This cute filly greatly enjoyed the scritches and attention from our volunteers, and her trainer affirmed that she is a complete sweetheart. She reports that Barbara’s Spirit is an easy keeper who is a very good girl to handle and work with, good for the farrier, “good for anything you do with her,” as her trainer said. But what Barbara is not good at is racing — she has ten starts with nothing better than a single third place finish to show for it. While racing may not be her strong suit, she has unlimited potential for a new career! We admired Barbara’s cute face, her compact and balanced build, and strong shoulder. We saw her just a couple of days after she had raced, and our observation was that she was a bit tight behind — something that many horses experience after racing on the hard dirt track at Finger Lakes. As Barbara jogged politely for her handler, the tightness eased, and she showed good push from behind and a nice trot with a light spring to it. Her trainer told us that Barbara’s Spirit is sound and has no history of any injuries. Barbara’s Spirit is by Mor Spirit, who is from the Giant’s Causeway sire line and out of a mare from the Dixie Union/Dixieland Band sire line. Barbara’s Spirit’s dam also brings in very desirable sport horse lines. She is sired by Yes It’s True who is from Raja Baba/Bold Ruler and Clever Trick/Icecapade lines. Her female family is from Deputy Minister lines. This lovely filly presents a great opportunity to get a very nice young horse at and end of the racing season at a bargain price.
