She's hot-blooded, ready to go right out of the box and let loose - something that requires caution regularly. She is her own horse and not meek - she will chase down that overly friendly barn cat and try to trample it into the ground while dragging her handler all the way. She's head strong and can be hard to communicate with, making her a challenge for speed demons, but with that said, she doesn't know when to quit and will run herself ragged if left unchecked. the history owner • Shannon Liam Reese father • Thoroughbred Stud mother • Thoroughbred Dam siblings • Likely Many Half Siblings overall history • Rockstar was one of those mass bred foals on a stud that bred racing horses for profits, but she was instantly a curiosity when she hit the ground with her odd shoulder marking. She was left with her dam for a short while before being weaned and instantly thrown into the deep end of training with humans. Right up until the age of two and half, she was handled constantly and trained to race, never really left to be a horse, just a racing machine. She had promise when it came to flat work, but getting her into the gates was a hassle. She was tried multiple times, finally getting her to load and charge the gates with some prodding, and ultimately raced her heart out. She was good at what she did, coming out with trophies and ribbons at the races she attended. She was ultimately retired from racing following a track accident, a perfect storm. A fellow jockey kept jostling her against the rail and her rider was panicking. One shoulder to the rail, another horse tight to her other side, her rider flailing and leaving her running blind. With a hard shove from the other horse, Rockstar stumbled and tried to save herself by attempting to jump the guard rail as her rider sawed on her mouth cursing. She threw her rider in the jump and thundered through the center track riderless, and spooked a flock of pigeons. She ran frightened away from the birds, loosing her footing in the mad dash. It took a solid twenty minutes to herd her into a smaller area where she could be grabbed and taken back to the vet to assess her shoulder. It looked career ending, but it turned out to be mild and would heal with minor surgery and time. This did not suit the stud owners, selling her up a month later. She was taken in by a young lady that retrained retired race horses, given rest and ample therapy before being cleared to be reintroduced to work. It was here that the staff of the stable learned Rockstar's uniqueness. They often found the mare bobbing her head to music when it was on the radio, stealing the beanie and hats off everyone's heads, and even on one occasion she stole skittles from an unattended lunch box outside her stall. It was all good fun, even finding the mare preferred the male staff over the other women which was not an issue. She was given time to retrain and learn not to be a racing mess, but it seemed that she was unlikely to settle down any time soon. Since the accident, Rockstar has been with them for three years and finally she seems to be about ready to go to a new home. Though she goes with some warning, her rehab home believes she'll do well with the right person. the role player alias • BlackJac, Jac age • Mid 20s other characters • So many.... |
