Harpoon is one of the most unassuming deadly weapons to have in the barn. It’s no secret that her lineage is quite docile, but there’s an unignited fire sitting under this filly’s tail ready to be released. Harpoon is built like a brick house and isn’t afraid to use her body to get what she wants, especially when it comes to breakfast and dinner. She’s quite food aggressive in her stall; this was something that popped up after she started her training. She needs to be left alone to eat in peace with nobody beside her or in front of her, otherwise she will lunge and spear you in the middle of the chest if you get too close. God forbid you try to turn her out right after breakfast. This was learned the hard way after she decided to break down her stall door to get to Oncoming Storm after she walked by. Clearly her stablemate was too close for comfort!
Harpoon is much better now after spending months learning her body language and quirks. She’s otherwise relatively easy to handle on the ground and absolutely loves to be hand-grazed and fussed over excessively. Harpoon is always walking with purpose and is always one step ahead of her human, but she is very quick to respond and respect their space. If she’s told to slow down, she will with no questions asked because she’s very much a people person. Harpoon’s relaxed nature makes it easy for her to travel from track to track. She is the type of horse that will stand with her head resting comfortably on someone’s shoulder no matter where they are, catching a quick snooze before heading to the races. As soon as she hears the sound for the post parade, Harpoon turns into a savage. Take one look in her eyes and you’ll instantly know that she’s out for the kill, but somehow keeps herself calm and collected when she’s around her humans. Harpoon can only tolerate a track pony for a few minutes before she’s sent off to work on her own. You might see a romp or two as she’s warming up, but as soon as she’s locked into the gates it’s game over for the rest of the field. Harpoon is so fast you hardly ever see her breaking from the stalls, blending in with the crowd before she’s right there attacking the top three or four horses with ears pinned flat against her head. Her leg type is called Savage Stalker because she doesn’t just stalk one horse. Harpoon is almost too smart on the track and is not afraid to intimidate more than one horse throughout the race. As she thunders her way down the turf, she breaks free from the pack like a savage gone wild. Personality by Cruisey
