
Basic History>> Arthur was found by Kathy a few months into her search for a horse for Nevaeh. The gelding caught her eye while visiting a barn to view another horse. Being ridden by a girl her adoptive daughter's age, she asked the man showing her around about him. At 17.1 hands, he was a big horse, but Kathy was impressed how careful he was being with the girl and how gentle he was, even when playing around. When it was revealed he was also for sale, she didn't even bother looking at the horse she'd originally intended to view and left that day with the handsome Selle Français gelding. He was born and raised in the barn he was bought from, a natural flair for jumping evident from a young age. While they enjoyed his fun personality, it was time for him to move on and make another family happy.
