DOOM HERALD
NICKNAME: Doom
AGE: 1
GENDER: Colt
BREED: Thoroughbred
COLOR/COAT: Chestnut
SIRED BY: High Chaparral
OUT OF: Regard by Zabeel
RACING: Yes
HISTORY: Doom was the result of a custom breeding for a young man with an interest in making his name as an owner of fine horses. However, he could never have guessed what the result would be and was not prepared to deal with such a difficult animal. After seeing the colt's behavior in the yard only a few times it was declared that he would be sold on to a (hopefully) more experienced hand and, as a result, he ended up at a Keeneland auction where he was snapped up for a relatively low price.
Transported to Hialeah Park to begin training, it can only be hoped that with training this colt will take after his parents.
PERSONALITY: Testing, territorial and strong-willed are only three words of many which could be used to describe Doom with others including arrogant, spirited and competitive. To describe him as a whole would be an impossible task, as he is a complex colt, but what does need to be known is that it takes a strong but patient hand to work with him.
He isn't aggressive towards people, although there are times when his bolshy behavior can seem it. In reality, his bravado is just that - a show. Once he bonds with the team around him and is focused on his task he is a good worker - as long as you can keep his interest and focus where it is supposed to be.
PLAY-BY: Apache Cat
RP-SAMPLE:
Doom stared at the man stood calmly at the door to his barn, dark eyes fixed and audits slicked against his skull. His breathing came in heavy breaths, his head held high as he tried to make himself bigger. This was his space, and no one came in unless he allowed it. His tassel snapped as he watched the hand move to the latch, the stranger unbolting the door the only sign the colt needed before he charged forwards, stopping just in front of the man who just laughed. No, this wasn't on. Tossing his head the colt circled and charged again but this time the man simply side-stepped him. "That's enough of that." It was a statement, not a question and this man did not flinch like people at his former home had.
It was too late to react when he realized the game the man was playing, distracting him with words as the lead rope was clipped to the halter and even though he initially resisted it did not take long for the colt to be guided to the barn door and out of the stall. The colt half-reared, front limbs striking the air but the aggression was not aimed at the man. In fact, the only guess could be that it was frustration at the world itself. "I see, that bad is it?" The colt's right ear flicked forwards now and while his movement was almost stiff it was all just in trying to make himself appear bigger, scarier. "I think it's time you had a new outlet, Doom. Today your training will begin."
