"When can I play with the yearlings… Ugh you’re so protective of me!"
╚══ ♠ • ♠ • ♠ ══╝
Age:
2 months on Earth
Gender:
Colt
Herd:
The Plains Herd
Nickname:
Everyone calls him Sully
***
Rank:
Foal
Desired Rank:
He wishes to find his own way in the world, and eventually become the Lead Stallion of his own herd somewhere far away. But for now he is content being the son of the deputy mare and the lead stallion, he is secretly extremely proud of his heritage.
***
Appearance:
Sully stands at a very small height, just 11.1 hh and weighs about 300 pounds, although he is growing fast, seemingly being the receiver of his father’s height genes.
This young colt has a smoky black complexion, his coat recreating the beginnings of a storm in the dead of night. At the moment he is almost a kind of stormy grey colour, but day by day his cat turns more into the slightly darker, smoky black hue. He possesses large deep brown eyes which show a certain knowledge and age beyond his years in the young colt. His head supports ungainly ears which he has yet to grow into, and a small tuft of forelock and mane are also just visible. His tail is still short and fluffy for the time being, with the rest of his coat being quite short at the moment.
This colt sports a large white blaze running the length of his small face. It has the tiniest scrap of pink on the edge of his nose too. He is already beginning to possess some of the muscle tone of a wild horse, and is proud that his small hooves and long legs make quick work of the ground beneath him. Just as his ancestors did before.
Personality:
“I know I’m smarter than them though, that’s the hard part about it.”
Independent / Eager / Swift / Knowledgeable / Sincere / Loyal / Stubborn / Cautious / Precocious
Sullivan is an independent young male. He strives for success, and loves both his parents, but ultimately, he is quite excited to make his own path in the world. Despite this, he is determined to value the time that he has within the herd, which will be at least about 1.5 years.
He is very loyal to the herd, and despite his misgivings towards some members, he is willing to accept them as members of his extended family. He is not too worried about this however, because he knows that, if things went terribly wrong, Chex would make sure they never saw the herd again.
He is often gruff, annoyed by some of the over-confident horses *cough cough.. yearlings* in the herd. Not his mother or the other foals though. He loves Ursa to pieces. She is his guide to life in the herd and he would do anything for her. Despite the fact that Chex has sired most of the foals in the herd, he also loves the tall stallion like he was just Sully’s dad only. He feels a special connection to both his parents, and values it well.
Sullivan’s enthusiasm levels change a lot, depending on if he is with other horses or not, and what their overall mood is portraying. But one thing is for sure, he is very stubborn in his ways and is not keen on backing down to other horses. Because of his wisdom that is far more acute compared to most foals in the herd, he tends to get quite set in his ways, and has very strong opinions.
Most would say that he is a precocious and rude young colt, but he does try his hardest to be respectful. Particularly to the mares and of course his mother and father. But to the other foals he is opinionated and sincere with what he says.

Siblings: Well most of the foals in the herd are his half siblings because of Chex. But he doesn’t consider them siblings, only close friends and playmates.

‘Spirit riding free’ came out in 2017 but my favourite character has got to be Esperenza, in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
