Rough and ready, Saxon is a colt who can (and often does) take a knock or two without it really phasing him. He is a boisterous horse, often tussling with others in the pasture and while not exactly domineering he does seem to be somewhat of a leader in the pasture. But while he does seem to form strong bonds with other horses, he doesn't seem all that bothered about people. In fact, he has very little time for them. Saxon is a hard colt to work with. He crowds, steps on toes, and doesn't have much respect for people. When he becomes agitated he will kick and bite and make it known just how unhappy he is. He isn't quick to respond to food either, and appeasing him is more easily achieved by putting him in the pasture or otherwise giving him an outlet for his energy - a jolly ball has been known to help with this. After a hard day's work, Saxon enjoys a good hose down. In fact, he plays in the water stream and is almost a different horse in this setting.
Saxon loves the track, becoming excited prior to a race, and has been known to buck and rear on the way down to the starting gate. This can make loading difficult but once he is in the gate he gains more focus. His break is not phenomenal. This is not a horse that darts out of the gate like a bullet. Instead it is slower and he finds a spot in the middle of the pack where he stays throughout the race.
Saxon is a strong horse, he handles the bumps that can come with being in the middle of the pack well, and he holds his cool through the race slowly moving up from around half way through the race and never allowing the front runners to get too far ahead. Once he's in the stretch, a single crack of the whip and he is flying forwards, seeking gaps and making the most of opportunities. Saxon is a fiery horse and isn't about to be beaten easily, he may have a battle getting his head out front but he isn't about to give up.
