Personality.
Missy really is a sweet girl, and she has a lot of the traits you'd expect in a shy, quiet animal. She's easy to love, with big, dark, softly expressive eyes that seem to see right through you. Hard handling will get you nowhere with this filly - praise and easy hands are the way to go. A harsh word sends her sulking, and if she's around too much harshness she'll withdraw. She's very forgiving, though, and will open up to anyone who gives her the right kind of attention. She's the sort of filly that works her way into your heart very easily. From the cuddling to her adorable, curious face, she's definitely a favorite of the staff as well as those that visit the farm. She's open and trusting, and will come to the crowd at the fence where other horses stay away. She's great with children, and doesn't seem bothered with their tugging and pinching and patting as long as it doesn't really hurt. She seems to be a very empathetic sort of animal. If someone's in pain emotionally, she'll go to them. While she can't really be a therapist as a horse, many find their way to her stall if they're facing turmoil. She's also great with abused-type animals. Her soft manner gives them a friend when they may be scared of humans. While she is very trusting of her handlers, she definitely has a skittish side. She doesn't like bright, flashy objects, so sunny days can find her being very distracted. Sometimes it's an issue, and sometimes it's not - it really just depends on her mood. In the field Missy's pretty submissive, since she's not a very physically dominant animal. She doesn't like pain, so she submits. But that doesn't mean she's not competitive - put her in a situation where she can best others without any backlash, like running, and she's more than willing. Her rider's will is a big factor as well, because she's willing to do just about anything for her rider. However, they have to remember to be very soft with her mouth - if she's tugged on too much, she starts refusing the bit and that's not fun for anyone. As long as she's having fun, this filly's definitely one to watch.

Missy's a little skittish around the gates, but she's got a lot of trust in humans and will go in with a little coaxing. She's completely distracted and unfocused while she waits, which means she generally breaks half a stride behind the others. She settles toward the back of the pack, unhurried as long as her rider is. She'll start gaining a little down the backstretch, but she's a late closing sort - she's got a lot of speed but not the stamina to maintain it for long, so she's held until about a furlong, furlong and a half depending before she's let loose. From there she rockets forward, putting down her competition until she comes out on top.
