Personality:
Night Circus is an odd horse. He used to be charismatic, full of zest and bursting his work. He is a top class showjumper, jumping 1.60m plus at International Level. He is British bred and British owned, and had a season out last year to stand at stud. They say his progeny will be the best looking (because of his spectacular coat) and the most skilled. Now he prefers his own company. Novik isn't mean or nasty, he just has an aura about him that wares other horses away, his constantly low-hung head and scuffing steps puts out a disinterested vibe. He skulks not just in the shadows, but in broad daylight too - he doesn't care who sees him.
History:
Novik started out in life domesticated. He grew up and was broken in to ride in the traditional manner, and he had a six year long career of showjumping at the highest level, earning the top prizes for his owner and rider. His enigmatic way of going and calm stallion temperament attracted all sorts of people, some of them the wrong people. So when he went away to stand at stud, the night before Novik was due to go back, he was stolen. He was shoved into a tight compartment of an airplane and flown somewhere unknown to him. All the time he was surrounded by men, hitting him with sticks and belts and sometimes their own bare hands. When he reached his destination, he was caged in a corral, hog-tied and beaten again. The brave stallion put up a fight, becoming the monster they were forcing him to be. He bit and kicked and struck out wherever and whenever he could. The day before they released him to die in this strange place, his captors slashed his superficial digital flexor tendons in both of his hind legs, laming him, and opened the gate of his prison cell, chasing him out. That was only yesterday, and Novik is still bleeding.

Welcome to MUSTANG!
Your application is accepted.

He's beautiful! But just wanted to point out that MUSTANG is set in a wild-west time period. Show jumping is a relatively new sport, although I am aware that it was in the Olympics in the early 20th century. So if you're planning to include his show jumping past in your posts, just remember the time period. Thanks!
