Reliance
"To find yourself, you have to think for yourself."
About |
|
In time Reliance has flourished into a strong headed stallion and has really filled out in the chest and legs. He is known as the ‘big gun’ around the barn and it is a rare occasion if he can be off of the stud chain when walking to the pasture. His favorite time of the day is turnout and groomers have learned to turn him out relatively quickly or he will pace and paw in his stall. He will bolt out of his halter and stir up his other pasture mates when turned loose, causing as much chaos as he possibly can before he will settle down and graze. He is a restless horse and has a hard time standing still or focusing on anything for a long period of time. He absolutely hates small animals and will going running for the hills if a dog shows up, often not caring if there is a groom still attached at the end of the lead line. Racing is the only time he really tries to focus as it means letting his cooped up energy out and competing with other horses. Ry does not like waiting and has often taken chunks out of grooms when his girth is tightened. His trainer, Felicity, is still hoping that with experience, his unbridled energy will be focused in on racing instead of his grooms.

Grade Four Dirt 7-10 Furlongs Preceder Race day is a whole ordeal with the stallion and his overzealous attitude and energy. Just like with turnout, a stud chain is required when walking him anywhere or he will proceed to rear up and skitter about. Gating can be difficult depending on the day, if he decides to give the jockeys and grounds crew a hard time. Reliance breaks from the gate with enthusiasm and joins the leaders but lets a few pass him up before settling into his preceder position. He then continues to hound them the entire way around the track, ears pinned the whole time. As soon as he hits the home stretch, Ry with stretch out and take off towards the leaders. |
