Ace’s Companion Animal - Demon
Personality does complete 180 in competitive situations. Laidback and calm at stables, high spirited in competition
Aces Diamond Rio was brought to The Golden Hoof Riding School and Stables with Aggie. Aggie ended up staying on as a barn hand and then promoting up through the ranks to be Siobhan's right hand man. Aces has a permanent stall on the grounds and Aggie still rides him and competes on him, but to earn his keep he is also used as a school horse. Over the years being at TGH, he befriended a doe Boer goat named Demon. Demon travels everywhere with Aces, because without her (especially in competitive situations) he absolutely looses his mind and thus becomes his unusual nickname "Demon's Darkness".
Only the best/most competent riders are able to compete on Aces, and for some this is like a badge of honor. To be recognized as the "best of the best" to be able to ride such a challenge in competition is something some really strive and work for. For some, it is something they fear being assigned to.
In the riding classes, on general hacking rides, etc. Aces is a perfect gentleman. He's calm, collected, patient, and an excellent schooling horse. He's used for 3-day eventing, and therefore has a very good grasp of core groundwork and dressage principles as well as jumping and endurance. Around Aggie, Aces knows better than to misbehave, so he is always on his best behavior if Aggie is within view, regardless of the circumstance. Aggie and Aces are pretty much inseparable. If loose in the pasture, and Aggie is in the vicinity, Aces will be next to him as close as possible (at the fence line, or following around in the pasture) and will get incensed if another horse comes between him and Aggie (but since he won't misbehave around Aggie, he pouts/becomes petulant). Aces also adores Siobhan, and will come running up to her in the field if he sees her hoping to go for a ride. If Aggie and Siobhan are not the one catching, he plays "chase me" games, and challenges you to outsmart him to get him brought in from the pasture.
He much prefers the pasture over a stall, and will even voluntarily stay out in inclement weather to keep his open air and pasture grazing.
Aces is a showman to say the least. He prances, paws, dances, and vocalizes making sure all eyes are on him at all times, and people love to look at him.
Aces will crawl into your pocket to go after a treat, so you have to be careful anytime you are carrying any type of food. Everything is his in his mind - he's very narcissistic.

Individual Group "Quick Glance" Tracker Links:
Please note at the bottom of each individual group tracker, a detailed description of how I gathered the calculated points for each group is with the individual pictures. This is just in case there are any questions to help admins check the points quickly and easily.
Group trackers below are in order of group joins.
Breeding:
By requesting a breeding, you agree to:
All breeding will be arranged by DA note with me first. (Please do not DM me on Discord, or use comments to request them - it is too easy to lose those. Please use notes in DA, so everything can be confirmed and agreed to and we both are on the same verified page.)
All payments are arranged individually, but there is typically a breeding picture by default. (This picture will count towards any XP/Point count needed for art payment. The breeding picture will count towards any cash payment based on number of points provided by the breeding picture.)
I receive a slot per horse used. (1 horse used = 1 slot / 2 horses used = 2 slots - I can use, sell, give away, keep, or give back these slots as I wish.)
All payment agreements must be completed before I will mark the slot as available.
You will provide me the intended mate before the breeding is marked available so I may check for any inbreeding etc. (so the slot does not get wasted by accident.)
I do not allow inbreeding or cross breeding with any of my characters.
