Heart of Rio
#1278
Rio conquered the older mare division like a pro going from Grade Four to Grade one just under one season. She is proven to be a classy mare and while being lightly raced she sure brought her true colors with Nature Spring Acre's.

Her PersonalityRio really is a little monkey, though she is a joy to have around! She cannot stay clean for two minutes, she is groomed in the morning, put out in the field and by dinner time she looks like a black filly. She is a sweetheart and means well, though she can be extremely mischievous and cause a little trouble. She is extremely inquisitive and love to explore and get herself into trouble.
She may sometimes get on the other horses’ nerves but she is just too sweet to nip at. Rio loves to play with the other horses, but she does like to wander off on her own sometimes. She seems very easily amused and can entertain herself for hours. She has a good set of long, muscular legs and a long stride which just carry her around her field all day long. She runs with grace and ease. She enjoys being on the track and gets a little giddy when she is under saddle, though nothing nasty. Rio will make a fine racehorse without a doubt, she passion and talent will take her far. |
Her StyleRio is eager to run. She is a quick breaker and settles behind the front runners. She remains in her position throughout the race, but her and her jockey fight to make sure she is not boxed in, therefore they can make their move when the time comes. Rio likes to make her move just before the front runners, so she can get around them on the home straight. She proceeds around the front horses and battles with the leader up to the finish line.

Her Progeny
While lightly raced and moved around, Rio has had a terrific life here at Nature Blues. She is a stunning mare who just loves to get a little dirty and prove herself worthy to run with the boys. She can run the distances and will pass on her stamina to her progeny. Her sweetness can be matched with any stallion and will have open bookings when retired.
