*The name is Santiago Perez
*Blew out 22 candles
*Is a gorgeous male
PersonalitySanti has an incredible sense of humor and finds it quite easy to laugh. He does, however, know when it's appropriate to be serious and does so. He gets along with just about anyone, with a few exceptions. He could care less if people are better at doing something than he is, after all, there's no one who can be good at everything.
He's a good friend to have, and a hard one to lose. He's exceedingly forgiving, and hasn't held a grudge towards anyone as far as he can remember. Horses are a big thing in his life since he started riding, and if you share that in common with him, then you should be good to go. A lot of people know his name because of his involvement in professional sports, and he hates that.
AppearanceConsidering his occupation, Santi is quite well built. He is no stranger to physical strength and it's pretty obvious. He keeps his hair cut relatively short to keep it out of his way. Because of his sense of humor he's almost always smiling.
His eyes are blue, and unlike most blue eyes, they don't appear gray in dim light. He's not afraid to get dirty, and it's pretty easy to tell. He's not exactly tall, but not short either. His height would more appropriately be considered average.
Riding HistoryWhat do you do when you live in England and have nothing to do? Well, there's a lot of things to do, and one of them just happens to be riding, or attending riding events. That was the choice for Santiago Perez. After the first event he attended he discovered his fascination for the horse world. However, the pristine elegance of english riding didn't really fit his professional soccer player personality.
He moved back to the States because of an injury that lost him his place on the British soccer team, and there started riding. Western riding most suited him, and before long he purchased his first horse. It was a mean horse who seemed to hate the whole world, and it took quite some time before he could actually ride the horse without getting bucked off. Why? Well, this borse had formerly been the champion bucking horse on the pro rodeo circuit, and throwing his rider was just natural. When finally he got the horse to let him ride him, he started reining with him, and discovered that the horse had wonderful talent in that field.
It took a while, but both horse and rider have greatly improved in the year that they've been eventing together. They aren't in the big circuit since Santiago has only half of the riding season to devote full time to riding. When he was no longer plagued by injury, he was invited to join the U.S professional soccer team, and since that was his mode of livelyhood, the only choice was for him to accept. Because of that he only rides full time in winter and early-mid summer, the rest of his time is devoted to soccer.
Desired Riding Level Intermediate
Discipline Western barrel racing
Overall HistoryThe first time he played soccer was in first grade on the "non competitive" team at the local public school. After that, it was just about the only thing he ever did. Freshman year he was on the varsity team at his high school, and showed great promise. At the end of his senior year, he received an invitation to join the United States Professional Soccer Team, which he readily accepted.
After a year he got another invitation from a British soccer team, which he, again, accepted. Only a year into playing he was severely injured when another player slide tackled him, cleats up, in the knee. He was forced to take a year off, and during that year was replaced on the team, meaning that he would have to start all over again. Also during that year, he discovered a fascination with horses.
He moved back to the States and there started riding. When the year he was required to take off was up, he was once again asked to join the U.S soccer team, and he did so, but this time continued riding as well. Since the soccer season was in late summer and early fall, he had the rest of the time to continue riding here at Berlington.
