Personality: Sam is an excitable horse. He rarely stands still. He's not an easy horse to lead, always bumping into you or stepping on toes. Tacking him up's an issue though, though he can be bribed to stand still then with a mint. He'll do just about anything for a mint, though we have to be careful to not feed him too many. He thinks he's the boss of the Y16 crop, though it doesn't take Connor long to put Sam back in his place (not that it stops the colt). Remi and him are as thick as thieves and if you see one, you'll generally see the other not too far behind. Sam hates birds. Whether they're flying overhead or in the next pasture over, he thinks they're going to eat him. Not even his beloved mints can convince him to move if he sees one.

For all his excitement, Sam is actually a calm horse once he sees the starting gate. He'll go into the gate like a seasoned horse, even if the other horses are acting up. There's been a couple of times when he almost falls asleep, but that hasn't happened yet. He prefers to be in the thick of the pack during a race. He breaks from the gate quickly, though he is content to let the frontrunners of the race take the lead. Why waste his energy fighting for the front when he'll get there at some point anyway? As the horses reach the homestretch, he makes his move, his long strides propelling him smoothly over the turf.
