About Beau Macalla

Beau is Sean's chestnut gelding, and he's everything Sean isn't: unhurried, unflappable and deeply unimpressed by excitement of any kind. Sean bounces into the barn every morning full of news, and Beau greets him with a slow blink and a long-suffering sigh, as if he's heard it all before and expects to hear it all again tomorrow. He's a sensible, kind horse with a good work ethic, but he believes firmly in doing exactly as much as needed and not a stride more. He's the barn's peacekeeper, the one put in the next paddock to settle anyone fresh or fretful, and he wears the barn's chestnut temper as a total myth. Secretly, he adores Sean, and he's the first to nicker when he hears Sean's car coming up the lane.
