personality
Fury was something Ripley expected when Casualty of War was brought to Witch Creek. Fury was what she got. The black colt is a monster of a horse. Big, bulky, and strong, Sultan came into Witch Creek full of fire and full of ammo. He has to be muzzled in his stall as he made it widely known that he would not tolerate the mere offering of just a treat. The colt goes for blood when a human comes near his stall and is officially located in the yearling section of the barn, where Malcolm does not allow visitors. Sultan is hell on hooves. He'll whistle and scream until someone takes him for a walk or he rips his stall door down. He's not a very studdish colt, just a very dominant one. He prances at the end of the shank, an absolute picture of pure masculine equine form, and luckily, he behaves well enough to not have a chain. The black colt does not rear or kick. He simply bites, but there is a workable trick to that and Ripley knows it will be solved. Sultan reminds Ripley much of Touch Up in his attitude. He is a proud son of a gun, a tough horse and one that knows his own strength. Full of fire, the only safe place to be around Sultan is on his back. He tolerates tacking up because it will get him to the track to let loose all of his wild energy. The rider is immediately vaulted up onto his big cobalt back and Sultan is off.
He struts like a knight's charger on the track, hefty and demanding of attention. Sultan is a show stopper and when he hits his gallop stride he reflects his amazing breeding. The colt pummels the earth beneath his hooves, flashes his talent even before the gate. He loads good and proper, eyes wide as saucers, nostrils distended to maximum extension for the best air intake. The moment the bell clangs and the gates open, Sultan is long gone. The black horse surges away at the start to immediately stake a claim for the lead. He used to run head and head with anyone who dared challenge him. However, as he has gotten older, Sultan has become more malleable. The big colt will lope along on the the lead and often will let a faster horse storm off. Sultan has no concerns. He's tactical enough to run shorter distance and he only gets better as the distance increases. Sultan is a champion at heart, courageous in the brain and full-of-fire in the soul.
