The barn crew loves Flit. Flit is one of the most energetic and friendly horses in the barn, but she still needs to be handled by an experienced hand. It isn't easy to focus her, hence her nickname "Flit" because she simply flits from one person or horse or activity to another. She wants to see so much and so her natural curiosity makes Flit a bold and courageous explorer. There is little that can intimidate her and she can often become a bit pushy because of her need to understand and know. Flit is a larger filly with a bright personality and so she isn't very accustomed to being told "no". So sometimes when she doesn't get her way, on an off day, Flit can throw a royal temper tantrum. She can be extremely stubborn, a trait that she undoubtedly got from her sire. Her training was a bit taxing, as we had to learn how to focus the high energy filly and to also learn how to get her to think our way.

The trick with Flit is to get her passions stirred up. There's nothing Flit responds to better than some competition that slights her. Her more sensitive nature means that when she feels slighted by the competition well..."hell hath no fury than a woman scorned". Flit fights on the track with pure grit, talent and intelligence. On race day, she's a bounding presence and it isn't out of the norm for her to act up a bit in the post parade. She loads with flair and style, not minding the metal contraption, but she can get ansty if it takes too long to open. Flit being a bigger filly, never really breaks fast from the gate, but this suits her style just fine. Running in the back satisfies her demanding need to see everything. Gifted with speed and endurance, there's nothing Flit loves more than to let the competition think she's out of the game and then at the end, when the leaders fade and the mid-pack presses down upon the leaders, that Flit loves to flit right on by the competition as if there were standing still.
