Y20 July HoTM
Viva is a mild natured filly; generally compliant and willing to work with her human counterparts. However with the presence of an admirable intelligence comes a spark - many struggle to put their finger on exactly what it is about her, but it's something that simmers deep within the spirited blaze of her eyes. Typically quiet, Viv still has these fleeting moments of fire, usually well-timed with the results she reaps. Be it achieving the spotlight, causing the other horses to stir into chaos or using it to win on the track.
She is calculated and smooth, knowing better than to create enemies in the paddock, she wittingly works out which horses can be pushed over and which are best left alone. This doesn't put her high in the pasture hierachy, but she needn't require status when she has the brains to problem-solve and achieve results. Viv truly posseses the raw values that simply can't be taught. She's wisely chosen the velvety path to success, bypassing the hiccups and bumps many horses encounter along the way; through hard-learned lessons or unforgiving arrogance. She is an enjoyable blend between confident, spirited and sensible. Hands down, Viva is one of the brightest horses of her crop, and her talent is as impressive as her wits.

Leg Type: Preceder
Viv cruises through the post-parade, alert but at ease with no interest in expending energy unneccesarily. Similarly, her bust from the gates is clean but not particularly energized; breaking with the pack initially, and navigating her way tactfully through the group to take up a position somewhere behind the leader. Adapatable to conditions, she drives hard enough to maintain position but reserves the full brunt of her abilities until her jockey cues the approach of the wire. Capable of staying out of the heated arguments of front-runners, Viv cruises on auto-pilot at a maintainable pace, content to let the dominant horses of the field tire eachother before making her move. But it is then that she truly impresses; sparking her body into a squall of momentum as she accelerates into the lead. Razor-sharp and quick-thinking, Viva pilots her way to success with the divine combo of prepense strategy and innate speed.
