Personality
† Luci is a very affectionate filly. She demands constant attention and love from everyone around the farm. You just have to give her a pat when you pass her stall, if you do not she will whinny like crazy until you go back and give her some attention. She has an amazing racing spirit and a great attitude. She is sure to show amazing potential. History & Breeding
† Luci was bred by Meadow Creek Farm and Green Horse Stables. Her and her twin sister, Euphoria, was born at Green Horse Stables and then split up. Luci was raised at Meadow Creek Farm while Euphoria stayed at Green Horse Stables. Eventually, Meadow Creek Farm had to sell off their entire stock because of a personal issue. Kirsten had been eying this filly for a long time and when she found out that Meadow Creek Farm was going under she jumped at the chance of owning the amazing filly. However, Sarah from Green Horse Stables also wanted to get the filly back in her stable. They agreed upon half ownership of the filly. Kirsten took Luci home to Akita Rose Stables to start off and started conditioning her to race. She had raced better than thought and won some major races such as the Youth Challenge, Unicorn Horn Dirt, Seaspray Cup, some Memorial races and the Breeder's Cup Classic. She is now retired and ready to be a mom. We hope for some great foals from this chestnut beauty. |

† Luci LOVES to race. It is in her blood. Once she has a good look at the leader, she will not let them win. She has an amazing amount of stamina and will give most horses a run for their money. She loves to run just off the pace at the beginning and then gradually pick up the pace to get to the front. She is a strong racer and does not tire that easily so she almost never fades to the back of the pack. She goes out on the track with an attitude to win and will not let any little thing stop her. Racing is not other then in her blood, it is in her heart. |
