KATERINA'S LOVE

(GENERAL workout)[/center]
Terri wanted to see how Kat would do on a general workout. The Jockey knew Katerina's Love did not have the best attitude in fact she was quite nervous of the filly. Climbing up on the horses back she took the reins and remembered what Mason told her to do. Taking the filly to the start which was good that she wasn't starting in the gate since the Filly hated the metal cage. Terri gave a small kick to the filly making a hiya sound and Katerina's Love was off on the run. Running at a normal pace seemed to be Kat's choice to keep her pace.
Coming up to the first turn Terri showed her whip and loosened up the reins gently waving the whip to her hind quarters so Kat knew it was there and she gained more stamina expanding her stride of her feet ears folded back running her every heart out. Katerina's distance was 9-12 furlongs or suppose to be and this workout was to get Katerina's Love pumped up and more in shape for races to come. The first few furlongs were finished in no time and so Katerina drove for more gaining a little bit more speed but, not too much she still had ground to cover.
The filly raised her head once as if she was frustrated with this speed and Terri understood and grabbed the reins more having the filly pick up the pace and the filly did just that. Kat ran faster and turned the last corner with more stride breathing softly baring her teeth from the bit in her mouth and saw the finish line showing more effort in her stamina as she threw dirt behind her galloping until the end where she then slowed down holding her head to the side while coming to a trot forward. When the filly came to stop she pounded her front right hoof on the ground as she calmed down just a bit. "Knock it off Kat, there's always tomorrow for another workout. Relax..." Terri said walking the filly back to the truck ready to head back to the stables.
