Gabe is a very flirty and lovable boy around the barn and was known for constantly following his groomers around the barn. Yes, Gabe used to be let out of his stall and allowed to walk around the grounds without supervision. There was no need to watch the colt as he was always aware of where he was and rarely got into a spot he could not get out of. Now that he is growing up and developing stud-dish tendencies, Gabe is kept in a large stall and spends much of his day pacing in the attached paddock. He is constantly following females (horse and human) around trying to get some attention and has the ladies-man feel to him.
The only time he really stands still is when he is being groomed and has apple treats to munch on. Even then he can only stay put for a few minutes before twitching his tail or wavering on the cross ties. Out in the pasture Gabe is truly still a weanling at heart and often runs laps around the other horses in an effort to persuade them to join in. There is only one thing that Gabe is fearful of and the stable hands learned long ago never to lead him by the cows in the pastures next door. He seems the shut down all logic in his brain and gives into the fight-or-flight instinct. On the track he turns unrecognizable and lets his dam's side take over. He is forceful and makes sure his jockey knows who is in charge. |

RACE HISTORY |
|
On his good days, the bay will calmly walk up to the gate and slip right in without any hesitation. Once inside he is surprisingly calm but gets impatient if other horses are taking too long. He breaks cleanly, though not the fastest, and lets the other horses get ahead of him. Being in the back of the pack is his favorite place to be and from here he will study the group and analyze when he needs to make adjustments. Despite what he lets his jockey know, Gabe is always in charge and will blatantly ignore a command from his rider if he thinks it is the better move. Once they start approaching the last turn the colt explodes from his closing position and likes to pass the competition up on the outside. He mentally closes in on the leaders and will do anything to get ahead of them.
