Personality
Bold and brash are two ways to describe this towering chestnut filly. She isn't a horse to fade into the background by any means. Her powerful frame and overeager nature put her at the forefront of any goings on at the barn. She loves attention and is the first to stick her nose in someone's business just because she can. When out and about, Hecate towers over all comers and she seems to get excited about it. She'll give her handlers a hard time, dragging them about like children. None of the hyper behavior is out of aggression. On the country, Hecate just doesn't seem to know her own strength. Her lovable nature counterbalances the on-the-muscle attitude to some degree. When working, Hecate takes a while to get into her job. She isn't one to blow away her workmates out of the water. She's a long-striding mare who appears hard to ride, but Kendall assures the staff that she isn't.
During the races, Hecate breaks well with the field, but she isn't quick into stride and takes the first quarter mile to get settled. By this point, Hecate is usually six or seven off the lead, in the middle or at the back of the pack. She runs with her ears bobbing, on a loose rein, as if there isn't much to hurry about. Kendall will shake the mare up at the half-mile pole if it's a shorter race, drawing Hecate's notice of her job. The large chestnut will lengthen her stride and swallow the ground between herself and the field, mowing them down as if she's out for a walk in the park. By the stretch, Hecate is under an all out drive and truly loves this part of the game. The filly loves nothing if not a stirring stretch run and a wide open track. At shorter distances, Hecate appears flashy, often drawing off to win by a length or two. Given longer distances, the filly tends more toward the dramatic, closing with a dramatic rush to win by a head. |
