MINSTREL
|
PERSONALITY
Minstrel is a flighty, easily distracted sort of animal. He was a challenge to train, since he seems to be terrified of the world - any startling noise or movements sets him to snorting and prancing. He'd survive in the wild for sure, but it makes him a very challenging horse to work with. If he wasn't so damn talented, it might not have been worth the effort. However, once he's pointed in the right direction and let loose, Minstrel is an exceptional competitor. In order to help him out, he gets cotton balls in his ears during training. He does very well once the sounds are deadened and he can really focus on the cues he's being given.
LEG TYPE: RAIL RUNNER
Minstrel is jumpy and agitated in the paddock, but with the sounds deadened he can be kept under control. He tends to break pretty sharply, but he actually tends to be uncomfortable until he's made his way to the rail. He likes to have the support on his inside, and seems soothed by that one familiar thing in the race. It doesn't matter if he settles in the lead or at the rear - as long as he's on the rail, he will settle nicely and begin to focus on the task at hand. His bundled up energy does well for him in the stretch drive, as he can let it all out sprinting for the finish.
