Personality
Ri is a gutsy horse. Period. Whether it's in the barn or the track, The Rising lets you know that he isn't going anywhere. He draws the attention to himself like a magnet, a very positive magnet at that. He has a hardy nature and a physique that practically pulls you in. He is very workmanlike and professional throughout his day and is quite the charmer for the ladies. He is enthusiastic about everything and takes it all in stride. He tries his hardest to impress and do his best and gets quite sad if he ever has to be disciplined for being naughty. He is always prancing and kindly accepting treats, his eyes often bright and eager for the day's events. He is an absolutely stunning mover, smooth and strong and he doesn't give the appearance of a quick horse. Everything Ri does is purposeful and done with an incredible amount of class.
In the races, Ri will break like a rocket and usually make it to the front before anyone else. However, where he used to get overly excited, Ri will settle down into a nice long fluid stride. He is versatile on the front end and when taken out of his element in the back of the pack can give him a bit of a complex. Throughout the duration of a race, Ri will be on the lead at least some point. It depends on the pace and who else is in the race. Usually, he will stay just off of the pace a length or two back and stalk. He has the ability to get his way out of trouble like a pro chess player and seems to get a kick out of the mind games that he plays. He'll settle down in whatever front running position suits him, galloping along like a pro. Once the final stretch hits, Ri taps into those beautiful reserves and gallops right on by the competition. The move is timed at mid-stretch, giving him little time to think about his competition fading behind him.
