Personality.
Spitter has the personality of her sire and the running style of her dam. She is a good mix of breeding and has surprised her riders with her talent. She's got a good, playful personality, and it endears her to the staff. She seems to love water, and is drawn to it in any form. In fact, she got her nickname Spitter because of this. Whenever we try to give her a bath, light spray down or even work her in the therapeutic pool she opens her mouth as wide as possible and tries to catch as much water in her mouth as she can. When she drinks, she's likely to dribble water all over anyone nearby - if she shakes her head, she'll get those that aren't nearby. She seems to like the reaction from her victims, so it's only made the habit worse. Spitter is a very willing filly, and will do pretty much anything that is asked of her. She is easy to get along with, and seems to have an empathetic side - she seems to sense sadness, and is extra affectionate to those in need. While she might not be the most competitive creature, she's so willing and responsive to her riders, especially those she cares for, that it puts her right up with the best of them in talent. She's a fantastic horse - the kind that captures the imagination and leaves you breathless. We're excited where it will take her.

Spitter is a gem to gate, though she tends to get a little distracted while she's in - she tries to play with the gate attendants. Because of this, she tends to break a half-step late, and she very rarely sees the front of the pack in a race. Instead she settles in behind the leaders, eyes set and muscles tense and ready to spring. More than wanting to chase, it's wanting to please - she's waiting that intently for a cue from her rider, and she's ready to run at any time. When she is given the cue, she charges ahead, giving back everything her rider asks for and more. She has seemingly endless amounts of energy and drive - her heart would give out before she gave up.
