Hot-headed would be a word to describe Landslide. He's quick to get annoyed if something doesn't go as planned. Another way to describe him would be that person that gets bent out of shape when someone accidentally bumps into them in the hallway or steps on their foot. He isn't exactly an aggressive horse, he just refuses to let someone walk all over him. If someone jostles him too much, or if another horses gives him a hard time he'll flatten his ears, bare his teeth and scream. It's a very unsettling, feral guttural sound but it's Warren's way of saying 'Back off!" without getting physical. He's very defensive and has a 'that's mine!' personality especially when it comes to eating. After gelding Warren, we've noticed his attitude has softened out and he's not as pushy anymore, however he still can get a little bit food aggressive. Out in the paddock he'll chase off other horses from the hay bale and occasionally chases them away from a particularly tasty patch of grass. When someone's grooming him or leading him around, he'll give a half-rear when someone else talks or touches his handler as though they're interrupting his 'me-time'. He doesn't load into the trailer easily - that is he doesn't load into the trailer by being led he loads up on his own accord. If you bring him to the trailer and don't try to pull him into the trailer, he'll load up without a problem. You cannot keep a halter on him while he's out in the paddock as he'll ditch it as soon as you turn your back. However, don't fret as this gelding is always waiting at the gate around evening time waiting to be brought back into his stall.
The gelding's racing style is a reflection of his personality. When being led around the paddock before the race it's not unusual to have him buck or rear up just to show his moxie. He's all bunched up energy leading up to the gate and once there he'll fight you as he's being loaded into the gate as he insists on it being his idea to go into the gate. When he's finally safely tucked away within the gates, you'll hear nothing but the heaving blowing of his breath as he watches the turf spread out before him. The gelding is now in his zone and nothing can break his concentration as he's already set his sights on getting across the finish line. As soon as the gates open he surges forward to always take an early lead. His jockey must always take care not to to jostle him too much or it could result in the jockey being unceremoniously dumped onto the track and Landslide continuing the race without them. Landslide makes up his own strategy and he'll keep the lead for a furlong or for the sole purpose of encouraging another horse to fight him for the position. Landslide will bait the challenger before pulling back as though he's thrown the race to them - normally he slips into the middle of the pack but refuses to allow himself to be boxed in. He normally takes up a spot on the outside of the pack and as soon as he hears the cheers of the crowd again he moves forward again. He has a tendency to finish with dramatic flair and proves to be a strong closer even though he could probably maintain a lead position the entire way through. Once he crosses the finish line he almost always gives a buck or three. |
