Later, Merida rides on Angus back to the castle grounds and returns him to the horse stable. Their bond is strong and loving, as Merida can coax him into one adventure after another and allows no one in the castle but herself to see to his care.Īngus is first seen during the musical number ' Touch the Sky' where Merida rides on him through the forest shooting arrows at targets and later seen watching Merida climb the cliffs and discovering a waterfall. He can be balky, stubborn or faint-hearted at times, but is ultimately very loyal to Merida. Black as night with ivory muzzle and fetlocks, Angus is Merida’s powerful Shire horse and her most trusted confidant.
