Personality
Imposing is a good word to describe War Monger. He holds himself so well, towering over his friends and foes without being the tallest. He was a silent leader of the young herds and became the horse that everyone else fed off in times of strife. Nothing bothered him, nothing bothers him to this day. He's a level headed animal and very watchful. He doesn't do anything without first thinking it over, which lends itself useful and undesirable at the same time. Monger is a cunning sort of animal and at times, very rebellious during his early training. Although not the tallest animal, Monger has a bit of weight to him and he knows how to use it to his advantage. The only time Monger gets ruffled is out on the track during the afternoon. He puffs himself up, puts his head to his chest and rattles his competition just by being.
War Monger is a good gate horse to a degree. He isn't one to move around and often his jockey has to tap him every so often if he's the first to load, just to make sure he's ready to go. He breaks even enough and tends to roll into stride, rather than come out flying. His large stride makes up for the lackluster start and never allows him to be a closer. He simply eats up the ground too quickly to settle behind another horse. He gallops confidently, his ears flicking over his head as if to ask his jock when he should go. He doesn't get intimidated if he finds himself in a tight spot as other horses tend to bounce off him without hampering his stride. When it comes time, his jockey only has scrub on his neck to cue him. With thunderous strides, War Monger will devour the ground and his opponents with ease, but the work doesn't stop for his jock. To protect himself, Monger will only do as much work as is necessary to outrun his competition, so the flashing whip may not touch the striking animal, but it does remind him to keep on running. |
