Personality: Brittany is the leader of sorts of the Y19 foal crop (of the fillies, at least). She's made it quite clear since the day we brought her home from the auction, that she was in charge, which put her at odds with Thundercat. They've managed to work things out for the most part though. With her, it's not a matter of if she can behave, but whether she's willing to do so that day or not. She's smart enough that it doesn't take her long to catch on to what's being asked of her, which has come back to bite us sometimes. You have to ask her, not command her, and even then, it's not a guarantee. She's also pretty spoiled in that in a good portion of days, you have to bribe her to do something. Apples are a good bet with her, since she'll do just about anything for them. She's figured out that she can manipulate us into giving her one whenever she wants (which has led to us having to ration them).
Once she sets foot on the track, she becomes a show-off (not that she isn't that already). She'll prance around before a race, tossing her head, as if she thinks that all the attention is on her. But once she gets in the gate, she calms down, standing still even if the horses beside her are acting up. Why do the same when it'll just prevent her from getting onto the track quicker? Once the gates open, she's content to stay at the back of the pack, trailing in last if she has to. But not from lack of interest in running. She doesn't take well to being hustled and has no interest in running faster than she needs to. It's her way or the highway, regardless of what her rider wants. The horses ahead will tire at some point, and then she'll overtake them, usually making her move near the middle of the race. At that point, then the jockey can guide her to where she needs to go.
