Dazzling Jive

Dazzle is Ty Smith's stallion.

Appearance
Dazzle is a 17.3hh 9-year-old blue roan mustang stallion. He has the general physical features of a mustang, with the slightly more built frame, straight profile and strong legs. He's one of the many power jumpers at Saturn because of his mustang blood, which makes him very broad, tough and steady.

Personality
A beautiful, spirited 9-year-old stallion, Dazzle was born to a high ranking wild mustang stallion in Nevada. His blue roan coat made him stick out in the somewhat desert-like landscape and he was often the target during many round-ups. The stallion is quick-witted and speedy and loves to run, hence why it took almost 2 years to catch him once he matured to a reasonable age, become a very big, fine young stallion. Ty’

s uncle worked for the BLM (Beau of Land Management) and brought Dazzle at an auction when Ty asked for him, having fallen in love with the stallion’s spirit and beauty. Dazzle was 4 at the time and as wild as the sea itself. It took many months for Ty to win the stallion’s affections through the use of many herbal remedies and alternative techniques (e.g. Join-Up and T-Touch) but he eventually succeeded, forging a very strong bond with the blue roan. Dazzle also proved to have a talent for jumping as well, and Ty decided to start entering him in shows to see what would happen.

Dazzle proved to be an exceptional show horse and when Ty was accepted into Saturn, it was no question which horse from his uncle’s stables he would take. Dazzle has a very bold and admirable personality, and sometimes can appear to be a little cocky. He and his stable mate, Avalon get along very well for two powerful stallions. He also seems to have a rather soft spot for Eliza, as shown when he fell asleep in the lower fields, lying down with his big head in Eliza’s lap, while she read a book, leaning against a snoring Spartan’s belly.
