Personality:
Transient is a big thinker. His tendency to pause before reacting wasn't too much of a surprise, what with how neither of his parents were particularly impulsive or flighty either. What is perhaps a little odd, though, is how he stand stock still for long periods of time, staring into space as he is seemingly trapped within his own thoughts. The exact nature of his contemplations are unknown, but staff like to imagine that if he were human, he would be a great philosopher, rivalling even the ancient Greek greats in the field of reasoned logic.
But don't be tricked by how he pauses before he acts, because he is thinking. Perhaps he will take a moment to respond to a call for food, or maybe he doesn't instantly acknowledge the presence of another horse, but when he does react, he does so with precision and polite grace. It seems undeniable that Transient is a very intelligent horse - albeit one that is easily won over with a carrot and a scratch behind his ear.
It took a while to get this horse used to the starting gate. He's clever but he's still a horse, and so, when he was first introduced to it, he took one look and deemed it a terrifying monster. Teaching him otherwise took longer than expected. He understood that the monster wasn't moving, yes, but what if it moved later? But eventually Transient got the idea, and now he barely bats and eyelid at it -walking in easily and without any fuss at all.

Surface Preference: Turf
Distance: 5-10 Furlongs (2f ext) Grade: Maiden Trainer: Steve Wilson Jockey: TBD Leg Type: Front Runner A lot of people would assume that such a thoughtful horse would choose to run towards the back of the pack, watching his competitors before making his move against them. Such an idea seems sensible, but it would be incorrect. During a race is the one time when Transient seems to let loose and act on impulse. The second the gates open, he makes a dash to the front of the group - ears pinned back as he refuses to let anybody else take the lead. Transient runs like he's sized up every other horse in the race and decided that he can beat them easily and, well, perhaps he has! This confidence powers him on until the finish line where, once crossed and he has slowed back to a reasonable pace, he once again becomes a careful, contemplating figure. |
