General Information
"Gaia" Registered Thoroughbred Filly Y19 Born Liver Chestnut 16.1hh |
Gallant Charm is as charming as they come....with some emotional baggage to boot. Gaia loves to live life to the fullest and takes the saying "live fast, die young, bad girls do it well" to a whole other level. She's been trouble from day one - refusing to be caught after turnout, throwing tantrums if her breakfast or dinner isn't mixed properly and just being an annoying sorority girl in the barn. She screams over everything (her whinny isn't a nice one to listen to, either) and almost always needs to make her presence known. Even at 5 o'clock in the morning as the grooms are just arriving for the day you'll hear Gaia screams echo throughout the barn when they're preparing morning hay and grain. She's an overly enthusiastic morning person and sometimes we wished she would just shut up for once! Even if you tell her to be quiet, she'll just scream right back in your face. Gaia loves attention and won't be afraid to do whatever it takes for some good quality human loving. She'll throw things hanging beside her stall, bang the walls, make silly faces, you name it she'll do it. You have no choice but to succumb to her peer pressure, otherwise her noises will haunt your dreams until you do.

Racing InformationYou'll know when Gallant Charm is at the track for race day because you'll hear her high-pitched screams throughout the shed rows. She doesn't contain her excitement well and it translates into her work ethic. Gaia is so excited to be doing what she does that sometimes it has an effect on the other horses in the race. While she doesn't bounce around uncontrollably, she does tend to get a bit hyped up in the gates and has broken through once or twice before. She's an easy loader and breaks clean and quick, heading straight to the front without any question. Gaia would rather not get dirt in her eyes, so much prefers the front of the field. Here she can also control the pace to what she wants to make it, provided that there are no challengers to threaten her. If there is, Gaia will pin her ears in retaliation and claw her way back to the top. She has a fighting spirit and it takes more than a few thousand pounds to prevent her from getting what she wants.
