PERSONALITY: Both of Mel's parents were pretty calm, quiet, and shy. Mel inherited all of these traits along with having a fierce competitive side. She stays in her stall all day, unless it is pretty cloudy out, so she gets pretty annoyed, having to watch the other horses frolick and play while she is stuck inside because of her light coat. But she is out all night and she spends most of it just bolting around the paddock and enjoying the freedom. The horses are rotated so one horse is always outside with her as well, to keep her well socialized. She is usually calm, collected, and reserved. She does what you asks, and if needed she will put more effort into it. She really wants to please, and will do anything to make you happy. She always has her ears perked with that glint in her eye. She doesn't spazz out like other horses, and she rarely ever spooks unless a car lands in front of her. She is extremely smart and knows how to get out of tough situations. She is one of the gems at Riverwood Acres.
RACING STYLE: Mel starts off however she really feels that day. She breaks from the gate pretty quietly, and doesn't like being in the front or in the middle. She prefers to be near the back of the pack. She doesn't waste her energy fighting to gain the lead towards the beginning of the race, and saves all of it to close very strongly and run away with a win. She waits for the final turn before making her move, but she also listens to her jockey for when she has to run. She has the energy and stamina to close perfectly, and she loves it every time. She's perfectly fine with getting turf thrown in her face and actually enjoys it most times, which doesn't help us out considering we have to groom her everyday. She loves any sort of surface when it comes to the turf.
HISTORY: Both of Mel's parents were very shy, or very quiet and collected. They didn't freak out or become over anxious or excited. They were very calm and knew how to handle certain situations. Mel's dam, Blanchette, was an accomplished grade one turf racer. She knew how to handle everything about the turf, and was good at running her best. She won the Universal Cup, Winter Cup, Merry Bay King Memorial Stakes, Summer Cup, Autumn Cup, and placed in the Breeder's Cup Turf. Mel's sire was also an accomplished turf racer. He ran his best season as a four year old, and made it from a grade five to a grade two in only a few weeks. He won big races like the Boy's and Star Festival, and placed or showed in many other big turf races such as the Breeder's Cup Turf, Dream Cup, Full Moon Derby, Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, and the Little Miss Innocent Memorial Stakes. She was bred to be the best turf racer there is, and we can't wait to see how well she does.
