Personality
Nista is a DIVA. She simply thinks that in all things she should be served first. When she isn't the first one fed or lead out into the mare's paddock, she will surely pout and throw a slight fit. All around though she is a well behaved mare. When she was a racer, Nista was a formidable front-runner! All you had to do was hold her till the right moment and be sure she had a clear path and there was nothing that would get in her way of the win.
Comments from Original Owner Brandy:
We needed another racer for our tiny racing string at the end of 2008 so when we saw this piece of work filly up for grabs at SAI, we couldn't help ourselves. But really, Nista is quite a handful. She's absolutely breathtaking, especially when she runs and she has the determination that is needed to become a champion. When out on the track, she will stop at nothing to defeat whomever is in her way and if allowed to, she will run herself into the ground trying to keep up. Once her dark eyes target the leader, she will use her sheer ferocity and fiery speed to bust out of the pack. She's got blinding speed in her but will waste it all if any one other than her jockey, Joshua, rides her. Josh caught sight of Nista when she first arrived at CCI, all wide-eyed and insane, and he fell head over heels in love and we are thrilled that we have someone crazy enough to ride this nut. Roger helps Josh with Nista because she is legitimately insane and is a danger if not watched and trained carefully. It's a win-win situation because Josh is more than happy to have Roger's expertise and tips about racing. Josh enjoys the challenge of handling and breezing Nista and the two are a match made in heaven... Or hell, in Nista's case! Most of the people around the barn keep away from Nista and she requires careful handling around the barn. She is the barn's resident diva and always wants her food first, expects to be with another horse at all times... This horse HAS to be one that she likes and there are few horses she does. The only two we've found are Saphira and Lila so the three are in private turn-out by the racing barn. Needless to say, Nista is very high-maintenance and expects service! She's not neccesarily neurotic... or at least, not all the time. Josh loves her though, with her attitude and spirit and we all can't help but love her too. Her successes have proved our pains and troubles worth it. She's the next big thing, we're sure of it! - Brandy - CCI
History and Pedigree Information
Not much is known about her history. We do know that she did reside at CCI Cold Creedk Inc. and then resided with Sam at GHF. After disappearing, she was reclaimed and we instantly we knew we wanted this gal. She has a few impressive wins and places to her name and are now eager to see what kind of turf sprinters she will produce for us here at Intrepid Racing.
