Other? (appearance wise): Jasper is poetry in motion. He's able to make smooth transitions from a petite western pleasure jog to a floating english trot. His comformation allows him to easily collect himself even when lounging and its a rare day when this guy he doesn't turn at least one head by just loping around the ring.

If his moves don't catch your eye, his color sure will. Jasper is a silver grullo with splashes of white; his mane and tail even bear frosting. He bears several dun factors, including shoulder bars and tiger striping on his back legs. As if that weren't enough, he usually makes his entrance by just turning to look at you with his beautiful bald face.

Personality: To most, Jasper is the typical nasty stallion. He'll nip, kick, buck, whatever it takes to get you away from him. He doesn't like you, never will, so just leave him alone. He doesn't like to socialize with even the mares, only whickering when they're in heat. He's almost like a grumpy gelding, in most respects.

Whenever Cricket's in sight, however, he's completely mellow. It's like seeing a new horse. He's not exactly the most social of stallions, but he'll allow you to come closer if (and only if) Cricket's with him. The two have learned each other's buttons and how to get the desired response from the other. He's incredibly smart and knows when he's got an inexperienced handler.

Oh, and uh..word of warning. He hates children.

Brief History: Jasper and Cricket have been together for five years. He was born on the Archer family ranch and has been the girl's baby boy since he wobbled his way over to her for a curious sniff. Cricket's the only person to have ever been on this stud, so it's no wonder they know all each other's buttons. She trained him for everything he was willing to do; in fact, he's recently taken a liking to English, and so they've been working day in and day out. They came to the States per Cricket's desire to train at Vision Springs. Her acceptance letter finally came and they made the (costly) trip from Sydney to their current location.
