About |
|
Olio is just like his name suggests, a 'bear'. He's built like a tank and even though he is not the tallest horse, his powerful hind end and deep chest make him seem menacing. He can be rather rough with other colts but usually only uses it as a ploy to show his dominance. On the track, Olio like to take charge immediately and lead from gate to wire. He has an extreme sense of pride and will fight anyone who tries to challenge him for the lead in a race. Outside of the track, the black stallion is a loving boy who always wants to be in your lap. Even though he can be aggressive during a race, Olio would never hurt a fly and would much rather be your best friend then your enemy.

Grade One Dual Surfaced 9-12 Furlongs Front Runner Olio explodes from the gate powerfully and sets fast pace right off the bat. He will lead the field throughout the entire race and even likes to open up some space between him and the other horses as he does not like having anyone close to him. He picks off his challengers and has a rather large amount of stamina to fend them off. |
