General Information
"Dusty" Registered Thoroughbred Filly Y19 Born Bay 17hh |
Refined, pristine and rare, Fine Diamond is a horse that certainly lives up to her name. Dusty would like to pretend she doesn't have a delicate side to her, as she often comes off as a rough-and-tumble kind of mare in the field or on the track. She's not afraid to engage in standoffs with other horses, and will often seem to tower over whoever seems to challenge her. However, you'll rarely find a scratch or nick on this horse. If she has to stand up for herself, Dusty's probably going to be the one to make the first "lethal" blow just to avoid this. In truth, Dusty is very meticulous and is a sucker for her spa days; the days where the grooms spend hours making her coat healthy coat shine and she gets lots of bribery in the form of apples. Dusty is a pretty relaxed horse overall, she's well behaved under saddle and never tries to act aggressive when there is a human around. She's a horse that doesn't need a chain and will walk quietly beside whoever leads her, including children. Her kind, brown eyes always look forward to seeing people walk by her stall or her field, begging to get a pet or two, maybe even a treat if she's lucky.

Racing InformationBusiness meets casual on the track for this girl. Dusty expects her humans to prep her to the tee so that she can dazzle the competition with her good looks. She walks around the paddock with a calm swagger, her tail relaxed and streaming behind her. She often takes an unimpressed look around, nothing really catching her eye until her eye catches the jockey preparing to get a leg up. As they make their way down the tunnels, her neck is bowed and tail high in the wind, her rather large ears pointed forward and locked on what's going on in front of her. The roar of the crowd often amps her up and lights a fire in her belly, but never makes her an uncontrollable ride. Fine Diamond easily took to the gates, but finds them rather annoying as she's build wider and taller than most. She finds her footing well after they open and her jockey will often guide her straight behind the leaders. It's easy for other horses to get in her way, but Dusty just treats it like it's a fly that just won't leave her alone. Something as small as a shake on the reins is all Dusty needs to know when to get it on. Her move is so quick, nobody really suspects she's coming up until she's somehow made her way with the front two runners. The homestretch is where she really shines; as soon as she switches her lead it's game over for the rest of the field. Long legs unfurl and stretch to their maximum angle, Dusty lengthens her strides like no other to surge down to the wire.
