The Personality
Personality: Vic is a complicated character who is very specific. He doesn't like loud noises or sudden things. Kate is the only person he really trusts, and he really doesn't like her brother Sam. He has a problem with other male horses but simply adores mare. He is bold when jumping and can easily tackle an elephant trap out on a cross country course. Put any fence in front of him and he'll jump it. Give him dressage and he'll perform flying changes and piaffes without any trouble. But show him a hoof pick and he'll start shaking in terror.
Caution Around: He has moments of spooking
The History
Basic History: His birth is unknown, but he was raised on a horse farm with over two hundred other animals, and his mother was taken away from him at four months, and the people that raised him put him straight on to adult horse food rather than young horse food, so he didn't get the right nutrition at a very early age. The owners son thought it would be funny to mistreat him by throwing rocks at him and striking him with a hoof pick as well as tying him up by his feet. Victory endured this for five years before being shipped across the world to America. The new owner treated him much better, starting to break him in and give him some much deserved care and attention. But just as he was beginning to settle down and trust people, the young gelding was sent elsewhere. This was where Kate found him, skinny and baring his teeth anyone who came too close. Kate begged her parents to take him in and within a year, she was riding him and discovering his never ending talent.
The Technicalities
Discipline: His main discipline is showjumping, but he can do anything classically based - he's never tried Western.
Owner: Kate Hollins
