Basics
Name: Cactus Jack
YOB: Y06
Gender: Stallion
Color: Bay
Height: 16hh
Pedigree: Jovial (CR) x Little Runaway (CR)

Personality: - "Jack" has settled into the stud life rather well, he's gained weight and enjoyed leisurely strolls around his paddock and greeting the occasional visitor. He likes to have his tongue scratched is a pretty quiet and laid back stallion until he sees a prospective mare being unloaded from a strange trailer by the breeding shed. He still gets tacked up and ridden around a small cow track from time to time, nothing more than a gallop but he's pretty easily pleased.

Basics
Name: Cactus Grinder
YOB: Y11
Gender: Stallion
Color: Black
Height: 16.2hh
Pedigree: Cactus Jack x Sassy Sashay (CR)

Personality: - "Thorn" is as prickly as his name implies. Where his sire is laid back and carefree, Thorn is difficult and has a pretty bad attitude most days. He's a cribber, a pacer and just a troublemaker overall. Not smart enough to unlock gates like Bushwhacker, he instead likes to lean heavily on doors to strain the latches until they bend or break. One word that best describes him is unapproachable, he'll pin his ears and toss his head and isn't much of a people pleaser, he's just here for himself and only aims to please himself. If there's something in it for him he might play nice but bring the stud chain just in case.

Basics
Name: Dixie Queen
YOB: Y09
Gender: Mare
Color: Dark Bay
Height: 15.3hh
Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation

Personality: - "Dixie" is as sweet as Southern ice tea. She was always a very honest and hard working runner when she was still racing. She's never in much of a hurry for anything as her race record showed and when called from the pasture she always comes, but at her own pace, which is usually a leisurely walk. Her calm and relaxed nature seems to rub off on her foals. Overall she's just a good natured animal and easy to get along with, even when she is in season she isn't mareish by any means.

Name: Black Bonnie
YOB: Y09
Gender: Mare
Color: Dark Bay
Height: 16hh
Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation

Personality: - "Bonnie" was a purchase years ago to aid in getting GCT off and running. Bought with two other fillies Black Bonnie was soon found to have an undesirable temperament so breeding plans were put on hold for a time. She is the stable's rough and tumble girl, Bonnie is no delicate flower and will put even a stallion in his place, she has absolutely no fear. It was this bold and adventurous spirit that served her well on the track even if she never won, she certainly had the makings of an eventual winner once she got her preferences figured out. But it was simply not to be. Today she still rules the roost and is the guardian of the foaling paddock where any disorderly colts and fillies will be swiftly corrected. GCT's mannerly offspring have this tough as nails mare to thank for that.

Basics
Name: Thorny Rose
YOB: Y09
Gender: Mare
Color: Gray
Height: 16.1hh
Pedigree: Foundation x Foundation

Personality: -
"Rose" much like Dixie Queen and Black Bonnie was a purchase by GCT to first get a foot in the door of the racing industry once it was clear they wanted to breed Cactus Jack. Her oily black mane and tail has faded to a vibrant snow white these days and this old mare's heart remains pure as the day it was when she stepped off the trailer from her long journey north from Louisiana. She wouldn't hurt a fly, she's obedient and just wants to hang out with her herd. If stalled she likes to whinny to passing horses and every baby she has ever had was raised with a gentle yet firm constitution with no room for shenanigans.

Same comment as with the racehorses on being short a furlong (Dixie Queen), but again, you can keep it that way if you want to! It just limits your breeding options.
