Horse Personalities
What is a personality?
A Horses personality is a major factor in how a horse performs and breeds. There are an array of different personality types with different abilities.
For example, When you see a horse mentioned in chat as RRRRR it is a description of the horses personality. The letter indicates where the personality slider is on the horse, as demonstrated in the photo below.
You can find the personality bar by going to Horses->View My Horses->Choose Horse From List->Personality & Talents or by clicking on the horse you want in it's stall->info->Personality & Talents.
