paddock companion
^{White Lions'} Captain Lionheart, "Watson"

history
he was acquired by White Lions' from a rescue centre, where records had shown he was quite badly treated at his previous home, and his rehab was going to be more intense than previously thought. Charlie decided to put his spare time to good use caring for their new GG.

personality
Holmes is a giant show-off but is really quite quiet and measured when he's not out putting his amazing action to good use. He was very hard to control at the rescue centre and he still is at times, but the presence of his paddock companion, Watson, evened him out and he in turn brought the right amount of liveliness to Watson's life, so now spends most of the time trundling around after John or making a mess somewhere. He gets bored very easily and will pace or break things if you don't keep him occupied, and has to be exercised every day on pain of being shouted at by a fussy horse and taking a few days of riding to get him back to being cooperative. When working, he's an absolute perfectionist on top of being flashy, but can be impatient and fidgety if he has to wait around. It takes him no time at all to pick up new concepts and focuses all of his big horsey brain at it, but he's a little rocky at working with handlers he doesn't know; it takes a while for him to settle to you. He's usually not one for treats either but if you have something sweet on you when he's in the mood for it be careful of your pockets.
