This very handsome grey is also friendly and sweet – a real people horse. His groom described him as lovely to ride, and so quiet and well behaved that they use him to accompany and calm other race horses. We observed this in action, as she led him over to help retrieve a loose horse, and walked the two horses back together, with Mount Karakorum seeming to help steer his stablemate back to home. He has a good shoulder and hind end, and such a pretty elegant head. He will certainly get attention in the show ring. He is also a very nice mover, with the flat kneed toe pointing action that does well in the hunter ring. His trainer wants to retire him to a good new home because he is no longer running well. He has old and set osselets on his front ankles, but he is described as completely sound on them, and he certainly looked sound for his jog. There are some great jumping lines in his pedigree. His sire Wheelaway has produced some successful show horses, and he is from the Fappiano line famous for producing eventers and jumpers. His dam comes from His Majesty, Ribot, Prince John, and Never Bend lines – all well regarded for producing jumping ability.
