Some Attitude is exactly what this massive colt has. Another aggressive addition to the Firestone string, Archie was a handful from day one. A late acquisition to the yearling string, as soon as he stepped off the Firestone trailer he had made his presence known by taking his handler out for a joy ride, erm drag, around the farm. Slightly arrogant and stubborn, Archie could resemble a mule if he wanted to. He gets what he wants, when he wants it, not when he is told to do it. Archie is a spoiled brat, probably from being coddled too much as a foal, and has no sense of personal space. He's pushy when he wants his food, he's mouthy when it comes to grooming and is just an overall pain in the behind. Despite having an attitude, Archie loves people and being around people - it wasn't his fault that his previous owners didn't teach him manners or a sense of a personal bubble. Archie's got a huge personality to match his ever so fitting name and a lot of people have a love-hate relationship with this big guy.

To say Archie breaks badly is an understatement. It's almost as if his long, gangly legs don't know where they're supposed to go when he leaves the starting gate. It took a while for him to get the hang of it, but in every race you will always find Archie trailing the field. He manages to catch up to the field fairly quickly after starting out horribly, and cruises along, often a few paces behind the field. From the stands, it looks like he's not making any progress at all but that's the illusion of his long legs. He's a fairly simple horse to ride despite his attitude. He seems to know his job - and to him, his job is to run in a straight line and pass the other horses. His jockey rarely has to use the whip on him, only a few encouraging taps will send Archie on enough to gather enough speed to burst around the outside of the field. Archie rarely swoops up on the inside, you can always find the large chestnut colt rocketing towards the finish line on the outside, proudly wearing Firestone colours.
