Psychological type

The Platina horse considers  itself above all others, both human and equine and at the top of the stable hierarchy and in charge. This manifests as an arrogant, haughty nature where others are of no consequence whatsoever.

Their egocentric nature means they will push past you or any other animal as if you were not there. Frustration can boil over to anger with violent outbursts or hysterical behaviour that can be challenging and dangerous and may even result in injuries so beware, they watch you with contempt.
