Last Ran: November Week Three Leg Type: Closer Theus acts no differently on the track than he does off of it. He is just as proud and just as arrogant. Theus always catches eyes on his way to the gate. There is something in the prideful way he carries himself that always gets him attention during the post parade. Theus loads into the gate as though it is beneath him. However, he is always off half a beat later than the rest of the field. This doesn't deter the router-oriented Theus, though. He just takes a position right at the back, pretty as you please, regardless of how slow the break is. He doesn't care about what the pace at the front is throughout the race, but he never strays more than fifteen lengths from the leaders. That fifteen lengths gradually becomes ten, then five. Once the race hits the final half mile, Theus begins his closing charge. He likes to get in front early and then stave off the challengers that come up in the latter stages of the race. Theus relishes being challenged - in fact, there can be no worse decision made on the part of his competition than to challenge him, for it is only then that all of his true speed comes out. Theus will drive himself into the ground to get the win if challenged. He loves to win be open margins and lets the competition spur him on into doing so. This is a horse that thrives off of competition rather than crumbles in the wake of it. |
nobility becomes meTheus is the king. He is a mirror-image of his sire in many ways. First of all, he carries himself in the same fashion - fierce, with the pride of a lion in his heart. He backs down from no horse and anything he encounters is greeted with the same neutral façade. Nothing deters him from his path, a trait inherited from both sire and dam. When Theus walks, it is with a kingly strut. He never walks like an ordinary horse, preferring to stride with dignity and pride. All he needs is a scepter and a crown to complete his image. Theus is healthily arrogant, to the point where it is not annoying but its not unnoticeable either. Theus loves to be treated with special care by humans. He loves grooming more than any other horse we have and could spend hours dozing with a brush coasting across his skin. He loves to look his best at all times and does not tolerate being dirty. With other horses, Theus makes it clear that he stands apart. He will never hold himself subordinate to another and would prefer to fight rather than accept a position lower on the totem pole. Theus is built rock solid with layers of muscle and knows how to use his bulk if necessary to get what he wants, but he is not a very physical horse. His is the power of a horse that just comes with the territory - it is not earned through his brute physicality but through grace.
