personality
Comet would be well described as a level-headed gelding, with a maturity beyond what would be expected beyond his age. While it is clear that he has a lot of energy at his disposal and can at times be found making quite the display in the paddock he is generally quiet and subdued. He is not a shy horse, but he is not the one to come running over to greet you either - he just takes life as it comes. In some ways, he can be a bit of a nuisance - nipping when being tacked up, barging through the stall door when you go to open it and making sure that you know he is there. However, he isn't particularly nasty - just a little on the mischievous side, almost as if he is challenging his handlers. Under saddle, however, he is much less troublesome - Comet is forward (reacting to very little leg pressure) and motivated. His natural confidence means that there is little chance of him spooking and he seems willing to perform the tasks asked of him. He learns quickly and is clever and often analyzes the situation before he acts.
Comet is quiet before a race - restrained, almost, as he is lead in the parade and loaded into the gate. He has no issues with the contraption and is calm while waiting for the race to start. His break is not explosive, although is it quite quick but he quickly drops toward the back of the field, usually finding a place ahead of the closers. He runs with long, powerful strides and is clearly confident as he makes his way through the race. While he may make a little headway in the main part of a race, it is not until the closing stages that he really comes into his own as it would seem that he has inherited his father's strong closing kick. Comet could be described as explosive in the closing stages of a race - pulling wide and suddenly upping the speed. He has the large build, long stride and power to really make an impression in the stretch and the determination and grit to fight for every inch.
