Personality
Sion is a bit of a pig, but we love her anyway. She's bullish and rude, and doesn't mind barreling her way through people to get what she wants if she's not properly put in her place. She's not particularly mean, not in that she's out looking to hurt humans. She's just indifferent and painfully oblivious sometimes, and that can lead to people getting hurt in the meantime. Just little things, like her swinging her head around to look at something without being aware of where the human's head is next to her or stepping sideways because she wants to go look at something without being spatially aware of feet. She's not so bad with other horses or even small animals, but for whatever reason she just doesn't respect humans enough to even pay attention. Handlers have to be constantly on their toes around her and even be a little rough - sometimes a couple of snaps of the shank can get her attention and sometimes she needs a bit more of a reprimand to keep her to herself. Under saddle she's not much better, but luckily her own competitive drive eggs her on enough to get the job done.
LEG TYPE: FRONTRUNNER
Sion is absolutely horrible at the gate - it seriously delayed her juvenile debut because she just couldn't get approved by the gate crews. However, she's learned that it just isn't worth the fight and that she can get to something more fun more quickly if she goes along. She breaks surprisingly well, uncomfortable in the enclosed space and gunning for the lead because she's not really the thinking sort - strategies from behind just aren't really her forte. But 'stay in front' is something she can do, and she's got the drive and passion to pull it off.

Show Information
Current Discipline: Barrel Racing
This young mare has taken straight to the fast and furious lifestyle of barrel racing, and it's encouraging to see her really give her all as she never seemed to do on the track. Sion can still be a pig and get aggressive, especially if someone starts yanking on her mouth too much, but she's made it clear that it's in no one's best interest - unless they like ending up in the dirt, that is.
