When Isabella was looking for stallion's to bring to RTS she knew she wanted at least one that had little to no big name sires in their close lines. Noble was one of the few she saw that had the pedigree but also had the talent to back it up. When she met Noble he was everything most people think of when the think of an Arabian halter horse, he was hot, flighty, sensitive, and always seemed ready to bolt. When he arrived at RTS she let him settle in for a couple days before immediately putting him to work. With a consistent schedule of a variety of things and solid groundwork from day one he mellowed out ever so slightly and became a lot more respectful of people but he is still hot and sensitive. Noble will never be the horse for anyone but an advanced rider who is experienced and comfortable with a hot and sensitive horse. He's a difficult ride and he has been known to hold a grudge if someone handles him too roughly. Noble is one of those horses that needs a rider who is so light in the saddle that it's almost like they aren't there until they give a cue and even then the cues should be feather light. He's also wildly intelligent which means any inconsistencies in the person are likely to be taken advantage of and he will remember being able to get away with things and try again. Noble's intelligence also means that he picks up new things extremely quickly and he needs to be kept busy in training and in his pasture and stall or he tends to get bored and find ways to entertain himself which regularly include damaging fences or throwing his jolly ball at passing people and horses. With the right rider/handler who knows all his quirks and how to handle them he can be a great horse to be around and work with. If he's kept busy and interested Noble is an extremely friendly on the ground and loves attention and surprisingly will stand for as long as needed to be groomed and prepped for shows. Noble has the potential to be a fantastic show horse with the right rider and handler but since he was purchased as a potential breeding stallion his build, gaits, and pedigree are just as important as his talent and potential in the ring. Noble has a nice hip and shoulder, compact athletic body, long elegant neck, and pretty but masculine head. His gaits aren't the biggest or the boldest but they are still beautiful and strong. Of all his fantastic qualities, Noble's pedigree is the main reason he was purchased to add to the breeding string, his sire is the multi-national champion Versace son Odyssey SC and out of a beautiful and accomplished El Nabila B daughter. His pedigree is full of accomplished show horses but he has very few of the big names so he makes a really nice potential outcross for the mares that have more of those names showing up. Noble may present a bit of a challenge as a show horse but he does have a lot of potential and we can't to see where he goes.
