This in-your-pocket boy is described as very level-headed and has a sweet, soulful look. When we first met him in his stall, we quickly discovered that he loves attention, is quite snuggly, and enjoys nose kisses. We were told that he’s generally good in his stall and his only vice is to occasionally kick at the wall when there is commotion. This is not an issue on the farm where he receives lots of turn out and is in a quieter atmosphere. He’s also very playful- so his handler is careful to keep things out of reach unless she wants to watch him toss them around his stall, because he loves toys. He’s a happy boy who likes other horses and is friendly with both horses and people. He really enjoys farm life and turnout.

We’re told that he’s quieter and the farm and more forward at the track, but…. that’s not an especially fast gear. His owner stated that he’s so laid-back that she trusted him enough to ride him this spring as she started coming back from maternity time off and before he started race training. She told us that she got her fitness workout on the training track just trying to get or keep him galloping (you have to love a lazy Thoroughbred!). Now, his exercise riders report that he is a quiet, lazy, happy horse to ride. But with two races under his belt, he hasn’t shown more promise as a racehorse. Even his workouts are slow. He has a race entry for 11/18, but unless he “suddenly speeds up”, everyone agrees that he’s probably going to find more success as a show pony rather than as a go pony. His owner thinks that this super-chill, practically blank slate would be a good candidate for the RRP makeover and she sees him as a potential hunter / jumper prospect.

We thought he had a leggy, elegant appearance. We observed a nice overstep at the walk and as he is being prepped for a race early next week, he was quite happy to show off a little, displaying an animated, prancy jog.
