Personality: Zachary is unpredictable. One minute he's fine with you on his back, and the next, you're on the ground. He'll be fine with other horses around him, and then he won't be. Some days he's fine with the clippers near his ears, and others, he thinks that they're going to eat him. Every morning it's a mystery as to which side of him you're going to get. Hence why he was gelded. Thankfully it's mellowed him out a bit, though he's still unpredictable. The one good thing we can say about him is that he does not care who's on his back. He's easygoing in that aspect. He likes to rub his head on whatever's closest whenever the bridle or halter comes off. A nearby fence post, another horse, or even whoever's unlucky enough to stand near him.
Whereas he's unpredictable off the track, he's much more levelheaded on it. There's no highjinks here for him to pull. Although he will act up in the post parade and when loading into the starting gate every once in a while. Gotta remind everyone of his usual personality. He is the type of horse to burst out the gates and go straight for the lead. But he doesn't leave lengths in between the other horses and himself, preferring to stay close to the pack. He hates being behind other horses and he'll get flustered if he suddenly finds himself in the back of the pack. He's not afraid to get into speed duels if there's another horse vying for the lead. Of course, he sometimes gets so focused on beating the other horse, that he doesn't always notice if there's other horses coming up alongside them. As they enter the stretch though, that's when he'll pull away from the others, almost joyfully, charging forward as if being at the front of the pack took nothing out of him
