PERSONALITY: Spitz is a cute horse with a lot of heart. He adores his daily baths. He loves water and loves to roll and play in some nice sloppy mud. It is very hard on his grooms since he is almost completely white but we all love his cute antics anyway. Spitz is a very sweet stallion, we were surprised to see how calm he was. He loves to impress people and will try his hardest at everything you ask him to do. However you have to ask politely or he won’t put his heart into it.
Racing Spirit
Even though Spitz is a very calm stallion he seems to have his mind on only one thing: racing. He does not like having other horses in front of him. He will let out a blast of speed to get out to the front of the pack and once you think he has nothing left he will surprise you with even more speed. He loves the mud and loves to run while it’s raining. It gets him excited. He likes to run on sloppy dirt tracks or on the turf tracks. Fast dirt tracks are not really his thing because the pace is too tiring on him and he finds it to be quite boring. In mud, however, he’ll run his heart out.
Spitz has surprised all of us with his racing talent that no know knew he had. He has been doing great so far and deserves all the credit. We are very proud of him.
