TAUNTING !? - !? PASSION
THE !? STEED
show name • Taunting Passion
barn name • Tau
age • four
gender • gelding (can display stallion tendencies)
height • 15.3 hands (without shoes)
breed • Friesian Sporthorse
colouring • Black Tobiano
personality • Tau is cautious and uncertain. He doesn't trust anyone easily and would much rather keep to himself than allow himself to trust humans, not anymore.
Since Demeter has started working with him, Tau has started to come out of his shell and is beginning to show his true colours when she is with him, but quickly clams up when he sees other people.
history • Tau's life started perfectly; he was born at a sporthorse stud farm, his dam a maiden mare with perfect Arabian bloodlines. His sire, a handsome Friesian stallion with beautiful shape and form. With the foal, the breeders got just what they wanted, a mixture of his parents' perfect temperaments and his dam's stunning colouring.
Training started from day one for young Tau, and even though it started early, everything was done carefully and with enough time so that the colt was able to take each thing in before something new was introduced.
He was sold off before he was trained under the saddle, and that's when everything went wrong. The young colt was purchased by a man who ran a busy competition yard, and all of the horses were treated like machines. They were tacked up, ridden, untacked, and put back into their stalls. There was no time for taking things slowly, the horses there either adjusted to how things worked or the crumpled under the pressure.
Tau didn't do either. Instead, he fought back. This didn't work out well for either horse or humans and finally Tau's spirit was broken and he finally gave in. But what was the use of a horse with a broken spirit. He was then sent to one auction after another. In the slaughter pen was where Demeter found him, along with a handful of other horses and ponies that she knew she could help.
