June’s Character – Sheridan
June 4, 2009
Sheridan is the Stallion of the Henshaw stables. And the most important horse on the farm. Not to mention the most handsome, smart and loved. At least, if you ask him. He may be contrived, and full of himself, but he also has a great heart, and when Nonna needs his help, he does not hesitate. He will also risk his own life to protect those of his two friends in the stables, Bessy – the old mare, and Camilla – the thoroughbred race horse of the farm.
Sheridan has an enormous crush on Camilla, but she rarely notices him. He is quite a bit older than her, and she thinks of herself as a queen or a breed apart. But Sheridan’s status, in her eyes, does improve tremendously when he saves her from horse thieves, and even more so when he brings Nonna home from her long absence from the stables.
In the next book, Sheridan will meet another stallion, and will have to work hard to keep his status in the stables. But is it even a fight he can win?
