TROPICAL FEVER
|
PERSONALITY
Tropic is a true culmination of years of planning, years of refining, and years of preparing. Out of the Hall of Famer Triple Tiara mare Paradise Island, Tropical Fever was a loving match with Valkyrie's own Wyvern, the type of stallion who would do great things but was easily overlooked. Unlike her father's rambunctious spirit, Tropic has a grouchy manner about her like a twenty-some mare who's just done dealing with everything. She doesn't want to be touched, she doesn't want to be fussed with, and she certainly doesn't want to be petted. She's no one's pet pony. She's sour in pretty much every respect, including tacking, however... she doesn't actually seem to mind being ridden. It's like if the human is out of sight, it's out of mind. She doesn't want to be led or ponied, but she behaves herself well under saddle. She can get eager, but she'll listen to cues as long as they're within reason and don't test her patience.
LEG TYPE: CLOSER
Tropic does her best work if she's absolutely furious. It's a workout for her rider, but in order to frustrate her, keeping her at the back of the field after the break is the best way to get a phenomenal closing drive. She doesn't actually fight, but you can feel the building tension as she gets more and more eager to explode to the front. When she is finally let loose, her jock had better just put their head down and hold on tight - Tropic will do the rest.
