Personality
As a youngster, I was mistreated. Whipped, hit, kicked, burnt, left with no warmth of a blanket or shelter from the rain, and even left without food or water from time to time. You name it, and it probably happened to me. I don't have resentment or a grudge against humans. I do still fear the new humans, however.
After two years, a new family found me. I started my racing career with them and slowly began to trust people. Then something happened. (That's when my spells started.) I don't remember much, but someone got hurt. I don't remember seeing them after that. Soon after, I was brought here. I guess it's my second chance. I don't give my trust to just anyone you know. I have good reason for this. Most never blame me for it... But more on that later. Like I said, I am untrusting of most humans. You must earn my trust over time and with many kind words and actions. But once you earned my trust, I am loyal to you til the end. I'm not a mean horse though. Shy and jumpy, but definitely not mean. Well, at least I try not to be... But you see, every now and then I make a mistake and someone gets hurt. I don't know how or why it happens, but it does. I never remember what happens exactly but in the end, the humans always give me this sad, sympathetic look when I come to check on them afterward. I always fear they will hit me for messing up, but they never do. It's hard to remember they won't, even after two years of kind treatment. I have slowly grown accustomed to this place. It's finally becoming home to me.
I just started to realize how kind these people are to me though, so I think I will like it here, though I still don't like the new people. Another thing had started just this year, right before I came to this stable. I'm not sure what it is, but I see monster and demons or even think that my first owners are riding me. I bolt and I can't remember much after that. The second I come to though, someone is already hurt. I don't know how or why, but I know I did it. Sam calls them 'spells'. I don't think she blames me for them. She seems to understand how they come about and often stops me before I see things that aren't there. I just hope I don't hurt anyone again. I'm not really one for treats but I do like apples.

Prospect Record 0-0-0-0
Racing record 32 9/6/7
Racing Style Mid-pack
I'm rather jumpy under saddle at the walk and trot but I love to gallop. It's the one time I can acturally think. I'm rather fierce in a race. I know what I'm there for, what I'm suppose to do, and I love every second of it. I'm not scared to bump a horse out of the way or get close to an aggressive looking horse. Heck, I'm not scared of much while I'm galloping. I am often in the middle of the pack and end up weaving my way through to the front. I never have gotten stuck behind anyone as I always end up finding some way out. Maybe it's luck or karma, who knows but it seems to work. And though it may seem like I would be fearful of the gate, I am. It's just that I am more fearful of what may become of me if I bulk at the gate then the gate itself. So I will walk in without a fuss by my muscles quiver and my eyes grow wide as I wait that agonizingly long wait for that bell. Luckily though, Sam seemed to understand after our first race and now has be put in the gate last.
