Sylvia is a gentle, kind filly with a heart of gold that makes her very endearing. Her soft, outgoing nature makes her a favorite with the handlers and she forms bonds easily with people around her. Given that when out in the pasture she will often be at the edge, greeting visitors and enjoying attention, it is no wonder that she is liked by most of the barn's visitors, too. She has been described as amiable and sociable in the past. Sylvia has a great curiosity about the world. She is always watching, always willing to try new things, and very little seems to upset her. Changes of environment tend to have minimal effect on her and her courage is clear in everything she does. While it may sound off to say that a horse is highly motivated that is very much the case for Sylvanite. Upon watching her out on the track or even galloping in her paddock, one can automatically tell that this filly has an internal drive, a want to succeed. Many people may want to believe that she's just a pretty little thing that has a gorgeous stride and nothing else, but Sylvanite has speed and smarts and this helps her greatly when she's out on the tracks going up against other horses.
