"Nate"
Y12 Dark Bay Thoroughbred Stallion 16.2 HH Lifetime HoTY: 5 |
Nate lives up to his name very well - he is a wild, aggressive colt, with all of the hot-headedness of his parents combined. He's bold, afraid of nothing, and has a huge dominant streak that makes him a fantastic competitor, if hard to handle on the ground. He has to have a strong, firm personality working with him in order to keep him from taking advantage. While he's still aggressive, he shows a little more wariness and will be less likely to actually cause damage. He doesn't get along with other horses in the pastures, taking nothing but leadership as acceptable. He's turned out in a paddock now, adjoining other horses but not actually in with them - we're too afraid he'll actually cause damage to the other colts, or them to him. He's halfway manageable when being tacked up, though he does tend to get a little girth sour if things are done too quickly. We think his better moods are due to the anticipation of being able to run - it's the perfect outlet for his explosive energy, and he's really his best when under saddle. With a weaker or timid rider, he'll still take the bit and pull them around. With a confident rider who's used to difficult stallions, as Hal is, he's pretty much push-button. He still has his bold manner, but that only serves to pour on more speed when challenged. They try to keep other horses, especially colts, away from him on the ground, as he's tried to start fights before the race before.

Nate is an incredibly difficult horse to gate, but the staff is working on it. It's only the gating itself, though - once in the stall, Nate is hot on his toes and focused on the track. When the gates open he is very quick to break and rockets straight out to take the lead - and he will fight, as he is very much a suicidal front runner. If he is not in the lead, he's fighting to be, and is happiest at least a length ahead of any other competitors. In the stretch this colt does not give an inch. He will take advantage of any lead he has built up in the race and fight to stay ahead. He is all stamina and heart, filled with a strong competitive desire and in a head-on-head situation always seems to have more to give. He refuses to be bested when challenged, and his heart will give out before his will ever does.
