If demonic possession was real, the King of the Hill Stables would be calling an exorcist at the earliest convenience. Oncoming Storm is the kind of horse that must have some kind of horrible demon inside her. What else would explain her... Well, her entire self!
To say that storm is a handful would be an understatement. She's loud, she's feisty, and she has a constant twitch with one of her eyes that makes it look like she's always about to tip over the edge of insanity and unleash an act of psychotic murder. To be perfectly honest, it's a little unnerving. Obviously she isn't going to do such a thing (probably), but that doesn't stop everyone from being careful. You know, just in case. Storm has a habit of watching everything around her out of the corner of her twitching eye. It's pretty unnerving. It's like she's assessing you - checking you out for weaknesses, getting ready to mug you for whatever treats you have in your pocket. Considering this, it is perhaps unsurprising that, after a tremendous amount of fuss being loaded into the starting gate every single time she runs, Oncoming Storm quickly falls into the role of a pace presser when she bursts onto the track. She loves the thrill of a challenge, and she knows full well that the most feisty, competitive horses are often those that hang out at the front of the back. Storm falls behind these horses, taunting them until they push themselves too much and burn out, allowing her to whizz past them and take the lead. If there aren't any competitive horses on the track, Oncoming Storm will be forced to attempt to dog a horse that perhaps doesn't react so well. When this happens, she ends up growing incredibly frustrated. At this point, her jockey has to carefully utilise her energy - holding her back from rushing out prematurely, then letting her explode forth as soon as the other horses start making their bids for victory. |
