Personality
Sweeto Cheeto is a bit on the jumpy side, like his sire. In fact Cheeto is a miniature version of his sire, Like A Cheetah. He is a fun loving horse that loves to run. Once you get Cheeto into the gate he will just bolt from it as though his tail is on fire, often threatening to break through before the race even begins. The weird thing is he is not scared of the gate and loads without a problem but once he is inside he shifts from hoof to hoof obviously uncomfortable. Once out of the gate he has the tendency to continue to add more and more speed with every furlong. Even once he is in the lead he will increase speed. Cheeto is an even mix of both his sire and dam, though he does display a number of differences. Unlike his dam he doesn't really care about the horses he is up against, he cares more about the race. Unlike his sire, he doesn't seem to get nervous with thunderstorms. Ripley considers this a blessing because there are plenty of storms and she has no time to care for traumatized horses. Ripley is planning on taking her time with the son of Like A Cheetah. He needs time and she has plenty of it when it comes to training. The colt is about fully grown and has begun to get a grip on his limbs. He is a very settled colt. He settled right in at Witch Creek Stable and quickly made friends with Frozen Motion in the stall next door. In the morning Cheeto is pretty lazy. So lazy that he will sleep through breakfast unless Ripley wakes him up from his sprawled out position in the sawdust. Brooks calls the stallion a sloth, but Ripley is willing to bet that he is just taking care of himself. The colt is only preparing and storing his energy for what comes later on in the mornings and the afternoons. Brooks isn't confident that Cheeto can run, but Brooks hasn't seen the colt out in the pastures. Ripley's talent for recognizing a horse's potential immediately zeroed in on the colt. He always seemed to be floundering, unsure of his position and what he should be doing. He'd goof and run zig zags around the track. Now, however, Ripley as added the shadow roll to his equipment. The stallion is a lot more focused and quicker in his speed response than he was without it. He runs straight and true and doesn't display that nervous fear of shadows any longer. He was never slow, just afraid of his own self. The shadow roll has certainly helped to turn this guy right around.
