Effie is quite the shy mare, and very very sensitive to pressure. At the bottom of the pecking-order, she has far more 'flight' response than she does 'fight', and if she's not handled gently she can be known to work herself up into a state of anxiety; almost to the point where she will shiver where she stands. However if she is handled correctly, her yield to pressure can be used to work in her favor, as she will give you her all if her reward is simply to be allowed rest and the reassurance of a job well done. She's always walking on egg shells and feels like everyone is always out to get her, but after a year at Grayson Meadows the filly has warmed up to a few of the staff members and is slowly beginning to trust people around her. With her being so timid you would think there was no way she could ever be a race horse. Well, Effie rejoices in her speed and she loves the game of catch me if you can in the stretch. She does come with a very fair amount of little quirks though, for one thing she seems to rather dislike men, and much rather prefers to be handled by a woman than a man. When riding her, her jockey never uses a whip. Effie relies much more on sound and pressure and when it's time to go in the stretch.

Effie most certainly has the speed to win, yet the only trick to getting the filly in first place is understanding her mind set and knowing how to use her sensitivity. She is of moderate speed when it comes to breaking from the gates, but regardless of where it puts her, she will always feel the pressure of those behind her and choose to fall back. It's wise to allow her to do this, as she will begin to level out her anxiety and become more focused when she is calmer; usually choosing to sit behind the pack for the duration of her start. Closer to the end of the race, she prefers to be brought to the outside of the pack, where it's roomy/open, and it is now that her sensitive nature comes into play. Getting stuck into her here will unharness the striking speed she chooses to so shyly keep hidden away until the very end, and often when she's presumed out of the race, her ability to unleash her energy at the last moment can be more than enough to fire her towards the front of the pack unexpectedly.
