Personality
A bit of a snot, he'll be the one to try and take the lead. He needs a firm hand, not to break his will, but to just teach him to mind his 'manners'. Fire is like his namesake, lively! He isn't hostile, but has tons of life and energy. It's essential that he is worked on a consistent basis. Needless to say, his vast energy makes him an astounding racehorse. When on the track, he has a lithe motion to his step. He's very good about staying focused, but occasionally needs that firm hand to check him every so often. As time has progressed we've discovered that this flame licked boy prefers to run in the front, but has a secret weapon. Though running in the lead he doesn't get run off his feet and has an amazing finish style. Right before the final furlong he kicks instantly into another gear to whisk by the wire and catch his challengers by surprise.
Pedigree Information
Firebird, is horse racing royalty in our eyes. The sire, Oddside on lease from SpiritedBrumby, is one of the last of a long line of famous Stormwing foals. The grandsire of Oddside is none other than Spotted By a Star, the famous SS Mission Impossible son! Fire's dam is not without prestige either though. She is the dam of Santana, the famous WB racing filly! Her pedigree is well backed with horses such as Unbridled, one of the RL top leading sires of winners. With such a pedigree we expect greatness from this fiery colt and he seems to know it.
