Monarch's Journey - the first horse officially co-owned by Ronan and Kailin Suhail, purchased due to his big, bold stature and quiet manner. Arch is quite the serious individual, for the most part. He's that guy in the group of friends that tries to talk everyone out of dumb ideas and keep them from getting into trouble. He gets nervous in new situations, especially ones that have strange sounds or sights - he'd be an awful trail horse. Arch isn't an incredibly social animal, but he doesn't mind having other horses around him as long as they don't bother him. He's definitely the type to enjoy comfortable silence. He does have things things that get him rattled, though - clippers, for one things, send him into a sweating panic. We're not sure why this fear is so ingrained in him, but if he ever does need cleaned up, he generally has to be sedated. He also doesn't like plastic-type noises - crinkling, snapping, any noise that plastic or cellophane might make. He reacts before he thinks when he hears it, and it can take awhile to calm him down. The staff has been working with him, but he'll never truly be comfortable with the substance. However, he does like the humans that often are the source of the noises, so maybe he come around yet. He's happy to have humans around, and can form deep bonds, but he isn't very physically affectionate - he doesn't like to be pet or touched much at all, though he will tolerate it for a bit of time. He's more patient with children, so Ronan and Kai get to pet him as much as they want as long as they bring him treats. Treats are his real kryptonite - he'll stand just about anything as long as he gets sugar in return. Under saddle, Arch's much of the same. He's very serious and matter-of-fact, listening to his rider and being an overall great ride. He can get caught up in the heat of the moment when there's competition involve, testosterone taking over - but that's what makes him such a great racehorse. Arch has the personality of a champion, and we're hoping he makes his child-owners proud.
LEG TYPE: VARIABLE
Arch can be a little nervous before a race because of the crowd, so it isn't abnormal for him to be a bit washy before he goes into the gate. However, the gate seems to ground him, so he is focused by the time they snap open. Arch has a quick break, but is generally not the fastest out. Because he's not fazed much by the other horses, Arch generally runs the speed he sees fit. This can have him at the front of the pack in a slow race or closer to the back in a fast one. He seems to run well from pretty much any position, though he does like to be within two strides of the leader coming out of the turn. From there he kicks on that acceleration he boasts, and he chases down the leaders with that competitive burst of testosterone that even a serious colt like him can't quash. If he can pull away and leave his competitors in the dust, he will do so gladly.
