GENERAL INFORMATION
"Sweets" Registered Thoroughbred Filly Dark Bay Y15 Born 17hh |
At the age of one, Sweet Talker (fondly known as Sweets) had already surpassed fifteen hands at the withers. This filly was going to be one hell of a monster although she doesn't seem to realize it. Thankfully, with great height came the gentle giant syndrome - big horses who have a big heart, the sort that wouldn't hurt a fly. Sweet is a relatively quiet filly and will ultimately do whatever is asked of her, no questions about it. She'll allow the other horses to nip and kick at her and she'll hardly bat an eye at their antics. This dark bay filly is hard to spook and is good about keeping her wits, staying focused even when a lot of commotion is going on. It's almost as though she tunes out any white noise that bother any other horse. While she'll stand quietly for being tacked up, girth tightening and all, this filly will go off and leave you if you don't swing your leg up and over fast enough. She's quiet in the fields and in her stall, but when she feels the weight of a rider she gets this certain kind of hyper energy and suddenly becomes incredibly interested in running. Her jockey has commented saying that riding Sweet is like riding a train, you can just feel all the power and energy surging beneath you and it's almost hard to believe that you can manage to control that power with just your hands gripping leather reins. As long as you hold on tight, Sweet Talker can take you all the way home better than any other horse.

RACING INFORMATIONSweet stands still for being tacked up, but once you get into the saddle she's ready to go and if her rider isn't ready, she'll definitely prance off without you. She's eager in the starting gates and breathes heavy, while she waits, her heart and mind have already set to the track plotting how she's going to run the dirt that day. When she's finally let loose she bides her time at the back of the pack, still scoping the field waiting to make her move. And when you least expect it, when you think the horse in front is about to cross the finish line, Sweet Talker comes from out of nowhere and surpasses the horse in front, stealing the limelight.
