Passi's bright chestnut coloring reflects exactly how hot his blood runs. The colt is a bit insane, we won't lie. His sire was hard to handle and at times downright ornery, while his dam was definitely hard to handle and had serious competitive issues. We don't know why we would've expected Passi to be any different. Passi is hard to handle and consistently gives everyone problems. He never stands still, which makes grooming him impossible, and possesses the kind of ferocious intelligence that leads him to be a pain in the most painful way possible, all because he just feels like it. Passi is headstrong to the max and nobody can deal with him unless they maintain absolute calm during all of his antics. The bad news, though, is that a person who survives Passi's antics is then subjected to his "hissy fits". We wish we were kidding about this one, but Passi literally throws hissy fits if he's not getting the reaction that he's searching for from his audience. If you survive even the hissy fits, then Passi settles into a kind of moody, sullen silence and will then finally listen to what you're saying and want him to do, like a chastised teenager. Passi can be a bit crazy and unmanageable, but he's ultimately survivable if you're briefed beforehand on his moods and what to expect. He's not a horse to be treated by the unwary.
Leg Type: Variable
Passi is a hot blooded crazy on the track. He'll first attract eyes because of his beautiful coloring, then because he'll start randomly rearing and bucking. He's just about unmanageable with the paddock pony, but he's absolutely unmanageable without one. The track stewards just need to make sure they have a pony that can keep up with Passi's random urges to bolt or start spitting or feeding on his pony's mane and tack. Passi is easy enough to handle in the gate if he's in there for no more than twenty seconds. He breaks like his tail is on fire, but willful Passi is then liable to take on whatever the hell position he wants. If he's feeling particularly perky, he'll shoot for the front and forecast some truly dangerous speed. If he's feeling sullen and annoyed, he might take a position right at the back and pretend to be disinterested in the race until the final quarter or so. One thing is for certain; Passi is certainly very interested in the race. Racing catches Passi's attention, and he shows the passion for which he is named - along with a healthy dose of heart - whenever he fights for the win that he desires.
