Breed:
Trained for:
- He is known as Tommi, but I want to rename him Mikey. Not sure why, the name just popped into my head when I looked at him. I often name characters that way: I look at them and the name pops up.
Most of the times I call him Mike, since he seems to prefer that name more.
Theme song:
- Rod Steward - Baby jane
Why? Because it suits him. It's his favorite song when he is riding a competition, it's great for a trot.
Gender:
- Mikey will be male (stallion). I looked at his face for a while, and he just looks like a really proud guy. I don't see many female things about him.
Sexual orientation:
- I want to keep it as realistic as possible, so he is heterosexual. He loves flirting around, but it'll take a while for him to actually fall in love with someone.
Birthdate related:

Breed:
- He is a Quarter Horse. The famous western breed from America. I want to use him to make some western arts and stories.
Trained for:
- Western riding. I love western riding, it's the best way to ride a horse. It's natural and it shows so much freedom, trust and elegance... He'll do great as a western horse, I'm sure he'll enjoy it!
Besides that he can also do dressage, but he prefers western. He wants to stretch his neck, not hold it up.
He is specialized for reining and western pleasure. [read below for more details]

History
- Mikey was born in a small barn, with only his mother around him. He never knew his father, but he heard his father was a western riding champion. That's probably where his talent came from.
When he was almost 3 years old their owner no longer could afford the barn and had to sell it. His mother got sold first, since she was already trained. But it took a few weeks for Mikey to find a new home.
He went to a small family with a teenage girl, who had absolutely no experience with horses. Mikey didn't get the correct food and she didn't know how to train him. He got bored in the stable, and soon also very skinny.
At that point he had 2 options: go away or stay there and starve.
He chose to run away. He never knew how to live in the wild, so he had to ajust himself very quickly to survive. He had to find out what food was dangerous to eat, what animals were safe and what animal might attack him. It was very hard for him and very lonely.
Fate seemed to smile at him when he finally ran into a cat named Desmond. He knew cats were safe to be with. The cat would probably be more afraid of him - a big strong horse - thanMikey would fear him.
"Hey," Mikey said.
Desmond looked up. "Cool!" he yelled, running over to Mikey. Before Mikey realized what was happening Desmond jumped up and curled up on Mikey's back. "I have always wondered what this would be like! To be on the back of a big horse. I've seen humans do it, but never a cat. And here I am! Shall we play cowboy and horse? Or we can ride in the forest. Or go to the beach! No, not the beach, I hate sand and water. And ofcourse..."
"Whoah, calm down!" Mikey said, laughing. "You are an active little fellow."
Desmond laughed. "Yeah, I love making friends, but sometimes I just keep talking. Where are you going? You look tired and like you could use some food. Why don't you come with me? Then you can sleep and eat, and we can have more fun later."
Mikey laughed. Why not go with him? At least he wouldn't be alone anymore.
He decided to come along. Even today they still meet up and have lots of fun
As for the future, he hopes to be a western champion, just like his dad. Though he never met him, he knows his reputation. He wants to meet his father and compete against him, to be even better than him. And of course to know who his father is and what he's like.
Some day he wants to find his true love and have a family, but for now he wants to focus on his western competitions first.
He is looking for someone who wants to sit on his back and help him win his beloved first prize. Once he found a good person he'll cross his own limits to try and win that prize.
