True Heart |
His PersonalityTrue is a sweet boy but, please do not let him fool you. He is a tough stallion and while he loves getting pampered and groomed while also napping in the pasture most days on the track, True was an inspiration. He is very playful but, tends to act like a two year old. He loves to run at that and while he is a complete gentle boy he was a monster on the track. He is a very powerful stallion. True loves to run and only stops running when he feels he has had enough this comes with his strong energetic streak. He is a very sweet nature boy when coming to Nature Blue Stables. He is a bit nervous at first but, will come to like others eventually when he warms up to others. True was one of the top racehorses Green Horse Fields had ever seen, hence the Hall Of Fame title.
True was Merry Bay King's top rival; the two had a very personal rivalry. In every race it was always True and King competing through the grades, going for that win and the most glory. Unfortunately, when True was about four he went on a breeding spree. It was this breeding spree that damaged his career, and many of his foals were never heard of again. Some of them still race on the tracks, but many have fallen back, never to be remembered. At Meadow Creek Farm's closing sale, Amber Black of Stride of Perfection Stables, had eyes only for True Enough and Flash At Dawn, a flashy mare by Flash Of Lightning. They were both taken back home. True's future career right now lies in the hands of Nature Spring Acre Studs breeding program. He is coming close to a retirement date and only being offered the best. |
His StyleTrue was an inspiring front runner out on the tracks. The gate was no problem for a horse such as this. When the gate was open True Enough pulled to the lead with an incredible pace that he would keep throughout half of the race. He was a short monster gliding over both surfaces with much force that kept his strides perfect. He moved to the middle of the track where he would soon fall back in the middle of the backstretch matching then with the other front runners of the pack. True knew when his time was up and with that the colt gained speed pushing off others and gaining the lead with hope in his eyes.

His Progeny
True Enough is what many would call a legend in his time along with rivals Merry Bay King and Bank on Silver. The stallion flourished under Stride of Perfection stables even in the breeding barn. He is now finishing off his stud career with Nature Spring Acre's. True can be paired with any mare offered to him whether it be dirt or turf as he is known to produce from both surfaces, the mare can be any measure of temperament but stables please be forewarned that True Enough is a very flirtatious stallion this trait has been known to pass onto his foals.
Stud Fee: $100,000
