Name - Arnold
Age -  24 (25?)
Breed - Irish Draught
Height - 16hh
(The above is my guess, if anyone has any info to share, feel free to comment! Except the name, that one I know! :-) )
Colour - Bay
Markings - Star and snip, socks on the fore legs and the right hind. He has got a small scar on his rear end, result of a fire on the ship that brought him from Ireland to Scotland.

Fun fact - Loves to rustle through the pockets in search of treats, which he always finds.

Character - The lovable schoolmaster. Always a pleasure to ride. Even though it will be a slow ride.  You don't want to share a field with him, you'll end up bossed around.
