GENERAL INFORMATION
"Yogi" Registered Thoroughbred Filly Y18 Born Chestnut 16hh |
Namaste is such a breath of fresh air for the staff at Firestone, despite learning from a young age that Yogi is a horse that strongly dislikes being defined or being forced to conform to set rules. She will eat when she pleases, works when she wants to and ignores anyone who tries to really control her into doing something. We like to call Yogi a "rebel" because she wants nothing more than to be free, to be herself, and to be authentic in the way she does things. Given the chance, Yogi will follow people around like a puppy and isn't afraid to invade your personal space. Yogi is the biggest cuddle bug and if you give her something even as small as a mint, you'll be sure to find her glued to your hip 24/7. She hates being told to go away and generally prefers the company of a human rather than another horse - the mare WILL try to sit in your lap at any given chance. If you understand the way her brain works, Yogi is the easiest horse to train. She much prefers a variety of ways to get her exercise in; whether it's on the track, on the treadmill, on a trail or on a beach it has to always be shaken up with this girl.

RACING INFORMATIONThe only routine that Yogi knows is her race day routine - one that she does without a fuss and without much protest either. Although she hates rules, she knows what her job is and isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to get it done. She needs a jockey with a light, steady hand and one that isn't afraid to ride the rail. Yogi can get a little "hot" at the gates, but load her last and you're good to go. Get this horse onto the white fence and she's at the front and taking charge without another thought. She's not a complicated ride, just keep her going and without a challenger at the beginning and she's solid. If another horse challenges early on, Yogi gets pissy and begrudgingly gives up her lead just enough for both her jockey and her brain to regroup. If Yogi can sneak her way back to the rail, or even on the direct outside of her opponent there's no chance to catch her; she's way too quick for her opponents to notice. Yogi will easily slide her way back to the top spot and easily cross the wire first - well ahead of her unsuspecting victims.
