Personalities
Personalities are revealed through foal training and are used in careers. Each horse has 4 personality traits:
- Gregariousness
- Predictability
- Reactivity
- Sensitivity
Within each of these traits there are 3 labels that give you your horse’s specific personality.
For example:
Gregariousness has the sub-traits of Loner, Sociable, and Clingy. Each horse will have 1 of these 3 sub-traits to describe its personality.
Sub Traits
Gregariousness | Loner (L) | Sociable (S) | Clingy (C) | |
Predictability | Predictable (P) | Lively (L) | Abrupt (A) | |
Reactivity | Uncaring (U) | Neutral (N) | Touchy (T) | |
Sensitivity | Oblivious (O) | Attentive (A) | Hyper Aware (H) |
Using these labels, horses are given a letter string to describe their personality. Is your horse a CATO? Maybe a LLNA?
Unrevealed Personality
Horses that did not have personality revealed as a foal must be tested at the vet. This costs $150 per trait to reveal. Both foundations and custom horses have their personality auto revealed when purchased.
Breeding Personality
Foals inherit their parents personality as an average for the sire and dam with a small variation. This means personalities can be bred for rather than random!
Personality in Careers
The career score calculation heavily weights the personality stats. Each career has an ideal personality which determines if your horse is suited for the career. Horses that are not suited for the career will not score well and may even not be paid.
TLDR:
- Personality is revealed through foal training.
- Personality can be bred with the average of the parents +/- some.
- Personalities are heavily used in careers and determine what career your horse is best at.
