National Treasure

Horse Information
Registered Number: 1279
Nickname: Treasure
Age: Three (Y11)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Black
Height: 17 hands
Gender: Filly
Personality: Treasure is a sweet and gentle filly, steadfast and reliable whenever you need her to be. She's not fussy or 'mareish' - she acts a lot older than her years, that's for sure. She's sweetest with her preferred staff members - she's taken a liking to Tigris and Clarimonde - but she's not bad for anyone else. She's sort of a loner out on pasture, only buddying up with mares and geldings like herself - the ones that don't care for dominance and fuss. If another mare tries to push her around, she'll chase them off, ears pinned and teeth bared. She refuses to be messed with, but has no desire to be top dog. Her true potential comes out when she works with people. She still retains that easygoing attitude while under saddle, and learns very quickly, exhibiting a great willingness to please. It's made her very easy to work with, and her learning curve is startlingly steep. Not only is she calm, she's smart. While some horses use their intelligence to cause trouble, Treasure just doesn't have that mindset. That being said, she seems to learn something from every race. Not in terms of when to run and such, since that's beyond pretty much any horse, but she knows she doesn't like being caught on the rail with the inability to run, and she knows it's a lot more tiring to run wide than it is to stay more inward. Her prowess comes from her eagerness to please her rider. As stated, she really likes Tigris, and will do practically anything he asks of her. If he asks her to dig deeper, find just a little more speed, she will do it.

Racing Style: Treasure breaks from the gate and sits quietly near the back of the pack - last, even, if that's what's asked of her. She doesn't have the dominant urges of some, so she can be infinitely patient. That as it is, she's very much the sort to have a strong closing kick left at the end of a race. She's got her father's strong, dominating strides, and drives with single-minded passion. Like any closer, her job is much easier when the frontrunners tire themselves out. However, even in the case of an easy pace, she'll work just that much harder to get up front. Her margin of victory is normally fairly small, but if given the chance, she'll easily widen the gap.
Jockey: Tigris Greenfire
