We'll give you one word: bossy. Tessa is a gorgeous black mare, but her attitude leaves plenty to be desired. She argues with anyone and everyone over the tiniest little details that aren't worth anything. If she could control each fluff on the head of a dandelion, she would. Everything has to be the way she wants it to be, or else she literally rolls around on the ground in a tantrum. We have to employ extra time to groom her before a training sessions because she is constantly filthy from fussing herself up over some idiotic dispute in the pasture. She can only be kept with the most docile gelding companion, and even then he invariably does something to piss her off.
Took The Night is so incredibly infuriating at times, her stubbornness is something for the book of records. She is the girl who will literally not stop until she finds that needle in the hay stack. She'll stop eating, stop drinking, she won't sleep or play until she gets exactly what she wants. Her attitude is truly something nobody wants to work with, but here we are, working with her anyway. She is abrasive towards everybody, and absolutely detests dogs. She'll allow cats so long as they toe her line, but rambunctious, happy go lucky dogs entice her to chase them around, screaming and biting. Luckily our golden retrievers are fast, and have learned to keep quite clear of this mare. There is no use on the track for her jockey to do anything but let her do her thing, which means after the tumultuous undertaking of getting her into the gate, it's letting this girl just run. She needs to be kept as a sprinter, but her incredible energy and unrelenting stubbornness let her take races wire to wire, even at the mile and slightly longer. Staff are doing everything they can to hold back the speed early on so as not to set an impossible pace, and Tessa fights her the whole way. The mare doesn't care about anybody on the track, except if they get too close to her or challenge her lead she pins her ears and burns herself out to get ahead of them. Stalkers beware - and lead hoggers are warned to take a secondary role or else face the duelling match of the year. |
