DEVIL'S TRILL
|
PERSONALITY
Named after the horribly complex and hauntingly beautiful sonata by Giuseppe Tartini, this filly was anticipated by the farm long before she was born. The pairing was proposed by the connections at SOPS, and Valkyrie's breeding manager Larsa Entlier leapt at the opportunity to own such a lovely outcross. Trill has more than owned up to expectations, and has proven herself to be an intelligent, kind, and stunning filly with all of the speed her pedigree would suggest. And while she is herself a complex creature, she's not duplicitous in the way of her sire. Instead of turning violent when in a mood, she seems to become very withdrawn and almost dull when upset, though those episodes are few and far between. Most of the time she's truly a pleasure to work with, and just seems to want to please. She's friendly to most humans, though she's not above a nip and a squeal if she's feeling fresh. She's curious but not obnoxious, showing the bravery and stoic heart inherited from her mother. She's fearless when put to a new task, and works hard to learn and remember her lessons. She knows her humans and will give them preference over newcomers, with the exception of the veterinarian. She gets really worked up when the hears the vet's truck pull up, and she becomes really flinchy and hard to handle. The staff have had to start getting crafty about getting the vet into the barn while also keeping everyone safe. It's not an ideal situation, but no one can be perfect, right? Trill is happy to graze out in a paddock when given the chance, but if she has too much time off she starts getting antsy, pacing the fence and chewing boards. She enjoys having a job, and is best when she doesn't have to be idle for long. You can't keep this filly down!
LEG TYPE: FRONTRUNNER/PRECEDER
Trill is antsy but eager going into the gate, and she breaks quickly and confidently at the bells. She is very comfortable at the front end, and seems to prefer being the pacesetter. She's not anxious when horses come up on her, however, and is willing to be taken up and allow someone else to set the pace. She's happy as long as she's got open track in front of her, and will rate wherever her jockey puts her as the furlongs race by. Coming out of the turn, Trill will pull at the bit, eagerly awaiting the cue to go - and when she does, the little grey gives her whole heart. She's a tough filly, eager for a dogfight, and thrives off of the pressure of a close finish.
