Horses personality

[Frior Dir]

Will each horse have a personality like energetic,dominant and character sleepy,agitated and so forth?.Coz in real life horses performance and training is affected based on their current state

Thanks

Right now the only personality trait we have is Temperament. Some horses are quite calm while others are much more spirited. These do factor in to competitions. We probably won't add in other temperaments right now but it could be a possibility down the road.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of certain temperaments?

[larissar]

A spirited horse will have more drive, more 'go', something that would be better suited to racing or jumping events for example, but could be a problem in some events like western pleasure or hunters, where a calm horse might be better suited.

Temperament can also be affected by what a horse eats too. If you feed a horse a high sugar diet (lots of oats for example) then you are likely to make him a bit more high strung, where as a low energy food could have the opposite effect. You can't completely override a horses natural temperament just by adjusting his diet, but you can help gear the horse more towards whatever discipline you are training for.
