Lucky is a 12 year old saddlebred who is the dumbest horse you can imagine. he has gotten scared of the food he was eating 2 minutes into the meal because there was medicated powder mixed in it

Entry #1
Russell the 24 year old Paint Pony gelding. He's only 11-12hh, but thinks he's an 18hh stallion

Entry #2
Edison the Mustang, I'm not sure how old he is.
I haven't worked with him a whole bunch as my friend just got him, but he's genuinely one of the sweetest horses I've ever met. His favorite thing to do is gallop around his pasture with his best friend.
