Vet is an interesting combination between his parents. His sire is full of fire and get-up-and-go, whereas Blanchette is more laid back and easy to handle. What Intrepid was going for was a foal that had the class of Blanchette and the determination of Mockingbird and that is exactly what they got in Vetanda. The first thing people obviously notice about Vet is his coloring. He is a stunning white, blanketed with splashes of chestnut all over his coat, but it really isn't this colt's looks that got Carter interested, rather it is the way Vet carries himself. When Nick Landing of Intrepid Racing came to Carter offering Firestone a chance at this colt, the 28 year old trainer could not resist. Vet always has his head carried high, wherever he goes he owns the space that he's in and horses and people alike can't help, but follow him with their eyes. There isn't much that intimidates Vet, but rather he has an innate desire to explore and solve and once a riddle or a problem is placed before him, he won't give up until he finds a clever solution. Determined is one word that really this colt envelops. He is determined in everything that he does to stand out and be noticed, but he never has to work too hard to do that.
When it comes to other horses, Vet likes to take a quiet commanding presence. Some of the more vocal horses in his crop think that they run the show, but often they are only reacting to his subtle manipulations. He won't take the path of fighting initially, but if he is outright disrespected or challenged he will swiftly put the intruder in their place. Vet loves to have a sense of order about him and he is very diligent in maintaining the balances in the herd. He is very quick to pick up on subtle changes in people and horses and therefore knows how to respond accordingly to fix or enhance a situation. This definitely comes in handy when on the racetrack. He is such a good read of others, that he can usually read in a horse's body language the mood they're in and also anticipate their moves.
