Personality
Born fourth in a line-up of hotheads, expectations were that Scarlet Letter would follow suit. Oddly enough, Scarlet is not a naturally high strung horse. She has docile temper in the barn, kind and mindful of her humans. She'll be the last horse to step on anyone's toes and the first to suck up after anyone else misbehaves. She loves her people and people love her... that is until the saddle cloth goes on at the track. Scarlet has two sides: kind and ferocious. Her connections quickly learned that she was not a filly to be messed with when it was time to work. She'd as soon lift off into a rear or trample her handler if they broke her routine during exercise or in the paddock.
Lithe and flashy, Scarlet has all of the appearances of a wild mustang out on the track. Her groom keeps her mane longer, emphasizing the look. She goes well with or without a pony and doesn't typically pay any mind to human distractions like clapping or shouting. She goes into game mode once the mass of the track spreads before her. Her rider only has to sit on the filly to know what kind of mount he has beneath him: a powerhouse, pure and simple. She goes into the gate nicely and breaks well enough to get into good position in third or fourth, depending on the size of the field. She'll stalk on a long rein, but is precocious enough for her rider to make her move at any moment. When given her cue to run, Scarlet Letter attacks her targets mercilessly. Her turn of foot is unmatched and her ability to carry that late race gear is quite magnificent. Her jockey typically puts the whip away in the stretch, choosing to press her on with hands and feet only as the whip will have a negative effect on her performance. She usually finishes within herself, taking care of herself for the next big assignment. |
