Brontide was born big (fully grown he's 15.2 hh). He got his show name because his original owners hoped he'd be as fierce as his size promised, but Brontide grew up gentle and naive. If he has a temper at all, the other horses have not seen hide nor hair of it. Insults roll off his coat like water might; he can often be found smiling in an absentminded sort of way and listening to the complaints of his friends. He has an endless well of patience and never appears to be irritated in any sense of the word. If anything, Brontide is pliable and happy to help. His friends say that he grew up kind because he was big enough that he never had to be concerned for bullies or predators.
Privately, Brontide is a little intimidated by his size. He's taller than most but he's also very big everywhere else; he has thick legs and a barrel chest and an enormous head. He frets about accidentally hurting somebody and so he is an excellent beginner's horse because he is always so very careful. He finds humans exceptionally frightening because they are so small compared to him, and seem so fragile. He has never thrown anyone, though he did once accidentally trod on a young student's foot and broke three of her toes. Ever since then he's gotten better at checking his surroundings and moving more slowly. Brontide likes doing things slowly anyway, so the change doesn't bother him overmuch. There's so much more to see in the world when you're walking instead of running.
