Unsung Hero
HERO HIGH (CR) X MONROVIA (CR) "Hero" 2017 Black Colt standing 16.3 HH Leased from Lex |
Hero can definitely be quite the handful. He is always on his toes and ready to go at a moments notice. He has a ton of energy and being cooped up in a stall doesn't help much. The moment he gets led out of his stall, he's a bit of spitfire, throwing playful kicks and prancing about as he's led down the shed-row. He's not a mean horse by any means, just has a lot of energy. He has slight trust issues with male handlers and jockeys and therefore gets along best with the female grooms and jockeys at the barn. He has an extremely competitive spirit and there's nothing this big strong colt loves more than racing. When he gets on the track, you can definitely tell he is having a good time. He loves to run and it shows. Due to his highly competitive nature, Hero loves the chase. He loves catching up to horses in front of him whether he's just doing a morning workout or in a race in the afternoon; he loves to win.

You would think that with his highly competitive nature, Hero would break as fast as he could to get to the front, however that is not the case. Actually, Hero does quite the opposite. Hero enjoys taking his time getting out of the gate and being taking up the back of the pack early in the race. There is nothing Hero loves more than the chase. His competitive nature kicks into full gear as they begin rounding the final turn and Hero moves forward through the placings, picking off his competition one by one. He gives a final burst of speed as they hit the stretch and will battle to the end in order to come out on top.
