pedigree
personality
Storm came to Witch Creek through Intrepid Racing, the jewel that has often provided outstanding stock for WCS's empire. Storm is no exception. Firestorm is a relatively easy horse to handle from the ground because of his physical awareness. He definitely knows his strength and respect has been bred and trained into him by his humans. While neither of his parents were prideful, Firestorm totally is. An absolute showman, Firestorm will pause every time he hears the click of a camera, ears pricked, eyes reflecting the look of eagles. An outstanding looking horse, Firestorm looked like a man among boys his first time out on the track. His presence immediately caught the eye of the rail birds. Firestorm acts like a power house from the get-go. Ripley has the tall horse go out to the track alone because he gets too pushy and hyper when he has a pony beside him. Storm is a fiery animal and he is a noisy one. He'll trumpet and snort, prance and dance. A hot shot is what he is and he knows it.
On the track, at home and away, Firestorm has one goal and that is too dominate. Like his mama, Firestorm will break like a rocket out of the gate and immediately gun with the leaders. The colt is extremely nimble and does not tend to get in trouble in any of his races. He does not need the lead and allows faster horses to take over if they want to. He tends to follow the leaders around the track until the final two furlongs. When he commences his bid, Firestorm jolts right into his run. He will surge right up to the leaders with an explosive kick and will not fret if they go down easily or fighting. His willful attitude turns into that of a champ going ten rounds. He's not easy to take down and he will fight all the way to the wire. A battering ram never looked so beautiful in the winner's circle.
