Description
It was horrible. One of the worst things Tucker had heard of. He held his head low, unsure of what to do. He sat down on the old couch in the office and rubbed the bridge of his nose. There was a light knock on the door and Tucker straightened up. Haylie shoved the door out of her way, a box too big and too heavy for her to haul in arm.
"Hey Tuck, I found some stuff in the attic from the house. It looks like some of your parents' thi-" Haylie began but stopped quickly when she saw the look Tucker bore.
"Tucker, what's wrong?"
"You might not remember, considering I haven't brought him up in years, but have I ever told you about a buckskin colt my Uncle used to have sired by One Impressice Beau that eventually was sold off?"
"Yes. Briefly. Why?"
"I just got a call about an hour ago from a Rescue Center in North Carolina. They've got him there now and said he is terrible. They might be putting him down."
"What? Why? What kind of bad? Health bad, personality bad?"
"Everything." Tucker groaned leaning back into the cushions. "He's extremely skinny, has pneumonia, and is raging. I hate to let a horse with such potential go."
"Then start the truck and let's go get him." Haylie chided.
"Haylie, if they think it's not worth it, then it's not worth it."
"Call the ASPCA back. Every horse is worth it. I'll tell the others, they might want to tag along." Before Tucker could stop her she was gone. Reluctantly, Tucker picked up the phone and hit re-dial."
------------------------------------------
"See, he's looking good Tucker." Adan Lee smiled as he patted the colt's rump." Creed was round and muscular now. The long weeks behind him had done him well. He was a little more trusting now, all shyness disappearing a little more every day.
"How's training?" Tucker called from a few stalls down.
"He's still on the lunge now, but improving. I say a few more months and he'll be an easy mount.
"Hey, slow down." Danny cut in, passing by with Java on lead.
"We just got him looking like a horse again. We can worry about riding and training him later. Let him rest. Then we'll see what he can do."

Name: --- (Any suggestions? I want something that means or resembles anger, power, or strength but I can't seem to find the right match.)
Barn Name: Creed
Sex: Stallion
Age: 5
Breed: American Quarter Horse
Height: 16.3hh

Bloodline: One Impressive Beau x Unknown
click for his sire's pedigree

Genetics: EE/AA/nCr/nO (HYPP N/N; Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis negative.)
Coat Color: Buckskin Overo (minimal)
Markings: Star, snip FL pastern with Ermine spots, FR stocking with Ermine spots, HL pastern, HR sock, overo markings (left flank, right shoulder, and right hand side of neck.)

Discipline: All around Western - Reining, Pleasure, Barrels, Trail, Showmanship, Gymkhana; English Pleasure
Personality: Creed can tend to be a hot one. He has been ever since his arrival at the ranch, but he has calmed down tons. Alongside his rage, he is one of the most gentle the staff has come across. That comes from his sire, but his past has intermingled with his calm disposition. He needs a gentle hand that can take his controlling ways. Since Creed comes from good bloodlines on his sire's side, he is steady under saddle, though not mountable yet. With a little more firm training and time, he should be as good as new.

Stable: Winchester Ranch
Owner: Pretty much equal ownership amongst staff but Tucker claims him and is often fighting with the girls over him.
For stud/lease: Open to Realistic Pure Quarter Horses, Paint horses, and Thoroughbreds only.
Offspring: n/a
