Y19 Standout Personality Award
Y20 Best Dirt Horse
In a way, Unbroken was given his name out of a sense of irony. The way that he acts, you would expect that something in him is broken mentally. To put it simply, Broke is crazy. He takes the goofiness of his sire to an entirely new level. Constantly loud, Broke used to compete with his sire for loudest neigher in the barn until he was moved out to Stride Of Perfection. Now, he's simply the loudest, and he's always on the move. This is a horse that cannot abide staying in his stall. He must be out and about and if kept in his stall he's likely to break out and go for a tour of the property. He constantly interacts with his environment, whether that be rubbing his nose against the wall or trotting around with a jolly ball in his mouth. There is no horse more curious or energetic in the barn. Broke is never bored. He is friendly to just about everyone he encounters, horse or human, and is highly affectionate with those he knows, though his form of affection involves pushing his favorite human around. Broke is strong, built like a tank with the toughness to match. You would never expect it from his personality, but Broke is also one of the mentally toughest horses in the barn. Nothing deters him; no string of defeats will ever discourage this horse from trying just as hard next time out, and any unfriendly horse is simply met by a neigh and repeated, undeterred attempts to befriend them. In many ways, Broke is the cutest horse of his crop. He's almost impossible not to love, even though his noise level can be very annoying!
Leg Type: Stalker
Broke is most like his record-breaking dam when he is on the track. He maintains his goofy personality all the way up to the gates and beyond, perhaps overly affectionate with the gate handlers and with his paddock pony. Broke breaks with the best of them and likes to place himself somewhere near the front. He is very responsive to his jockey's commands, just as his dam was, and typically finds himself just off the hot speed. He'll let a horse or three run on ahead of them and simply take a spot in the backseat, loving the feel of horses both ahead and behind. He's content to sit until his jockey tells him to go or until midway through the final turn. It's at that point in time that Broke makes his move, ears perked and eagerness high. He'll stop playing around and sweep to the lead, bold strides engulfing whoever was up front and sweeping right on by. Broke tends to have a devastating move for a stalker, one that seems to come from nowhere. This could be because once Broke starts running, he is determined to go at top speed and stay there. He takes full advantage of being given his head and goes for it. Broke loves to run - nothing else can satisfy his high energy level - and winning, with all of the affection he gets from it, makes him want to please his rider every time he's out on the track. Speed is the name of the game with this one, and he seeks to go to the front with the most speed possible and draw away. It's always hard to shut him down once he's past the wire.
