Hey hey hey, looks who's late to the CWHR Halloween party! >8D

So this guy has a few spooky features I tried to incorporate into his design: skeleton-like frame sabino markings, a hint of cobweb-like sabino roan (i.e. not true roan) markings and a pair of red-brown eyes. Oh yeah, and some pumpkin/bat inspired Medieval style tack!

Pick a piece Halloween-related music that you think suits this guy (can be a song, film score or anything spooky!):I couldn't help it Now not that this is incredibly 'spooky' (though, sort of, i mean witches eating and luring vchildren is quite dark) I selected this because , to me, it seems the perfect lullaby for such a spooky guy
Does he prefer to "Trick" his herdmates/stable staff, or is he a "Treat" to work with?He certainly falls into the "trick" category. He's a lovely stallion, plenty sweet and loving in his own right- but he's the embodiment of the trickster. He has a knack for stirring trouble, this one. Between sneaking treats and running amuck with whatever his handler needs- i.e. Halters, brushes, saddle pads- You name it , he'srun off and played many a game of 'catch me if you can'. He loves to knock things over or off of varying heights. He has been known a time or two to fake excitement to draw the herds attention- only to sneak off and befirst in line to have at the grain bucket. He's never malicious- just a barrel of fun that knows no limits.
Write a short story about how he came to live at your stables (50-100 words):
Erebus had always been drawn to the darker things in life. His newest purchase was no different. He'd visited a carnival days prior. on visiting, he saw people dodging from the path of...well something . Curious, Erebus crept closer. Barreling towards him,a plumage of halloweenesque colors in its maw, was Marrow in his half tacked glory.a man chased him, shouting curses. Erebus stepped into the path of the stallion, hands raised. Marrow snorted , dancing playfully before erebus, who after a moment of laughing , was able to grab hold of his halter. It hadn't took much convincing to buy the stud.

Edgar's show and barn names are references to Edgar Allan Poe's haunting poem, "The Bells:"

Hear the tolling of the bells—
Iron bells!
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels!
In the silence of the night,
How we shiver with affright
At the melancholy menace of their tone!
For every sound that floats
From the rust within their throats
Is a groan.

What I find really funny is that Edgar has a huge crush on one of my sweetest mares - Bells on High!

Pick a piece Halloween-related music that you think suits this guy (can be a song, film score or anything spooky!): I thought this Dark Choir Music was appropriate for his medieval-style tack.

This guy's a trickster . . . I've never heard Edgar neigh or whinny, and everything he does is exact and sedate. But if something mysteriously goes missing around the ranch, I will usually find it in his stall.

Write a short story about how he came to live at your stables (50-100 words):
Every year for the costume parade, one of my horses wins a prize. This year, Snowbell took home the blue as a carousel horse. But as we returned to the ranch that evening, the wind rushed past me, and I stopped. A piebald stallion stood in the gate. He wore strange tack - a spooky sort of medieval, complete with ostrich feathers in his gold-accented bridle. He didn't move and neither did I. When we finally approached him, he merely stepped aside, then followed us in.
I've asked around, but no one has claimed him. So I adopted the ghost-horse.

Hey guys, sorry for the near-two month delay!

This one was really tough, both songs were really haunting and fit him so well! Plus both stories were great to read!!! But in the end sapphirespirit's story won me over, especially with the build up leading to Marrow making an appearance. Congratulations!!! <3
