Personality
Pride is a different kind of animal than the usual Witch Creek horse. He is challenging in a different sort of way. Physically, he is all there. Mentally, he doesn't have his head screwed on right. The colt is more reactive to stimuli than anything else in the barn. He has constant white rims around his eyes, always with his ears pricked and body tense. Anything that moves is a threat. He'll be halfway across the paddock if a rabbit so much as moves alongside him. He is the horse that gives thoroughbred racehorses a bad name. Pride hates plastic bags, anything that rattles and particularly hates the bee-like horns that have become popular. He'll just go crazy, kicking and squealing, racing away before a person even gets a say in the matter. Yet... for all of his alert and frantic behaviors, there is something about Pride that screams untapped talent. Reese Balling Jones was attracted to the colt the instant he came flying down the trailer. It was the way he was built. The way the sunlight shone like fire down onto his hide. It was the fire that lived side by side with the fear. A fearful horse is a dangerous horse.
On the track, the colt has to have ear fuzzies in or he will not be able to run a lick. Sound distractions simply prove too much for the chestnut son of Deathflash's Pride. He'll warm up a good clip and it is in a race that Pride's energy comes in handy. The colt will break like a shot from the gate, powerfully and immediately swooping to the lead. He dares others to come and tackle him. Sometimes he'll be on the front end by ten lengths, others by two. The colt will run side by side with an opponent, his white-rimmed eyes always tracking them. He can go on forever. It is ironic that the colt that is so afraid of a plastic bag, can also have so much courage in the face of a battle. He will not budge an inch off of the lead and stuns everyone when he is still there throughout the stretch. A speed-crazy front runner should never be able to last beyond a mile, but he does last. He proves everyone wrong and seems to relish it.
