Grey's Wisdom

Personality
Whisper is, by nature, a nervous horse. Anything new is a potential danger, and his flight instinct has always far outweighed his fight one. However, he's been introduced to more and more "scary" things, and as he becomes more familiar, his scared episodes happen less and less and he is altogether more comfortable in his environment. This comfort shows even in his record. Skittish and uncomfortable at two, Whisper has really begun to come into his own, showing that his poor juvenile record had absolutely nothing to do with skill. Underneath the fear was a noble and gentle horse just waiting to be uncovered, and he's all the better for it. Whisper is spirited but no longer truly scared, light on his toes and more likely to walk sideways on a lead than straight. He will never be an incredibly curious horse, but he is interested in the world
around him. The less scared he is of it, the more bold he is - the wrapper in someone's pocket isn't a snake trying to bite him, but a barrier between his teeth and a potential snack. Whisper is still a little nervous on race day, prancing alongside the track pony, but he doesn't work up a big sweat anymore from it. Altogether, he really is a good boy, and has become a big sweetheart of the barn.
