Personality: While his name may seem majestic and regal, Glory himself doesn't exactly strike that tone. While he does seem quite unique from a distance, with an eye-catching color and striking eyes, the stallion himself looks to be quite the catch. However Glory's personalities seems quite detached from his dignified appearance; the stallion is distrustful and fickle, allowing only a select few experienced handlers to ride him. He's quite sensitive about his flanks and face, and is not afraid to give a sharp nip if he feels borders are being pushed. He is generally moody and prefers to be away from horses. However that is not to say the horse is completely hopeless. Glory is sharply intelligent and highly observant, and surprisingly gentle with children and small animals - walking by, a barn cat or two can often be found sleeping beside his stall if not on his back.

Background: Glory was once not his name, but rather the prize for managing to stay atop his back for 8 seconds. Bought cheap at an auction and tried out as a bucking bronco at a rodeo, he quickly earned a reputation as being particularly nasty to stay atop of, enforced by the habit of charging after the riders once they'd fallen off. Unfortunately this reputation only snowballed, as he would be equipped with increasingly more painful and tight cinches around his groin to encourage his bad attitude, eventually resulting in many sliver-like scars across his flanks. In one particularly important championship, one of the twisted buckles slipped and ended up slicing a rather prominent wound, visible to spectators. After a brief stint with authorities, he was confiscated from their use.

Housed in a humane shelter for several years, people were never sure what to do with Glory. On one hand, he was a beautiful specimen of a horse with clearly strong athletic prowess. But he was moody and vicious, set on being distrustful of humans after years of mistreatment. Fortunately, he caught the eye of an STS stable worker, and was eventually moved out to the property. While still one of the more volatile horses at the stables, with skill and patience he has begun to be trained in the discipline of barrel racing to channel his athletic energy.
