Personality
Speedy is a rambunctious stallion who loves to flirt with the ladies, so to speak. He is a show off. He can get a little pushy with other horses for he sees himself as THE BOSS. He always wants every horse out of his way so he can reach the ladies first. How is he with his human counterparts? Let's just say, he is a lady killer. He doesn't do well with men, though as they typically like to challenge him, rather than ask him. This horse loves nothing more to get revved up and go toe to toe with someone. When he gets walked or ridden, it absolutely has to be a female handling and working with him.
Speedy was easy to school with the starting gate. So many horses would balk in terror, but this colt always took it like a champ. He isn't the best breaker. It takes time for him to get his footing and really get into a comfortable position on the track. He does have the speed and energy once he does get into gear, bounding over the surface with the playfulness of a child. He can save all of his energy for he stretch run and it does take him the distance. He will start passing horses in the backstretch and seems to get stronger and stronger with each stride. Once he sees that stretch ahead of him, he kicks it up a notch and passes all the rest of the horses. His big strides usually carry him down the center of the lane, ears pricked as he cruises on by the other runners. He is an effortless mover who begs to be photographed. If he needs to be put to the drive, his rider will use hand and foot to encourage him. In doing so, the handsome horse drops his head and gobbles up the ground as if he hadn't been running at all.
