Even-tempered and eager to please, Ticking Timebomb - known as Ben on the yard, after the clock Big Ben - is the sweetheart of the stable, often being snuck treats and receiving extra pats. The only thing that Ben doesn't tolerate is the farrier - and even that can be worked around with a little attention being given to him in order to create a distraction. Mints are his favourite treat, and offering out a couple of them at regular intervals is usually more than enough to keep him happy while the farrier works on his hooves.
He adores the company of both horses and humans and can become miserable if left alone for too long. Because of this, he constantly has a companion by his side - a small Shetland by the name of Scottie. The two are the best of friends and are near on inseparable. They go everywhere together, including to races. The iconic duo even have matching blankets for when they need a little extra warmth. Ticking Timebomb has always shown a preference for long distance, stamina over speed. His running style is very much to hold back just a little - starting slow and steady - and then, when his opponents begin to flag, to let loose and make a last minute dash for the front with a sudden burst of speed. During a race, he's very stable and hard to spook; focusing on what's ahead instead of letting every bump and sound distract him. This makes him a pleasure to race, causing him to have nothing but compliments from the jockeys that ride him. |
