PERSONALITY
Mattie is a sweet horse off the track. She's the kind of horse who, if she wasn't such a good racehorse, she'd be the perfect lesson pony. She's the kind of horse who will do as you ask, when you ask. And she's smart enough to pick up on things the first or second time through. She likes her routine and fill pitch a fit if things are moved around (such as if dinner time's a little bit late). There isn't a mean bone in her body, even if she does get pushed around a bit by the other fillies. Not that she won't push back when she's had enough, but she's usually not the instigator of fights.
LEG TYPE: FRONTRUNNER
Mattie is a horse that needs to be in the front no matter what. She might be a nice filly off the track, but once she takes a step on it, that sweetness is gone. Occasionally we think she was switched at birth, that there was no way she can be the foal of Made In Manhattan. She barely tolerates anyone beside her once they start galloping. In the post parade, she's just fine. And she barely tolerates being inside the starting gates, anxious to get out. But once the gate doors open, all bets are off. Hailey has to work hard to keep her clear of anyone, usually sitting just off to the side of the other front-runners if the gray filly's not already there. Because if someone has the misfortune of coming up on the side, there's a good chance that Mattie will try to lash out at them. Thankfully that hasn't happened yet.
