Cali is known around the barn for her headstrong temperament combined with an aggressive streak. While not always willing to resort to teeth and hooves to get her way, she is certainly stubborn about getting what she wants. Cali is an intelligent mare who knows how to assert herself and has no problems doing so. She is not tolerant of things she finds irritating and will quickly move to eliminate such annoying stimuli as she sees fit. Cali demands respect in every situation. Though typically calm, she can and will use aggression to get the respect that she feels she deserves, though typically Cali will leave her fellow equines alone and not act aggressively towards anyone. She treats her humans just as she treats equines, demanding respect and thus showing respect in return. When in a mood, it is best to let Cali have her way, as she is very stubborn and will not concede. When in a more obliging mood, however, Cali will do as she is asked without question. She can be a very sweet and reliable mare if shown the respect she feels she deserves.
Leg Type: Front Runner/Stalker Combo
Cali maintains a similar personality on the track compared to how she is off of it. She demands respect and will not tolerate being tugged around by a gate handler or by her jockey. Meredith Mahon knows just how to tango with prickly horses and was a perfect match for the gray mare. Gating is not an easy task for Cali; she hates the confinement. As an older horse now, though, Cali loads professionally, but in larger fields she must be loaded last. Once the gate opens, Cali bursts from it and takes a spot at the front. She likes to take the lead to start and then drop back halfway to let others have a turn somewhere in the backstretch, conserving her energy for the final run. Once called to run around the final turn, Cali is quick to respond, accelerating to the lead and aiming to turn down any and all challengers that rise to threaten her position. To win is to be respected, and Cali likes nothing more than that.
