Personality: Ervacon is one of those horses who can take just about anything, but there are a few things he just doesn't like. The original plan was for him to go into eventing under all disciplines, that is until we discovered his phobia of water. If it isn't for him to drink he refuses to risk getting his hooves, when doing water jumps in either cross country or show jumping he will do everything in his equine power to throw his rider and get away from the water. The first time it happened was at the stable training course for cross country, he is a large Tolter with a good chest and general build, so he is a powerhouse when it comes to showing. So you can imagine the surprise of his rider when they go from barreling down the course to taking the water jump alone, as the stallion turns tail and starts trotting the opposite direction. As it turns out he had a rather traumatic event with a water hose when he was a foal, and it started his general phobia of water. Bathing him has to be done completely with buckets, which are filled as far away from him as possible, even then he is visibly unhappy the entire time. Of all our Tolters he is the cleanest because he wants to avoid the need for anything more then a rub down.So we decided to put him into the show that doesn't require water other than for bathing. He is our top dressage horse because it is the only thing he trains in, compared to the other tolters having a few different disciplines. He moves with the fluidity of a dancer even with his large muscular frame, everything seems to come naturally for him. He slides easily into different gates, and seems to glide across the ground, his paces smooth and almost flawless. He steps bouncy and energetic or small and feather soft depending on the move. As long as there isn't any water around he is the most well collected animal you could ever find.
Around the other tolters he can be rather pushy but he doesn't mean it in a bad way, even around foals he is gentler but still a little on the rough side. However, the foals seem to like him for it and he can handle all the bites, and kicks from the mares who disagree. We generally keep him away from any other stallions as is regulation for all of our studs here, just as a safety precaution so they don't end up fighting. Considering his large size we don't want anything or anyone having a disagreement with him. Half the time he doesn't know his own strength and what should have been an affectionate nudge turns into a well meaning shove and for the unwary a well meant face plant.
Stable Friend: "Birds of a feather flock together." This statement couldn't be more true then for Azaban and Ervacon. Both of them are the stable chimeras and it is as if they know this. Whenever the hound isn't off in the fields playing with the foals or pestering other barn animals, he can be found hanging out with Ervacon. Often you will see the dog snoozing on the back of the big stud, perfectly at ease high off the ground. It is quite the sight especially since it is an absolute jumble of coat colours and patterns. People come to visit the stable often point at the pair in awe thinking they are an elaborate art piece. For some reason they refuse to believe that a horse can have such an elaborate coat, and they refuse the same thing with Azaban. Either way these two guys don't care what people think of them, they are perfectly happy being their crazy old selves. (Additional information about Azaban can be found at my Tolter stable linked in my description.)
