Shanty is a rather special horse. Although he was his dam's second foal there were plenty of complications came along with the pregnancy that led up to his eventual birth. The colt was a small, tiny thing and many didn't think he'd survive. After weeks of being cooped up in a stall at the local equine hospital Shanty ended up pulling through and was finally reunited with his dam back at Kennington Farm. The time spent away from his mother at such a young age had an affect on the horse and he's a become a bit of a cribber growing up. The colt is one of the only horses here that needs a cribbing collar but it only helps him so much.
He's a nervous horse and always watch the world around through wide eyes, the whites almost always showing. At home he doesn't like to be alone and would sooner want to be babied then out in the pasture by himself. Since he was bottle-fed for a good portion of his young life he expects the same with his feed and has become rather needy as a result. Although he has his anxious moments, he's a kind, lovable horse and wants to please his handlers just as much as anyone else. He keeps trying and trying until he gets it done right and never gives up. Considered a nervous-wreck at home, Shanty changes his song and dance come race day. He pockets the baby face for his game face and more often than not, people don't recognise him when he's away from home. When he as a job that needs to be done, this horse is focused and distances himself emotionally from the other horses before loading into the starting gates. As soon as the gates open he breaks brilliantly and physically distances himself from the other horses then, securing a position at the front of the pack. We still don't understand how this horse manages to get rid of his anxieties when he's racing but we guessed it's because he knows he has a job that needs to be done. Normally a sweet, in your pocket kinda horse he becomes defensive and aggressive on the track. If a horse gets too close or tries to pass him, he'll flatten his ears and dig deeper within himself to find that extra bit of energy to maintain that lead. It's not unusual to see him run from wire to wire without showing any signs of letting up. |
