Dominant and demanding, Arthurian is a force to be reckoned with. He fears no man nor beast - frequently picking fights with both his fellow horses and those attempting to handle him. He actively wants to pick fights; gets a thrill out of it that he cannot seem find elsewhere.
Even keeping him isolated does not seem to stop him from lashing out. He'll kick at walls and fence posts, or screech at horses at he can see in the distance. Honestly, it's rather annoying. Staff quickly grew tired of his behaviour. Now, most avoid him when they can. Some have even taken to carry around earplugs for when he throws one of his fits! The only person who seems to actually like Arthurian is Nick, who - somehow - has struck up a close bond with the colt. He's the only living being that the horse seems to tolerate. If anybody else tries to ride him, the colt bucks and rears until they're thrown from his back. (Nick claims that he did nothing to convince Arthurian to like him and that it's just is natural charm. In reality, he regularly bribes the colt with carrots and apples.) In the parade ring, Arthurian uses the exposure to his competitors to eye them up and pick an initial target. There is always one horse that he latches onto and fixates on. Oddly, the starting gate seems to be one thing that Arthurian does not seem to want to fight. He seems to know that it is what precedes a race, and his chance to battle whoever he has decided to pick during the parade. Once unleashed, he'll fight tooth an nail to defeat this opponent - intimidating them by running close and sticking by them in the hopes of making them run faster and overexert themselves until, finally, he can steal victory from their grasp. He is a rather good at initially picking out a front runner or another horse that will keep near the front of the race, but occasionally he targets a horse that is not ideal. When this happens, his jockey has to force him to move on. Arthurian is stubborn about it in scenarios like this, but he eventually listens and picks a new target, and then continues to race as per usual. |
