personality: He's the horse who thinks he is a dog!  He loves giving horse kisses up the sides of unsuspecting faces, has a fondness of sweet tea, keylime pie, spagetti and roasted marshmallows.  He has very goofy personality and a great love for children.  He is always very helpful but with tendencies to be a prankster.
