About

"Extremely fast. This stallion runs like the wind and hates being confined to small areas. Does not do well in a stall."

Cicero was born in the wilds of New Zealand. Based on his age, it is safe to assume he was either in a bachelor herd or had a herd of his own. While a stallion he was often very territorial, but since being gelded, these aggressive tendencies have dropped significantly. However, he can still be possessive of the two miniature mares in his pasture, should a stallion get too close to their fence.

Since arriving months ago, Cicero has become another special member of the TES family. He still has the finer phases of his training ahead of him, but he has settled into stable life comfortably, and has grown to be a very affectionate horse. New things often surprise him, as he has maintained strong fight-or-flight instincts from living in the wilds, but he gets through these instances with patience and soft coaxing. He fears just about all types of machinery, namely vehicles; he loathes the noise of a motor running. Planes and helicopters flying by tend to make him squirm as well. Keep in mind that he is an utter menace when it comes to dogs and will chase one off if running isn't an option; it's not recommended that you allow your pup to wander. He has grown especially attached to Dylan, and she treats him with all the loving attention she can spare.

As a mount, Cicero is tremendously -- sometimes frustratingly so -- sensitive and will respond to the smallest of cues. He's smart and can be trusted to pick up on new concepts fairly quickly. Being more of a one-person horse, he prefers being ridden by someone who is familiar with him and how he functions. Cicero is a real speed-demon with an impressive endurance, so good luck slowing him down.

He is quite fond of the miniatures Daph and Blink over the fence, and now that he is gelded, they've become his new pasture-mates. He is very mindful of their small size and takes care to be gentle with them.
