Discordance is eerily similar to his sire, the incredibly talented miler Sweet Dreams. Discord is haughty, domineering, territorial, and seems more like he should be twenty hands high than a little over sixteen. He is the alpha in every situation, no exception. He is very hard to handle and requires a strong rider with a fierce will whom he can respect, or else Discord will not and never will do what is asked of him. He is not the brightest, but makes up for that with muscle and will that sees him through to the end of any pursuit he commits to. Not one to get along with others, Discord is frequently isolated, as he has been known to be aggressive and physical with his stablemates. Despite this isolation, Discord views the horses he would otherwise attempt to knock into or bite as his subjects, those to be ruled over from the sanctity of his stall. His princely antics, however, can be overcome with a good grooming session or ear scratch, during which Discord will actually relax and shed his haughty demeanor for once.
Leg Type: Stalker
Discord never likes to be far from the action on the track. He'll throw a rear or two in the post parade, insists on being warmed up separately from the others, and always needs to be loaded last, but once those gates open he is a dream to ride. Similarly to his sire, Discord is easy to ride perfectly, every time. He almost seems to have supernatural senses for when openings will appear on the track or for what the most efficient path to the front is. Discord views winning as an assertion of dominance and therefore guns for it every time. He does not take losing well at all, often sulking moodily after and impossible to handle for a day or two until he gets back to a regular training routine. Discord will stalk the leaders from the start of a race and then spring for victory around the final turn. He has a tremendous ability to rate his speed and never let the front runners get far enough away that he can't close the gap, and he is more than happy to dig deep in the final stretch if it means securing the victory he covets.
