Information
Personality
Carnelian had a rough start to life. His dam had trouble during the delivery and died soon after Carnelian was born. He was very sickly and weak for the first few months, and few expected him to survive. Several grooms loved the little colt and took excellent care of him, bottle feeding him, giving him necessary vitamins, taking him for walks, grooming him and loving him. Within a few months he began to flourish and started filling out. He loves playing and has a very goofy loveable personality off-track. He loved his small group of grooms that doted on him. He became somewhat spoiled and didn't take to well to training. He prefered to hangout, get scratches and treats. After many months of working with him, his trainers finally managed to get him on the track. It was a small training track, with only a few other youngsters working out. As soon as he stepped on the track and realized what it was for, he became a totally different horse. He fought for his head, hard, wanting to race by all the others. He pinned his ears at passing horses and hated to stop. His trainers were pleasantly surprised at his competitive on-track demeanor. Carnelian has amazing stamina, and once he finds his pace, he can keep it well. He tends to try for the lead as soon as the gate opens but is always held back. He is most successful when he stays behind the leaders and is let go on the homestretch. He becomes very headstrong on the track and hates being told what to do. He usually throws a fit while entering the gate but stands calmly after he is all the way in. Once a race is finished he goes back to his goofy treat demanding self. Even though he was never gelded, and there aren't any plans to do so, he behaves exceptionally for a young colt.
