Russ was always a maturely sound colt. He never pitched a fuss or got too out of control. He was stubborn at times, but that was only if he didn't get his way. He is a gentle soul, but can be a bit timid and pull at the bit, wanting to get his way. He was a joy in the barn. He always eagerly awaited treats or gentle pats on the neck. He gets startled easily by loud noises or certain smells. He would be the one to let you know if there were ever a barn fire. He is aware of his surroundings and adjusts well to new things. He is a leader of the young colts and teaches them how to keep in line and not go overly sporadic.
Leg Type: Closer
Russ is a laid back paddock horse. He takes in the sights and the crowds. He doesn't make a fuss to catch anybody's attention. He's just...Russ. He loads into the gate like a pro. He never had a problem with the contraption, not like most colts. He really could care less about it. Out of the gate he shoots straight forward and settles on the rail, either right behind the leaders or near the rear. He is most comfortable being dead last, if he has it his way. When the stretch opens out before him, he pours all his heart and soul into that straightaway run. He is an incredible closer and always pulls in one of the strongest finishes ever witnessed.
