Despite his parents, this colt is oddly quiet and easy to handle. This colt has a gentle heart and a sweet temper. He loves pretty much all females, though has some issues with males. He can get moody, but never really acts on it - pinning his ears and being somewhat difficult to catch for guys is the worse it gets. Refute is a steady horse and is like a shadow. Aside from his little issues with guys, he doesn't act out at all. In fact, he's an incredibly quick learner. The colt seems to possess a high IQ. His attitude makes him one of the favorites to work with, especially under saddle - he doesn't even act up with guys then. The colt is a sleeper and tends to get on the lazy side, but a lot of the best racehorses have been the same way. If they love the run, they don't need to act like an idiot. The colt is wide in the front and powerful in the haunches, looking like a mirror image of his formerly popular sire. Refute is a careful horse, but he is not spooky.
