Personality:
Snow is every bit like her sire, Flying Solo. She has the attitude of a child's cheeky childhood pony and seems to be quite the trickster even in the face of adversity. She likes to bulk up to both people and horses just to show her moxie and at times, her own jockey is afraid of her because he thinks the horse might one day turn rogue.
In reality, this filly thinks of life as one big game and she's loving every moment of it. She has the mind of a child but the heart of a champion as she's pretty much relentless in everything she does until something finally ends up how she wants it to go. Snowbird can be nippy at times and hates being in her stall at the home stable for too long. Forget to let her out at exactly 9:05 am and she'll start kicking the stall walls and taking out chunks of the stall door until someone hurries up and either lets her out into the paddock or puts her to work.
She's no fan of 'down time' and would prefer to keep moving then remain idle in her stall. This is a bit different when a trailer or plane is involved because she knows that she's going somewhere new or to a racetrack and can't wait to be the resident show-off of the day.

Racing Info:
Surface Preference: Turf
Distance: 5-10 Furlongs Grade: Two Trainer: Aaron Evertt Jockey: Jessie Coppermen Leg Type: Stalker Just like when she's home, Snow is quite the troublemaker even when she's out at work on the track. Traveling long distances by trailer or plane doesn't get this filly riled up, if anything it makes her all the more eager to stretch her legs once she reaches her destination. In the parade she might kick up her heels or buck a few times but only because she's ready and raring to go and would prefer that everyone gets a move on. She likes to have big, strong finishes and overtake those in front of her little by little before exploding with her signature big burst of speed a few lengths before the end. Without fail, whenever she crosses the finish line (providing there's no one in front of her which indicates a win and a good job in her mind) she almost always throws out a few more bucks and kicks - the equivalent of a football player's victory jig whenever they make a touchdown. |
