Personality
While his name might scare off most people, Terrify definitely has more bark than bite. Yeah, he might be like any typical young stud colt, always trying to get away with whatever trouble he possibly can, but he wouldn't hurt a fly... on purpose. There isn't a mean bone in his body. Now, that doesn't mean he's not a huge pain in the ass. Terrify is a big boy and when he feels fresh - which is quite often - he has proven to be quite the handful. Terrify is as handsome as they come and is a real sight to behold out on the track. He is large and finely muscled, with a deep, almost red coat that glistens in the sun as he prances in the post parade. Saddling him also isn't the easiest as Terrify is known to nibble on anything in sight - even his groom. The team manages to keep the young playful colt in line but he is definitely not a horse for new handlers to try their hand on. It takes an extra bit of reprimanding in order to keep him in line if there are any fillies in sight as he is a real flirt when it comes to the girls. Not only is he is a ladies man with other mares, but he tends to love on women a lot more than men as well.
Terrify breaks quickly as he hates having dirt kicked in his face - it's his one little quirk on the racetrack. If it wasn't for that, Terrify would be perfectly content further back in the pack. He is competitive but not too ridiculously hardheaded and maneuvers according to his jockey fairly easily. He will back off the pace a bit if he has to and won't fight his jockey if he is asked to let another horse take the lead from him. Usually his jockey will keep him in the company of other horses and never opens his leading gap too wide. If Terrify ends up out in front and alone in the stretch, he can get a little too playful and lose focus, so it takes a special touch from his jockey to keep him focused and driving to the wire. As long as he has a challenger on the stretch, he stays focused to the end as his natural will to win kicks in and he will focus on outrunning his challenger. This colt has a large sweeping stride which allows him to reserve his energy over long distances and keep enough reserved in the tank to deny his challengers the lead in the final stretch. His closing kick is perhaps where he gets his name - terrifying. Personality by Lex |
