Personality
Taipan has the fiercest name, that of one of the most poisonous snakes in the world, but he is nothing to fear unless you are his competition on the track. A roughshod looking colt with a fierce dark eye and a savage head, Pan gives any outsider the expectation of meanness until one of his own walks up to him, pushes his head back into the stall and goes about their business. Taipan is a lover and always takes any criticism to heart. He is a very polite horse, never stepping on the toes of his human and always staying right at the person's side without infringing upon personal space. He had a great upbringing and simply is one of the nicest horses to work with on the string at the moment.
During his morning exercise and afternoon races, Taipan is as easygoing a character as can be. He likes to watch everything, his little head and ears always flicking back and forth to catch the action. The gray gives the appearance of a brawler, but he won't harm a single hair on any of the people that work with him. His personality won over many a gate worker and outrider during his introduction to the races. When he gets moving, Pan becomes a little unruly, often bucking in his pre-race warm up, but he settles down to business when reminded of his job. The firecracker goes into the gate easily and breaks smoothly, always within the top flight of horses. While he is not one to go after the lead, Taipan is happy to settle back off of the leader's hip and apply pressure. His female family lends itself in the form of stamina and his sire line lends itself to a high-cruising speed that makes him dangerous in the sprinter world. Pan's best weapon is his turn speed where he can crank into second gear and put away the leaders while separating himself from the closers. Pan likes to draw away and win for fun, but if someone dares to run with him in the late closing stages, they won't find themselves a sitting duck, but a warrior stirring for a fight. |
