IRON MAN #1905
Nickname: Iron
Age: Six Year Old (Y7)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour: Dapple Grey
Height: 15.3hh
Gender: Gelding
Personality:
Unlike his name, Iron Man is not so impenetrable as you would think. Iron is a bit unpredictable as he spooks, a lot. His name probably came from his build, which is very compact and muscular. He's got bundles of blazing speed; it's really just a matter, of getting him to use it. Iron is super respectful to riders who deserve his respect, and those being the riders who don't yank on his mouth 24/7 to slow him down, which is why you should usually put a petite, but experienced rider on his back. He wants to please and will do anything for a respectful rider that lets him have his head and doesn't smack him with a whip. Using the whip on Iron does more harm than good and he'll usually drift out A LOT in the opposite direction if you whip him. This is why his riders also just use their hands and voice to urge him forward.
Pedigree: Created x Created

Grade: 5
Dirt: Great

Racing Style:
Iron Man likes to shoot away from the gate as quick as possible and go right to the front of the pack. He won't wear himself out if someone comes up and tries to challenge him. He'll give up the lead easily. The only reason he's in front is because it's more comforting to him; he's not the courageous type to be able to weave through a pack of horses. He's quick and with a bit of encouragement will pick up his speed and challenge the rest of the horses at the end of the race, using his speed to overtake and beat other horses.
