GENERAL INFORMATION
"Hess" Registered Thoroughbred Filly Y18 Born Dark Bay 15.2hh |
Hestia is the perfect example of a moody mare. Despite her size, this filly really exudes dominant vibes no matter where she goes. Hess gets what she wants, when she wants it and is one of the only horses that truly needs a lip chain around the farm if you're not confident in handling her. Hess doesn't like to rely on humans for anything, in fact she would rather not interact with anyone at all. Hess only tolerates those who feed her, who groom her and those that take her out for training. Otherwise, you'll find her in the very back corner of her stall munching away on her hay. If you dare interrupt her, you'll be reprimanded with a sharp nip on the shoulder a swift kick to the leg. Very much an independant mare, she prefers to be left alone unless she's out with Sweet Passion, who is the only horse she gets along with. When she's out on the track for training, Hess takes her job very seriously, she doesn't treat it like a game or a hobby - as soon as her tack is on she turns into a work horse. There are some days we try to make it fun for her and change up her routine, like taking her for gallops in the forest or trailering her down to a long stretch of beach sand, just to let her know that her job doesn't have to be a "job", and she can enjoy doing in the process. It's taken a little bit for Hess to understand this, but once you see her in the front of the field or taking charge past the wire you know that she's having the time of her life.

RACING INFORMATIONHestia takes no shit on race day and looks down on horses who exhibit any shenanigans. To her the track is a job and her goal is to win, and to display such behaviour is taking away from the task at hand. Hess has to be alone and away from everyone, and is often the last to parade onto the track and load into the gates no matter her post position. It took a while to get her used to the gates, but putting her in last has helped a ton. She wants to be the last in and first out, and tends to stumble just slightly however Hess is quick on her feet and is able to right herself within seconds. This horse doesn't want to lead and hates to be last, so the middle is where she sits comfortably. Hess hates to be stuck running stagnant in one position, so she's often finding gaps in random places on the field to push her way through while keeping a watchful eye not to bump into anyone else to reduce the risk of being disqualified. As she snakes her way through the field, once Hess sees a clear cut opening she will switch her lead and take off like a bat out of hell. The addition of blinkers has helped Hestia tremendously to keep her focus on the finish line, where she will easily make it without hesitation.
