GENERAL INFORMATION
"Harlow" Registered Thoroughbred Filly Y18 Born Bay 17hh |
Hero's Calling is very much unlike her brother, in fact the staff would consider her the polar opposite and a dead-ringer for her mother. While not overly thrilled about physical affection, there is a distinct softness to her expression that many find calming to be around. Harlow is very much a nurturer but won't be afraid to tell you where to stick it if you piss her off. Like her dam, Harlow is, for the most part, easy to get along with and is a sucker for any sort of food-based motivation. Feeding time is often the worst - Harlow will scream her head off if she isn't the first one in the barn to be fed, and that includes her morning hay. She's not a difficult horse to handle or train - she's the type of horse to always ask "what are we doing next guys?" with a lot of enthusiasm. Harlow is definitely a sight to see - built like a ballet dancer with moves equally as poised and controlled wherever she goes. Long, lanky legs connect to a well-built frame that screams sprinter even to the untrained eye. The staff have nicknamed her "Ballet" as she cannot seem to stand still for long period of time, often piaffing and trotting on the spot if things are taking too long, or she becomes anxious about the task ahead. Some days her attention span is that of a fly, where her ballet moves will make an appearance on many occasions, but other days we'll find she has the patience of a saint. Under saddle is where she brings out the best moves, often throwing out a few steps of extended trot in the post-parade, making sure the crowd knows not to overlook the plain bay on the track.

RACING INFORMATIONHarlow's fancy footwork doesn't stop until she leaves the gates and gets on with the race. While not overly anxious, her energy levels hit a peak when she's at the track, often feeling the energy vibes of the horses and people around her. If she's around calm horses, Harlow will try to preserve her energy and break with the field as opposed to shooting out of the gates the first chance she gets, which often happens if there are high-strung horses in the stalls beside her. Harlow is normally very steady on her feet, which makes for a quick, clean start. She settles quietly behind the leaders and waits for the pace they set before really putting herself in a position. Harlow doesn't need a ton of urging throughout the race, unless a horse is pushing for a challenge or if she's being a bit sluggish. She loves the thrill of a cat-and-mouse chase, where she's the cat and the front runners are the mice. Her eyes never leave her target, where she'll zero in for the kill when they hit the last few furlongs. All her jockey has to do is flash her the whip on her shoulder where Harlow finds another burst of energy, as if a fire was lit right under her tail. She'll bore down and annoy the leaders until they give up their position, allowing her to really stretch out and use her size to thunder down the stretch.
