Point At Me was born flashy and cold. He's gorgeous to look at - his particular shade of chestnut is quite eye-catching - but unlike the other attention hogs of this crop, Po is cold. He doesn't tolerate human contact all too well and epitomizes "look, don't touch". You are welcome to admire him from afar, but keep your hands to yourself. Po is liable to bare his teeth if you get too close and aren't welcome there. He seems more bark than bite, having refrained from actually doing more than a nip on someone's arm or finger, but it's still best to stay away. To approach Po, approach from the front. He's like a hippogriff; he needs to approve you before you get close. Once he's had a good look at you, he'll glance away in disinterest, and that's your sign that it's safe to come by. Po doesn't tolerate treats and seems to consider them beneath him. He's not very good with other horses, either. They tend to steer clear of him instinctively, and Po can often be found alone in his corner of the pasture gazing out over the farm as though he's the only one there. He's a king who needs no subjects, a horse for you to admire but never try anything with. He was a bit terrifying to break and teach to race, but once he learned the name of the game Po was a natural. He's an effortless runner with the buckets of stamina we'd expect from a horse with his pedigree.
Leg Type: Variable - Anywhere Alone
Po is a very strange horse in a race. He disdains the presence of the rest of the field and seeks to run his races wherever there aren't any other horses. Tons of horses at the front? Po will go towards the back, disdaining their pace setting ways and biding his time. Everybody everywhere but the front? Po will take it and draw off on the rest, opening up about two lengths before settling as the pace setter. He will run effectively as long as there's no other horses around him. They're free to breathe down his neck from a length back, but any closer and Po will either accelerate or decelerate in order to shake them off. Po tends to spend the race being a loner, attracting little attention until the latter stages. Given his cue, Po comes alive, whipping up to top speed and rolling to the lead. He likes to make as devastating a move as possible to leave the others behind as quickly as he can, and once he gets going there's few things that can stop this speed demon of a horse. He's the type who adores the winners' circle, where he can be admired but not touched all too much, before winding back down in his "kingdom" back at the barn.
