HANDSOME LOON

PASSIONATE CLASS X HOF THE TRUE NUT
|
Personality: Contrary to his name, Loon is actually a rather aloof and level-headed young horse. He's not a pet in any way, shape, or form, and in general would prefer to be left alone by humans when he's not working. He could be turned out with other colts, but he doesn't seem to actually enjoy their company so it's more practical to keep him in a paddock with a pony instead. At least that way nobody gets an unwanted kick after too much pestering. He's happy just standing ten feet away from the pony, both of them mostly ignoring each other but staying in company. Loon isn't the biggest fan of people, but that doesn't mean he's hard to work with. He doesn't run from you when you go out to catch him, but he also will never be the type to come at a whistle. He's good to work with otherwise, very polite and intelligent. He loves to work, and is at his best when you give him a job to think about.
