Personality
Violent tendencies aside, Banshee is equine perfection. Her beauty is noteworthy and is one of the first things every human feels they must point out upon looking at her. Both her sire and dam were infamous for their nasty personalities and the trait didn't bother to skip a generation. If anyone should approach her stall, Banshee will flash her teeth AND lunge at the stall door. At first, there were neurological concerns. Surely, a young horse couldn't be so intrinsically aggressive? Suggestions were made to keep the filly outside and as horse-like as possible, steer clear of hyperactive environments and always be prepared and never let your guard down. She'll keep to herself and won't attach herself to any human. She may look pretty, but she simply doesn't act it. However, for all her temperament issues, Banshee is a very good girl during her work. She doesn't put a hoof wrong and is actually pretty light on the bridle. She has a gorgeous floating stride, and almost has an ethereal presence out on the track.
Every measure was taken to ensure the gate staff were safe when handling the filly, but it wasn't necessary. Her aggressiveness is non-existent on the track. She'll load beautifully and break on top with everyone else. Her ears shoot up in excitement at the sight of the wide expanse of track. She is a joy to watch as she settles from the clatter of the gate into her confident gallop. She tends to track the pace while being right up on it, but her nature isn't one to press the leader. Her cruising speed keeps her in contention, but her competitiveness really doesn't kick in until the charge down the homestretch. She does need a cue to go on, but when she gets it, she'll take off, cranking up the speed within seconds. She'll kick clear by open lengths, breaking the hearts of those who ran with her early and simply couldn't keep up. If someone comes to her down the lane, she'll finally show her inherent meanness by flattening her ears against her skull and pouring everything she is into staving off the late run. |
