DASHING IN THE FIRELIGHT
16.2hh 13YO BAY Thoroughbred MARE
Dirt: GREAT Turf: FAIR Distance: 9-12 FURLONGS
Dashing In The Firelight would really dash in the fire if you asked. She is one of the bravest, boldest fillies you will ever meet. Nothing scares her, nothing will stop her from doing something, nothing will hold her down. She will conquer everything in her path and more, just because of her outstanding amount of courage. She also has a powerful determination which comes in handy during a race and every venture she sets her sights upon doing. She's so independent that it hard to find a rider that she would accept, but when her old jockey Henna arrived just in time for Fire's two year old year there was no going back.
The two bonded and then raced through their first year, but forging the bond was hard. It has taken a lot of time for them to get where they are today. Fire now trusts Henna enough to let her control some of Fire's movements and heart, but usually it is Fire who is making the decisions as the alpha of her life. Her independence and courage as well as fantastic heart to succeed makes her a racehorse that may not necessarily win every time, but will be remembered for going down fighting. Coming to Nature Blues. the mare is still in her proved ways however, it is taking some time for this mare to warm up to the humans here.
Fire dislikes running if it means running away from something, but when presented with the challenge of running to win she's a hard horse to take down. She prefers to run mid pack, where she can see the horses in front of her and somehow hear the horses behind her and monitor her position and strategy accordingly. She is small and slim, enabling her to run through very tight spots. She'll start making her move for the lead when she sees most fit, but definitely by the time they turn for the wire. She has a fair amount of regular stamina and just enough sprint stamina to give her a win. She prefers to go with the flow in a race while still somehow managing to challenge herself. Racing is a challenge, which is why Fire enjoys it so much. But as the years have passed, it has also grown into a passion. She loves to run past those other horses, weaving around them in the stretch to try and get the win. It has become more than a challenge to her. It's become a way of life.
