Height : 17.2hh (179cm / 70 inch)
Estimated Weight : 800lbs
Phenotype : Seal Brown. A dark brown, slightly blue/grayish on his shoulders, quarters and neck.
Markings : Star, not-so-straight stripe falling into a pool of a snip at the top of his muzzle. A sock stretching higher on the inside of his off foreleg, a very small coronet on his near fore and a sock just over his fetlock on his near hind leg.
Scar(s): Burn scars all over his body. Prominent on the near side of his face, legs, cheek and the underside of his neck and a patch on his chest. They are speckled, wild and look a lot like someone’d chucked a bucket of pale pink paint on him.
Eyes: Dark brown, almost black.
Genotype: | AA/Ee | »» | AtAt | E+e |
Physical Appearance: Tall, very thin with the remnants of what used to be a lot of muscle. He has a very long head, ever-so-slightly roman profile and small, pert ears. His back is short and flat and has very long, thin legs and big hooves. His mane is sparse and thin and his tail stops at his hocks.

Temperament:
Current: Reserved… He is a shell of his former self, and has more of a problem being okay in difficult situations than Lennie. Tobias like quite words —spoken only by Seb— and doesn’t really like anyone else being around him. He nearly freaks out when anyone tries to touch him, especially near his burns, and has a constant terrifying, crippling fear of smoke or fire.
Before the fire: Fiery, strong-willed and very, very fast! Tobias really doesn’t have the ability to slow down, and even the strongest pack of horses on the track wouldn’t deter him from running like a cheetah and storming down the rail. He is kind, gentle, but has a knack of nipping people to get little tidbits.

Confirmation Scoring:
Head: --------- 3/5
Shoulders: --- 4/5
Forelegs: ----- 4/5
Hindlegs: ----- 4/5
Quarters: ---- 3/5
General: ------ 3/5
Confirmation Notes:
With a short back and disproportionately long legs and a long head, Tobi’s not a perfect example of the breed, but the lightness of his body (small, thin barrel and narrow hips) helped him immensely when racing.
Gaits
Walk: --------------------------- 3/5
Trot: ---------------------------- 4/5
Canter: ------------------------- 1/5
Gallop: -------------------------- 5/5
Notes on Paces:
Like most racers, Tobi never learned to canter. His natural trot is very nice, and his gallop infallible, his walk is long and lollopy.

History: Born at a racing yard in Kentucky to a big bay mare. Was weaned at 4 months and began training as a track horse as a yearling, progressing swiftly until he was first raced at just over two years old. However, in early July, there was a barn fire started from unknown causes which quickly enveloped the main stable block. The stables was abandoned apart from the old owner at that time, and two grooms (including Seb). The fire spread, killing two horses in the main flames and a young groom as well. The fire continued to spread and began to penetrate the inner depths of the barn where Tobi was stabled. Tobi began incessantly neighing, finally waking the two sleeping grooms in the hayloft. Seb went about the stables, releasing the doors on all the stables he could get to, and finally the main door – from which burst all the horses he could get out. The other groom fled and called the fire service, and the old owner attempted to put it out with one of the hoses. He was killed by the smoke and flames.
Seb released Tobi’s stable, along with the other stallions, but Tobi wouldn’t leave – he was too terrified of the flames. Seb finally passed out from the smoke he had inhaled and Tobi managed to push his body into a corner. The stallion (at the time) lay down in front of him, protecting Seb from most of the heat, smoke and fire, neighing until his voice gave out. The firefighters found them in the corner a few minutes later as they put out the rest of the fire.
Tobi was taken to an equine hospital in Washington and was treated for second and third-degree burns, covering a large proportion of his body for several months; he was also gelded. He was kept sedated for several weeks until the pain of his injuries was reduced to such a point that he could survive if conscious.
Seb was taken to Virginia, where he was treated for smoke inhalation and the burns he sustained. Both of their medical bills were covered by the racing barn’s owner – who has medical insurance for all his horses and employees.
When Tobi was to be released from the hospital, Seb bought him with his compensation money and began travelling around America, looking for work, all the time keeping Tobi as safe and comfortable as possible – and also trying to keep up with vet appointments.
After 5 years of moving around, Seb was approached by Kalib who was looking for a 3DE rider and had seen Seb working with some horses in Denver one summer. They moved up the mountain and Tobi has lived at BS ever since. He has made friends with Lennie and George, but avoids the mares and stallions, he can also not be ridden due to his burns —apart from small bareback rides with Seb— and spends his days out in the fields.

Breeder: A racing barn in Kentucky.

Did you know that Tobias is my favorite name, ever?! I fell in love with this guy the minute I saw him. I'm so sorry to hear about his past, though. Hopefully he gets all the care he needs now.

Well, he's pretty messed up.. and 5 years of traveling around hasn't helped - so maybe he'll find himself at BS :)
