Bio[/i]
Name: Jim Craig
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-Three
Appearance: And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast,
He was something like a racehorse undersized,
With a touch of Timor pony—three parts thoroughbred at least—
And such as are by mountain horsemen prized.
He was hard and tough and wiry—just the sort that won’t say die—
There was courage in his quick impatient tread;
And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye,
And the proud and lofty carriage of his head.
But still so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay,
And the old man said, “That horse will never do
For a long and tiring gallop—lad, you’d better stop away,
Those hills are far too rough for such as you.”
So he waited sad and wistful—only Clancy stood his friend —
“I think we ought to let him come,” he said;
“I warrant he’ll be with us when he’s wanted at the end,
For both his horse and he are mountain bred.

Extra Comments: Sire: Ebonite Dragonfly Dam: Mirage. All owned by Jim Craig
Name: Ebonite Dragonfly
Gender: Stallion
Age: Four
Personality: A high strung thoroughbred with a hell of a temper. Most of his previous trainers had given up on him, unable to gain his trust. His last owner even started trying to beat it out of him. He is unraced and full of energy, the worst thing came when he brought a disproportioned pinto colt (Wind) with a small built draft mare (Mirage) back from his latest excursion on the range. He was sold shortly after, for ten dollars, to Jim Craig. He was surprised when Wind and Mirage were dumped at the yards with the fiery black stallion.
Extra Comments: Has sired one foal, Wind. Owned by Jim Craig
Name: Heather
Gender: Mare
Age: Eight
Personality: A happy little mare with a big heart. But she just doesn't like Wind.

Personality: Quite a placid mare, willing to please Jim. But does have a tendancy to pick fights with Heather.
Extra Comments: Has had one foal, Wind. Owned by Jim Craig

Personality: This old fellow helps train young horses and settle the usual disputes between Heather and Mirage.
