Bona Fide
Nothing ever becomes real 'till it is experienced.
About
Bonnie is a little trouble maker. Don't let the bloodlines of her sire fool you. She is mild tempered and gets annoyed quickly so it is best not to get on the bad side of this girl. Her personality was expected with her dam, Samantha's Wisdom, but not at this level. Attitude and determination is what keeps this filly running when it comes to racing. She can be gentle when she wants to be, and this is usually when things go her way. If it involves being groomed, she is all for the exposure as long as it does not take too long. She has been known to be an in-your-pocket kind of mare, but only with certain people and it occurs on random, short bursts. But her spirit appears when she decides that things are not going the way she wants them to. Most times Bona gets easily bored if there is too much standing around or waiting. She has tendencies to start nipping at people if tacking up takes too long in her book, which is a maximum of five minutes. So the stable hands have learned to be quick with the mare, even if it means hand walking her around while the other horses are still being tacked up. Her short attention span also permits that she be turned out everyday with some other horses because she will drive everyone in the barn crazy with her whinnying. She lets everyone know that she has strong lungs and vocalizes her opinions very clearly. Bonnie is a tough filly and hates to be picked on. She sits on the top of the pecking order in the pasture and has been known to put the new horses in their place when they first join the herd. She does love to play when she is turned out and often riles up the other yearlings in her game.

Grade Five Dirt 8-11 Furlongs Closer/Front Runner Bonnie has a very rare running type for a versatile horse. Not only are they two opposite running positions, but it is also extremely hard to plan ahead with the filly. There is no game plan before the race with Bonnie, whatever comes shooting out of the starting gate first is what she will stick with. About the time the gates open, she will tell you which one she wants to run. Usually she will break a little later if she feels like hanging back as a closer. Then she will hound the pack around the track, thoroughly enjoying the chase before making a break for the front. When she breaks fast and early, she will shoot out towards the front and settle with everyone behind her. With this position, she is usually in a grumpier mood, and doesn't want anyone to get in front of her. Bonnie will pin her ears at anyone who approaches her and will fight the whole way around the track to keep the lead. |
