PERSONALITY: Being a foal of the two most gentlest horses in our barn Frozo easily carries on the traits. We are always so surprised by his actions when he waits patiently by one side of his stall as you give him hay and grain, or how he never dances or spooks at a tractor. He always has such a relaxed and natural look about him, intelligent and gentle. Of course all of this leaves without a doubt when he steps onto the track. He cares less about who he is against, why he is racing, and how he must run it, as long as he is the winner and the first to cross the line. He doesn't like being on people's bad sides, so he won't argue with your commands when running, but he always prefers being in the lead and runs best there. He usually remains very calm before races, in the paddock and walking to the gates. The gates can be a problem for him at times, he definitely doesn't like being enclosed in such a small space. If given calm words and kept calm in the gate, he'll do fine and break really well. He's best at starting because he loves being in the front, it's one of the rare times that he ignores his rider's commands. But after he's a breeze to ride. We are so happy to have Frozo at Riverwood!
RACING STYLE: Frozo is a strong leader when it comes to racing. He can maintain that lead for as long as he wants to at any speed possible. He breaks really well from the gate, and bolts up to take the lead from any gate along the track. He loves the feeling of fresh air in his face rather than dirt, and doesn't always work well with having clumps of turf thrown in his face. Once he's in the lead, he listens to his rider and sets whatever pace his rider asks of him. He can set a speedy pace, and take the lead with just as much power. He loves the feeling of turf beneath his hooves, and he could run on it forever.
HISTORY: Frozo's sire was an accomplished grade one turf racer. He was amazing on the turf and could handle anything with it. He won big races such as March Wire Finish Cup Turf, and placed or showed in the Breeder's Cup Turf, Seaspray Cup, and Breeder's Cup Godolphin Mile. He was a strong turf runner and passed this on to Frozo. Frozo's dam, Hira-Kiri is an accomplished broodmare who had a daughter known as Silver Song, who is currently a rising great racehorse. Both of his parents were good at what they did, and they passed on all their great traits to their son.
