Royal Cadenza is arrogant right down to the core. He believes that he is the best there is and won't hear a word otherwise. He is full of fire, always up for a fight to the finish and a battle in a race to the wire. He is so prideful that he will run himself into the ground to take what he wants. Caden is never one to recognize that he's lost. In his mind, he's never not been number one, even though Caden has never truly been the number one horse in his life. Caden's pride makes him selfish. He cares only about himself - his dinner, his workout, his ride to glory. Even his rider rarely manages to crack his selfish shell and see the real horse beneath. Caden is very concerned with a daily routine. He needs his workout at a specific time in the morning and his dinner at a specific time as well. Anything late will result in a fierce bite. Anything early yields similar results. The fussy colt is definitely high maintenance. When on the track, Caden loves to show off. If there's a large crowd, there is no other horse more prancy out there. A smaller crowd results in a more lazy and bored Caden. When faced with competition, Caden's prideful side shows through. He will never yield easily and will always try his hardest to win. He doesn't take losses well; this may not outwardly show, but those that know him can tell the difference between a satisfied and smug Caden and a pissed off one.
Leg Type: Stalker/Mid Pack
Caden has an average break that settles him right into the middle of the pack, just behind the leaders. For some reason, Caden loves associating himself with the greatest bulk of horses in the field early on. He wants to be in and among others early on and doesn't want to be by himself. When running, Caden is calm and even joyful. He really knows how to run over the turf, and no wonder - it's in his blood. Caden is obedient to his jockey when running, which came as a great surprise to us when he rode through his first workouts. He becomes open to suggestion and even listens to what they are, with no fuss at all. He waits for the signal and then he goes when it is given, accelerating mightily and giving it his all as he swings for home and a potential trip to the winners' circle. It is typical of Caden to either go wide on the final turn or to split in between horses, finding spaces that nobody else knew existed and plowing right through to take the lead. Caden thrives off of challenges and thrives even more off of winning. Not winning is practically unhealthy for this colt.
