Year Fifteen Encouragement Award
Animatia received her name because she is constantly hyperactive. Tia has enough energy to power the universe, really! She is constantly on the move, constantly on an everlasting quest for things to do. Tia loves to work. She loves to burn her energy off on the track or through doing other activities. Tia has fantastic conditioning because of her constant need for physical activity, though nothing quite satisfies this need more than running. She loves it. When Tia is not trying to satisfy her constant need for activity, she can be one of two things - affectionate or bratty. When Tia is affectionate, it is because she recognizes the person she is interacting with and is willing to be nice to them for some reason or another, perhaps because they have done something for her in the past. With everybody else, Tia is nothing short of aggressive. She is nippy and crabby unless somebody is approaching with food, and even then she is wary because she is intelligent enough to know that food can serve as a ploy. Tia is not afraid to bite if a stranger invades her personal bubble. It takes a lot of work to break through her shell to see her affectionate side.
Leg Type: Variable
Energetic horses like Tia are typically not as tactical as she is. Tia is the exception among the typical. When Tia steps onto the track, she is always vibrating with energy, and only her aggressive side makes an appearance. She cannot be ridden alongside a pony on her warm-up around the track - she must be ridden alone in order to preserve the safety of others. And when she is on the track, Tia absolutely cannot stop moving. She cannot stand still for even a moment. The gates are torture for her, and because of this Tia is loaded last. When those gates open, Tia is often the first out of the hated contraption. She then picks virtually any position in the field to run in. She is smart enough to run in any position, and nothing seems to govern which of the positions she will choose to run in except for her current fancy. There is no one position she favors or assumes more than the others. As such, while Tia's pre-race behavior is predictable her actual racing tactics are a wildcard. No matter what, though, Tia is difficult to pull up after a race and must be kept in constant motion even then. Anything requiring her to stand still must be accomplished off of the racetrack.
