Quizzical has an endearing charm to his indifference to others. He rebuked his dam for grooming him, only going near her when his belly called. This extreme independence from such a young age impressed his owners, as he keeps himself nearly totally self-sufficient. There is almost a wildness about him in regards to this, and he's an expert problem solver. He wants his own paddock, and he investigates every inch of it daily to be sure he's in full control of every blade of grass, every tree, and every water and food source. It's a bit of a mystery why he's such a loner, and why he shies away from any and all living creatures. He won't accept even a barn cat near by, and will pace and work himself up into a lather if any wild animals happen to come around. Sometimes at night, staff will watch him from afar, seeing him gaze out towards the open fields beyond the stables with a wistful longing. Somewhere in his spirit is a wild soul which longs to be free.
When spring birds sing, staff often put mufflers on his ears to dampen the sound so he won't drive himself crazy trying to sweat out the creatures. He is quite a challenge to train as he doesn't respond to human interaction positively. He works solo, and breezes himself out before galloping away for his solace in his paddock. On race day he can't stand the attention of crowds. Because of this, staff stuff his ears and put blinkers on him and expose him to as little as possible so he remains as calm as they can get him to be. They keep him away from ground workers so he won't push or bite, and his jockey has worked extensively over time with Quiz to get him to tolerate the him for the duration of the race. He has gotten the colt to load into the starting gate without help, but Quizzical still eyes up his neighbours with a fierce disdain. Once those gates are open, he battles for the lead - exploding out so that he can race by himself at the front. He wants it all over with as fast as possible, so his jockey rates him according to the length of the race but mostly lets this colt alone. He digs deep and hard for every inch in every race he runs, and the more he trains the more powerful he becomes. Quizzical is one who takes races wire to wire. If there is a lead challenger, he become quite irate, and easily work up into a duelling battle for the lead. He has no mercy within him, and no empathy whatsoever. Quiz only cares about himself, and himself alone, and his greatest reward is returning home so he can be back on his own turf. |
