personality: Acanto is a spirited stallion who loves to show off. He's a bit pushy and most of the grooms hate being told to get him because he has a mean streak. He enjoys charging people and causing trouble and won't think twice about aiming a kick at a human or another horse. In the ring he's a nightmare for most riders, bolting,bucking,rearing, going after other horses, refusing to listen. But for Beth he's a dream. Because of the bond they share he's like a giant dog with her. When everyone else is ready to take a wip to him, Beth is able to walk right up to him and go for a ride. No halter, no rope, just her and her horse and Acanto enjoys that. He trusts her and she trusts him. They're two of a kind really.
history: Acanto was bred especially for Beth. His dam was Beth's mother's favorite mare, and his sire was her father's best stallion. From the first week he was born, Acanto was with Beth. She bottle fed him, gentled him, halter trained him, taught him to lead, broke him, everything. For the first 3 years of his life the only human contact he had was Beth, accept for the handlers who took care of him while he was being shipped to America. Once he was broke and ready to start showing Beth entered him in every english class she could. She eventually figured out he would be best in jumping,dressage,cross country, and three day eventing so she concentrated all her attention on getting him to the best he could be in those events. It wasn't long till she was positive he could take her all the way to the Grand Prix and she got herself and Acanto shipped to a riding academy where they began their serious training.
