Liv is one of the sweetest horses you will ever meet. She loves to nuzzle her nose into the nooks and crannies of her human handlers. She's built like a swan, tall and graceful, but she's very narrow. This comes in handy when she pulls her favorite little trick of running up small holes along the rail. She's always alert and ready for anything, along with being sweet she's very playful. Much like a dog, you can chase her around and she enjoys it. She loves to race and will race anything, including cats, dogs, birds, doesn't matter.
Liv's a special filly. She was born with one blind eye on her right side. It doesn't seem to bother her, and she trusts people a lot and will depend on her jockey to guide her around the track safely even though she cannot see her opponents on her right side. She isn't the biggest fan of other horses, but every once and awhile she will find a friend. She actually seems to like other animals more than her own kind. Since coming to Valkyrie she's made friends with Minske's pointer, Seibra. The dog can often be found in the field sleeping by where the filly is grazing. It's a sweet relationship, and Liv seems a lot more comfortable when Seibra's brought along to the track when it's time to run. |
Racing style: Mid-Pack/Closer
Liv loads like a charm and only gets uncomfortable in the gate if another horse is causing a big scene. She tends to break a step slow, and settles a little further back in the pack, though preferable close to another horse. She stays there comfortably until they round onto the stretch. While the frontrunners are duking it out and tiring themselves out, Liv comes from out of nowhere, charging up the track at her rider's urging. She doesn't back down from a challenge. She keeps nothing in reserve, and leaves her heart on the track. |
