Qredit Hilltop: "King Q" Reigns
Qredit has not only proven himself as a top dressage horse and a top dressage stallion, but he also makes himself known to the other stallions at Hilltop Farm, hence the nickname "King Q." But once he's quickly said his piece, he goes back to being a laidback and uncomplicated dude. Quirks are not his thing - it takes too much effort to be weird! He prefers to be straightforward, to stick with the people he knows, and to stay focused on the business at hand. Oh, and keep those blankets to yourself!
