Other? (appearance wise): Ace can often be mistaken as a liver chestnut if it weren't for his black points but this young horse boasts a lovely rich colour. Ace is very fine looking and lacks muscle which is pretty common in youngsters. He has a few strands of white and chestnut like hairs in his mane and tail which gives him his uniqueness. He has a wide range of tack too, which is vivid red too.
Personality: Ace is a bit of a mare to be honest. He doesn't get on with a lot of horses excpet Adagio and mainly mares. He is loyal to Riley as she showed him a new way of life and they created a bond. He throws his head and pins his ears at most people apart from a few people who he sees as different. He doesn't like his girth being tightened initially, but is slowly overcoming this, due to a fast tack-up in the racing industry. He also doesn't like lifting his feet but Riley perseveres because as soon as she mounts him he is like a different horse. Ace has superb paces and a smooth canter, nothing fazes him and he already jumps around 4 foot loosely and can jump 3 foot courses under saddle. There is something about his sweetness and loyalty to Riley that makes him a partner for life in her eyes.
Brief History: Ace was raced as a 3 year old but unfortunately came last in his first race so it was agreed that a change of career was best, he was sold to a dealers yard where he spent around four months, many were interested but unfortunately Ace was a grump, and his attitude put people off and if it wasn't that, then it was the pain after he nipped them when they tightened his girth. The dealer almost gave up hope on him until Riley appeared with her parents, she was looking for a field companion for Adagio since he was kept at home. Originally the idea was for a pony, or a non-ridden companion but Riley caught sight of Mr Grumpy in the corner, who although had his ears back was gazing at her with curiousity. She walked over and rubbed his forehead and it was as if he had accepted her, she was his last hope of a good life and after a few nips when she tightened the girth, he stumbled around the arena unbalanced and exhausted after a few laps of canter she dismounted and nodded, he was perfect.
