This adorable solid bodied cute guy is ready to charm his way into your heart.  Chia Spice is letting his connections know that he just isn’t interested in racing this year, and that he would prefer a new career.  As his owner/trainer says, he is a very smart horse, “too smart to run anymore.”  He is sound, quiet, friendly, and a cute mover.  With his smaller but solid stature, we can see him as a great barrel racing horse, and his trainer says he would make a great kid’s horse.  Pony club, 4 H, local hunters, western, trails…. we can see this cutie quickly adapting to all of these disciplines. In our experience, the mature horses like Chia Spice who have raced well (he has hit the board in more than 50% of his starts) and are still sound, are very durable and easily transition to new jobs, and have many more years to give — especially when they have great brains like Chia does. He is from the Danzig sire line, out of a mare with Halo and Deputy Minister close up, so there is a lot of sport/jumping potential in his pedigree.
