This stunning huge guy is, in our humble opinion, one of the nicest horses we have listed this year — gorgeous, beautifully put together and balanced for his size, super kind and ammy friendly, a very good mover, solid boned, sound and clean legged, great sport horse pedigree by Laoban from the Uncle Mo line, and he is offered at a very enticing price that makes getting him a no brainer. Bowing Snowman’s owner/trainer says that this is “the nicest, kindest horse I have ever had” — and the trainer is an old timer who has had a lot of horses over the years, so this is high praise indeed. The trainer also reports that in the 3+ years he has had his beloved Bowing Snowman, the horse has always been very sound and has never had any physical issues or any sort. He also has no vices — unless you consider how he has perfected the art of begging for carrots and apples a vice! If you are the lucky person who gets this horse, be prepared to have lots of treats on hand! Bowing Snowman has been a good consistent racehorse — indeed last year he won so many races that he was voted claiming horse of the year at Finger Lakes. But this year he hasn’t won, and is telling his trainer that he would rather move on to a new career. Bowing Snowman showed very good movement for his jog video, with a big strided walk and a lofty trot with good push from behind and nice reach from the shoulders. In the first jog video linked below, he is being handled by the trainer’s son. Before the son handled him, the trainer himself, who cannot go at more than a slow shuffle, jogged Bowing Snowman, and to underscore what a kind polite horse this is, big Bowing Snowman politely adjusted his pace and collected himself to slowly stay right alongside his trainer; in the process he showed impressive collection and loft, which left us thinking he could do quite well in the dressage arena. You can see this in the second jog video linked below. We also had a chance to talk with someone who has galloped Bowing Snowman in the mornings, and we were told that he is a great horse, a gentleman to ride. Bowing Snowman is by Laoban, a son of the great Uncle Mo. Laoban is rapidly becoming known in the sport horse world for siring big leggy very ammy friendly kind horses with great brains, good movement, and jumping ability. Bowing Snowman’s dam, Wild and Windblown, is by Broken Vow, who is by Unbridled, and out of a mare by Deputy Minister — both coveted sport horse sires. Other notable good sport horse sires in his pedigree include Speightstown, Gone West, Nijinsky, Fappiano, Pleasant Colony. We expect this big guy will be very popular, so if you are seriously interested act fast!
