History Spencer is still pretty new around Apache- obviously, because he doesn't know a thing about anyone. He was born in the United States- Georgia to be exact. His dad is a policeman, his mother a receptionist at the Apache Valley Hospital. His little sister is only in the 9th grade, but they never really get along. When he was graduating high-school, when he was eighteen, his dad told him that he had gotten a job promotion- that was moving them to Ontario. Spencer thought it was a cool idea, his sister however, did not. She cried for days, which only irritated them all, but eventually she got herself together and they moved. They had to sell their own farm, and now without living the life of a farm boy he seeks work at the farmlands. He's always had horses, but mostly drafts and Clydesdales to help around around the farm. They sold most of their livestock and horses- but Spencer was allowed to keep two of his own horses, his sister half-owner of the youngest one.
Personality Spencer isn't very sharp, but he isn't dumb either. He's pretty intelligent for a guy who spends his life working and studying, but now and then he likes to go out and have some fun. He's from the south, and so he has a very thick southern accent, which is rather appealing to the ladies. He's not UTD with all the gossip and who is what, and therefore he's always making mistakes and acting the wrong way- not that he knows, of course, so he tends to be the butt of every joke. He's not a very big know-it-all, but he plans on living a good life- hence his decision to go to college. He works along the side, and believes that hard work can make anybody wealthy and happy. He's decided to renew himself while he's still new and no one really knows him, and so he tries to be a calm, cool guy. He plays football at the University, but he's really bad at it, and ends up being benched every game, but he doesn't mind.
Appearance Spencer is 6'0 and a little on the lean, lanky side, though he has developed muscles from working on the farm all of his life. He has short dark auburn hair and dark brown eyes, and tan skin. His usual outfit is a cheap button-up shirt and a pair of faded jeans, with scuffed work boots to match. He also wears plaid and regular, plain-colored tees.

Horse Name Stella
Gender Mare
Breed Shire
Date of Birth January 5, 1996
Personality In her younger years, Stella was a fiery mare, always ready to fight and get dirty. But now, after she turned fourteen she started to settle down, and now she's almost lazy. She lives going for morning rides bareback and loves her owner, Spencer, but is wary of all others. She has hardly any interest in new horses and people, and generally doesn't care who rides her. She's a very well trained mare, but she isn't very bright and can seem bored with everything. But she loves to jump, even if she's not good at it due to her size and weight. Stella is a sweet girl, but shows little affection to anybody, except her owner and his family. She's not a mare to push smaller horses around, but if she is provoked she can tear up their hides.
Appearance 18 hh Shire mare, she's homozygous black, therefore non-fading. She has three white socks- one on her fore right, and her back two legs. On her hind left, the sock trails up in an uneven line to her belly, but stops just before crossing onto her flank. Her mane and tail are long and "fluffy", natural for a Shire. The three legs with socks have white hooves, the fore left does not. She has a ton of feathering and very large, thick, and intimidating looking legs. Her eyes are a dark brown, almost the same color as Spencer's. She has a large blaze running from her forehead to her muzzle, and she has pink nostrils, a pink snip, and pink lips.
History Stella was born at the Cannon's old farm, to a young Shire couple who didn't expect to breed. Spencer raised Stella from the time she was born until now, even if she's almost as old as he is, he's never given up on her. Up until she was fourteen, he was the only one that could ride her. They've come a long way together, and they won't separate until death do them part.
Horse Name Warlander (after the breed- his old owners didn't know the difference between breeds)
Gender Stallion (ungelded)
Breed Marwari
Date of Birth September 12, 2007
Personality War is a very obnoxious stallion, always wanting his way. He's aggressive and pushy, especially with mares, and likes to fight. He's mischievous and a prankster and likes to be Houdini, getting out of his stall and into public places just to make a fuss. He's very jealous and often has a bad attitude towards Stella, and tries his best to get between Spencer and Stella. But at shows, he's a perfect angel, hardly ever acts up or is rude to other horses. He absolutely hates other males, even if they're gelded, and tries to be the Alpha male wherever he goes. He loves to be ridden and always gets excited for daily rides and training sessions.
Appearance 16 hands high, he's actually tall for a Marwari. He's a flaxen liver chestnut with slight dapples. His mane and tail are a flawless yellow-blonde, very long and feathery. He has two socks, both on his hind feet. He has white rear hooves and black fore hooves, and a thin blaze that runs down his face and is slightly more to the left. His eyes are a very light brown. His ears, as a classic Marwari, and very curved and when pricked touch each other, leaving only a hole between the tips and his poll. His tail often curves up and out like an Arabian, and he has a slightly dished face.
History War was born to a German couple in Germany, but he has always been a huge handful and they sold him to the Cannons for over three thousand dollars. He is Spencer's show horse that he jumps and does dressage on. He was only a yearling when Spencer got him, and he has trained the stallion himself over the years, with a lot of help from Google and horse magazines.
