MIND,

[/size][/font]

Armado is a proud, confident, pushy stallion. He likes getting his way, and when he doesn't you will hear all about it! He is a huge flirt with the ladies, and his strong physique and deep, dark sparkling eyes draw the ladies like moths to a flame. And he knows how to work it! He will fight his hardest to protect what he want and what he loves. And though he is pushy and arrogant, once you get underneath that pushy outer surface he can be a real softy.

SOUL.

Armado was born wild and free on the Island. His scars on his back tell his proudest moment when he was just a 2 year old and a cougar attacked his mother. (Armado hung around the herd to bother his step father.) He charged right at the large male lion, rearing and screaming at it. He whirled and whipped around as the lion tried to get on top of his back to get at Arnados throat. But Armado kept up the fight, and reared onto his back, crushing the lion. His mother was so proud, and the young females of his mothers herd so impressed that they stayed with him instead of his step father. But Armado was too young to actually be able to defend his herd from other stallions. And so he lost his girls, and his mother went to another stallion. And so Armado has branched out on his own to start his own herd and claim his own lands and begin his Legacy!

A couple of things I noticed - 17hh is incredibly tall for a TB/Arab cross. 17hh is tall for a TB, and Arabs average 14.1-15.1hh, maybe rarely a little taller. In addition, 1500 is quite heavy. A heavily muscled nearly 17hh stock type halter horse would be maybe 1300 pounds, so a lighter bodied Arab/TB would have to have some draft thrown in to be that large. Also, not sure what you mean by "boot" as a marking. Did you perhaps mean sock? Or half-stocking?

If you have a picture selected already I'll be happy to look at it and give you a more accurate size and marking name. (:

Lol. I am not good at estimating wieghts on horses. Since I have never owned one, I am not sure what is expected.

Here is the Base I am using for his image:

I am using it from DeviantArt and am in the middle of a manip, so I haven't yet had the chance to give due credit, but I don't intend to use any images until I have them approved.

As for the "boot" I guess you could call in a sock. I'll change it.

Thanks!

(Excited to start RPing him!)

If you're talking about his right front, either looks like it is just part of his coloration (not a white marking) or perhaps a sock. It's not incredibly crisp there as a marking, but you could probably whiten it up some and it would pass as one on a manip. (:

As for his size, he looks mostly Arabian and not overly tall, so 15/15.1hh would probably be most accurate. I'd say right around 1000 pounds as well.

Thanks Issa! I'll change it! And I'll brighten it up in the manip.

Accepted!
