You don’t have to be a math genius to see that this handsome, still growing young horse has outstanding potential for a sport horse career. We think people looking for an upper level event, dressage, or jumper prospect should pick up the phone and quickly come see this horse! Calculus is described as completely sound, has very clean legs, and is athletically built with good bone, a great shoulder and good hip angles. Since he is only three, he will definitely grow some more, and should top out at over 16.1.  We think he will be a stunner once filled out and fully grown.  He is also a friendly good boy, and we saw him nuzzle his handler and show great interest in his surroundings. Another trainer in the same shed row who watched his photo session also vouched to us that Calculus is a well behaved and very nice horse. Lightly raced, Calculus developed a dislike of the starting gate, which requires him to find a new career.  But racing’s loss is your gain, because it presents a rare opportunity to get such a nice young athletic clean legged horse. Although he was obviously feeling good for his jog video, since he had only been walked for a week since his final race, Calculus was very respectful of his handler, and showed big movement that should show quite well in the dressage arena.  He has excellent sport breeding, by Corinthian, a son of Pulpit who is by AP Indy, and out of a mare who  recently sold for $90,000 as a broodmare and who hails from one of the best families in the American stud book, replete with many champions for the Phipps family. Do not hesitate to call — this spectacular young horse should go fast!
