Personality/History
Alex is the head stable hand at Saturn Academy. He is well regarded by the riders for his skills with the horses, both riding and in the stable. Eliza and Matt helped Alex deal with his past, which has allowed him to ride again. Nissa treats him poorly, but Roxy tends to follow him around. Alex quit riding before he came to Saturn after Greenwood – his old stables - burned down due to a barn fire. Alex's riding team was training for the nationals when he blew it in one of the trials. Alex's trainer was mad and they got into a fight. It was Alex's job to check and make sure that everything was okay for the night when the barn caught on fire. They didn't get all of the horses out in time and the horses were so badly burnt that they had to put two of them down, and one was Alex’s old horse Runaway. According to Alex, Runaway was the most incredible horse, which he had a special bond with, and that Runaway would have done anything for Alex. After overcoming his past and riding again, Matt convinced his parents to buy a feisty young black colt for Alex to raise and train at Saturn. The colt was named Arion by Alex.
