Personality
Midnight Ballet is one of the sweetest fillies to come into the yearling barn. She has a kind personality and a real authenticity about her that puts her staff at ease. She loves baths, grooming, and her favorite peppermint cookies. She'll be the first horse to get all the love and also, the first one to get jealous. She has an annoying habit of banging on the front of her stall when people are in the barn and aren't paying attention to her. Spoiled rotten Bally may be, but her team appreciates her out-of-this-world personality, especially when surrounded by their usual fire-breathing dragon types. Bally was a very easy horse to break and train to saddle. She was actually the first one to be mounted and ridden because she has an innate trust that nothing can come of her humans. Ripley often made the sarcastic remark to Malcolm that Bally should spread the word to her compadres because it would have made everyone's life that much easier.
It isn't until Bally hits the open track that she becomes a bit hard to handle. She has her Night Stalker and El Sol del Mar blood to thank her for her high spirits. She'll prance on the track, flinging her head about as if she knows she's a big shot. Not above a rear or two, Bally always has a babysitter nearby, but for the most part, she doesn't need to be ponied... unless its a Saturday afternoon race. Midnight Ballet will break from the gate like a rocket, but she doesn't tend to run with the horses in the initial quarter. She'll fall back to the mid-pack runners and then gradually take up her rear post position. Her long legs and large lung capacity make her the ideal classic to marathon distance horse as she'll keep running for as long as necessary. When given her cue to run, Bally will swoop past her competitors, pinning her ears flat as she heads from last to first. She has a competitive fire that truly ignites down the stretch as she relishes in being the cat to the mice. She isn't one to sweep to powerful victory, but it is guaranteed that her presence will be felt by the time she hits the wire. |
