Summer Spartan

Spartan is Eliza's Black Gelding In The Saturn Academy Series.

Appearance
Spartan is a very beautiful horse. He is 16.2hh tall from ground to withers. He has a midnight black coat that at night shines a deep bluish black. his slightly dished face gives an arabian look to him, despite the fact he is (believed to be) a purebred morgan. his mane is long and incredibly wavy, making have a sort of andalusion look. his tail is similar. he has a neck and head so refined it could only have been made by God himself, with strong sleek legs, and the big but streamline frame of a top show jumper. Spartan's eye are wide, intelligent, and a dark, endless deep brown. he has a dlicate muzzle and skinny, flickering ears.

Personality
Sparta n is an 8-year old morgan gelding who was injured in Eliza’s accident. He's spirited, with a broken trust of humans from to many months of abuse and neglect. Eliza and Spartan have a lot in common; there both emotionally fragile and afraid to be hurt again, but also have a driving and strong will that never backs down from a fight. Spartan and Eliza have a very strong emotional bond and their wins on the show circuit has been a confidence booster for both of them.

Spartan is a very beautiful horse, one of the most gorgeous horses at Saturn Academy. But unlike his good-looks, the gelding is ferociously closed-off. With the exception of Eliza and very few of her closest friends, Spartan doesn’t let anyone near him without taking off their fingers first. Spartan is defensive and fiercely loyal to Eliza. He doesn’t let anyone besides Eliza ride or touch him and often becomes very alarmed and unsettled when people try. This is because Spartan still hasn’t gotten over the accident and those several months of abuse prior to meeting Eliza. When Johanna decided to mix up the Advanced Team’s horses, so that they could become used to riding different horses, Spartan was excused from the exercise when he threw Lindsey off his back because of her use of the whip.

Spartan  is absolutely terrified of whips and Johanna makes a special effort make sure no whips are anywhere near him. But Spartan also have a very loveable personality when he is comfortable or socializing with Eliza. His love for his ride is very strong and he also loves to play a rather odd version of “Chasey” around the paddock with Eliza. His favourite food is apples, and he often gets distracted easily by shiny objects and the rattle of the feed buckets. Spartan is the best show-jumpers at Saturn Academy and has never knocked a rail down at a competition.
