To win this Napa, tell me a story about your first encounter with it, and give it a short personality.

Owner: razzberry
Show Name: The Night Chronicles
Barn Name: Keilir
Gender: Stallion
Coat Color: Sooty Buckskin Tobiano
Gene: Stysty/EE/AA/Cr/Toto
Height: 18hh
Personality: Keilir is a very passive aggressive Napablood, never has he been one to be openly aggressive with another, especially his loved ones, so his passive aggressive nature is like a defence mechanism to get what he wants while appearing to want to please others, and he's more than mastered it. This stallion possesses an openness that is seen through the thoughtful and wise insight he gladly offers others as well as the intellectual creativity and curiosity this sooty equine was born with. Keilir is a very easy-going horse who lives without undue worry or concern and who is quite relaxed and rather informal in most cases. Although while he is easy going, this also causes him to be negligent and careless in some situations, a flaw that he has become more aware of then he realized.
Halter Color: Black
Story: It hadn't taken very long to drive the long road from my own stable to the one I was visiting to meet a couple horses that I would potentially buy. I was looking more specifically for horses with great potential to succeed and thrive in the Jump Offs, though I hadn't been put off with the idea of starting fresh with a horse and training them from the ground up to shape them into successful jumpers. When I had arrived at the barn, a particular horse out in one of the paddocks bordering the dirt road that led up to the barn caught my eye. It's coat was a gorgeous sooty buckskin with white tobiano markings etched along it's body. Absolutely stunning. Even from a distance I could tell that the Warmblood was a big one, it's long legs were quite muscular and lean and it's neck was thick with corded muscle. I parked my truck near the barn and was met with the smiling face of the owner, offering me a warm welcome and a tour of the barn to meet some of the horses. Excitedly I agreed and he led me through the large barn doors. Within the first twenty minutes I had met three beautiful Warmbloods whom the owner had described as exactly what I was looking for. All three of them were geldings since I preferred to work with geldings and mares above stallions for the most part, and they all had jumping experience , yet for some reason I wasn't completely sold on the idea of leaving with one of the three I had met. So I asked the question that had been in the back of my mind since I had pulled into the lot; "what about the sooty buckskin warmblood out in the paddock?". At first the owner had a quizzical look on his face but then he seemed to grasp what I was asking. "Oh, you must be talking about Keilir. He's a stunner, that much is true, and a superb jumper at that. Though he is a stallion not a gelding, and can be a little hard to predict" he explained and offered to take me to meet him. The walk towards the paddock didn't take long either and before I knew it we were at the fence and the big sooty buckskin stallion was ambling towards us. As he approached I became aware of just how large he really was, and it somewhat shocked me. Keilir walked up towards the fence, thrusting his velvety muzzle towards me to get a good sniff. A second later his lips were playing with the pocket of my sweater, shaking it until the contents tumbled to the ground. "Ah, yes. I should add that he is a avid treat sniffer and has the nose of a hound dog" the owner chuckled and gave the stallion's thick neck a hearty pat. Laughing, I bent down and picked up the oatmeal cookie and held it out to Keilir who snatched it up and all but inhaled the treat. "Despite him being a stallion, I think this could be interesting. I'll take him" I decided, watching the man's smile widen before he held out his hand for a dealing shake.

Owner: boomerandhades
Show Name: jail breaking news
Barn Name: outlaw
Gender: stallion
Coat Color: Sooty Buckskin Tobiano
Gene: Stysty/EE/AA/Cr/Toto
Height: 18hh
Personality: It's hard to describe outlaw, but at the very least you'll find out he's selfless and sociable. Of course he's also capable, respectful and planful, but these are in a way balance by being cruel as well.
His selflessness though, this is what he's most well-liked for. There are many times when He is hard to handle and has some meltdowns.
Halter Color: green camo
Story: I saw the trailer. It looked like it was shaking. I head a blood curtailing whinnie. I was so happy when he came out of the trailer. He jumped out of the trailer and looked around and whinnied. I slowly walked to him and let him smell me. As he smelled me he raised his head super high and did what I call a death scream. His personality was so sour but then I saw a sweet spark In his eyes. So I knew I would call him outlaw. I touched his head and he sparked and reared then he calmed down knowing I wouldn't hurt him. I touched him with a soft hand and he calmed down. I pulled my hand away slowly and he bit me,softly but enough to stun me. I led him to the stall and Fed the other horses.My mouth dropped with disbelief as He walked in circles. I thought he was the most beautiful stallion I have ever seen.

Owner: BlueThrush
Show Name: Phantom Image
Barn Name: Carmon
Gender: Mare
Coat Color: Sooty Buckskin Tobiano
Gene: Stysty/EE/AA/Cr/Toto
Height: 18hh
Personality: Carmon is a massive mare who originally had the personality of a rabid mountain lion she calmed down over time resulting in a tough as nails but focused show horse who looks down on her competition with a look that could burn through steel. She is stubborn, bold, and dominant but proves to work well with her rider.
Halter Color: Dark leather with silver buckles
Story:
Thud Thud Thud was the sound that radiated through the air like thunder as the massive mare pumped her legs pushing herself forward like a bullet. Her sweat-soaked coat glistened like a penny in the evening sunlight her breathing was ragged as she continued to shoot around the round pen. I chewed my lip as I watched her race around the round pen nostrils flared and mouth practically foaming with saliva. The monstrous mare was the newest purchase of the stable 18 hands of unbroken aggression. By age 4 most horses were broken however for obvious reasons this ginormous beast wasn't. From the moment the truck pulled in she had done nothing but try to destroy everything in her path she nearly kicked a hole in the trailer before trying to run down a stable hand on her way into the round pen alone. Now I sat and watched her race around a horse so untrainable looking that it wasn't exactly surprising how inexpensive she had been but Isla had seen something in this horse no one else had so here she was. With that, I gave a nod to Isla who stood at my side seemingly unphased she smiled slightly at my nod. "So you'll ride her then?" her accent clipping the words as she looked at me for a response "well I'll try"

Personality: This boy is certainly a prince. He expects the best. He acts like a Stallion so he cannot go anywhere near mares. His gait is large and floaty. He walks around with his tail high, often sidestepping or prancing around the paddock. Regardless of his conceited personality, he is a farm favorite, often drawing crowds by his field. Though that is when he really shows off.
