The Gremlin

Registered Name: The Gremlin (JPN)
Nickname: Grimlin, the grim
Gender: Colt
Age: 4 years
Colour: Grey (Black base) 1 sock, 2 coronets
Genetics: Ee/aa/Gg
Height: 17hh
Breeder: decors
Purchased from: sealle
Temperament:
    " If Hannibal had been reborn as a horse you found him. Developing a taste for his biped minions he lords over you and watches you like dinner at once. Stay away from his teeth when possible. The only reason he is still an entire is the phenomenal speed he has exhibited in early training. This thing is a missile among paper planes."

Sale History: *sealle purchased him from =decors, was then bought via public auction by ballenclieff

Jockey: Willa McKellar




Conformation:
The Gremlin has always been incredibly well developed for his age. At two, he looked more like a three year old, and as a three he's a monster. He is very tightly built, no excess in his limbs. He is taught and compact, although has the beautiful long lines of a distance runner. He is smooth and fluid, which is most telltale in his beautiful walk. 

4yo


Running style: 
The Gremlin has a different type of speed. He runs like a cheetah across the ground, very low and clawing, charged up like a gun. He appears to have some flexibility in his bon structure that enables him to glide like water over ground. He has a smooth seat, but is so unpredictable in his nature that he can fly off at any moment. He attacks other horses, will throw his rider for no reason, all because he can, and wants to. He is a fucking devil horse. He's also got the speed to take the world by storm. But there ain't no champion in Gremlin yet. He is a liability as much as he could be a success. 

Deep closer. Most comfortable running at the back of the pack, then kicks in for a fabulous turn of foot in the final stretch.

Handling;
If you want to draw Gremlin please be aware that almost always Gremlin requires two handlers at a time, though very occasionally he can be handled alone by Rob (whose reference I will get up asap). The only time really he is without a handler is during training, but there is usually always a spotter for travelling to/from and watching during training. 


Other Notes; 

(Obviously if you've already drawn him with one handler or not these that's totally fine it's not the end of the world)
