Sherlock is a narcissistic, arrogant, self-centered stallion, who can quite likely be discribed as a sort of sociapath. His only friend is the dog, Orfeo, with whom he hangs out a lot. He however also is a highly intelligent horse, who figures out the most complicated things really fast. He has a mind of his own and will not bow for anybody, it's a matter of making him believe he does what he wants to do and not try forcing him into something, because it won't work, anyway. Despite his high self-esteem and self-confidence, he still can be really clumsy in social matters, as well as it's fairly easy to trick him, if you have a good portion of shrewdness or witt. His personal arch-nemesis is the harlequine mare, Irene, because she again and again managed to make a fool of him and he simply can't escape her cunning little games, which really vexes him as he is, in fact, a lot more intelligent than her, she's just socially cleverer. He decides for himself which disciplines he wants to be trained in, his favourite so far is dressage and he is absolutely unwilling to pull a cart or anything else. He's a tad tricky with breedings, because he takes a lot of mares not for full and either angers them enough to make them not let him breed or he shows no interest in them.
Sherlock no doubt is the physically biggest horse at IVS, yet despite his broad built and draft physics, he's an incredibly elegant and agile dancer. He enjoys the fine arts of dressage the most, maybe even moreso, because due to his heritage it might be a bit harder for him. He often can be seen watching other horses train their dressage moves, almost like he tries to learn from them even without a rider.
Sherlock was a gift from IVS' friends at FFS - actually the sturdy colt was meant to become a horse for draft diciplines and driving, yet Sherlock had other ideas. It soon turned out that the black stud is of a very peculiar character and instead of pulling weight prefers the fine lessons of dressage. Jack gladly took him in and even if he knows Sherlock never truly will be able to compete with the lighter dressage breeds, the two of them still enjoy to show that you should never change a book by it's cover.
DICIPLINE(s): Dressage and whatever else he pleases. XD
