Comments:
Tinker is the clown of the stable, she'll do anything to make you laugh at her. She's a tad stupid though and once went after Korona in play, thankfully she doesn't mess with Korona anymore, that was a hard lesson learned. She likes her own space but will invade yours without a second thought. Tinker has a big floaty stride and moves easily despite her strapping size. She has a tongue thing though and rarely will she be seen without it out, even in a workout she'll press her tongue against the bit or slide it out under the bit. She is her own little piece of uniqueness. Tinker will definately be a pretty good racing filly as her speed is incredible and her haunches are perfect for good, fast starts. Over the past few months she has really bonded with Jewel and they will be a hard team to beat when Tinker gets out to the racetrack. Possibly one of the last Valentino fillies and foals in general we aim on making her sire proud as well as see Tinker live up to our standards.
She was have been born and raised by SCR until she was six months old but since then she has been carefully monitored and cared for by the entire staff making her disciplined and a horse who knows how to mind their manners. Now a game, and hard working filly who is ready to go postward in her first race Tinker has matured greatly. She is much less dumb than she was as a yearling and has gone oblivious to her surroundings. She is also attached to no one but Jewel, but like every horse at Whitebrook she tolerates being handled by others but she doesn't perform very well unless Jewel is in her saddle. She is a sprinter, as we have learned from her last couple of weeks of training, but she has to get out front early on. She gets rank and agitated if she breaks badly, but they do happen and Jewel knows how to ride her when she gets like that.
