Personality: Eva came to OVS after being somewhat forgotten at her former barn. Not much was known when she was delivered, but after having some time to settle in, her personality is becoming apparent. Very smart and quick to learn, Eva has already let her presence be known around the grounds. Within the first week she out-smarted two grooms and was found grazing in Felicity's front yard. She is a devoted mare and once she finds something to focus on, she spends all her time and energy on that task. Being a racehorse, this can be advantageous if she can get her attention on racing. Early on in training she has shown she loves to run and is capable of doing so, so long as there is competition around. Breezing the mare without a running partner has turned out to be disastrous. Instead of being focused on running, Eva devotes her time to playing with the jockey. Many riders have gotten frustrated with the mare as she does the exact opposite of what is asked. But put another horse in front of her and suddenly she will do whatever it takes to beat them. Eva is rather laid back during down time and spends her afternoons soaking up the sun. Though she prefers to be around other horses during training or races, she actually enjoys the company of people more than horses when it comes to being turned out. For this reason she has a large paddock attached to her stall, allowing her to skirt the grooms as they do their chores. She is very people oriented and turns into a big lap dog if you are willing to give her a peppermint. Tacking up can turn into a episode if the grooms do not know to tack up quickly and quietly. Once she gets the hint that she will be running, her sire's fiery spirit comes out in full force.
Racing Style: Eva has shown OVS that she highly prefers to run mid-pack during the race. She likes to break early but will ease back to settle in her place at the back of the group. Even though she is a spitfire before the race, she tends to settle down once she is actually running. Being such a devoted horse, she will stick to her mid-pack position and proceed to watch the going-ons around her. She reads every horses' moves and will adjust her speed with the adjustments around her. Though she likes to stick with her position, she does not mind giving up her position every now and then to get into a better spot to take over the leaders. Closers can be her weak spot as she often forgets they are behind her, but that is where her jockey steps in and reminds her where they are. Towards the end of the race all it takes is a tap of the crop and Eva will kick it up another speed to catch up with the leaders and pass them.
