This handsome horse is everything that people say they are looking for: young, big, good bone, clean legs, sound, mellow with a friendly personality, and a great sport horse pedigree. A homebred of his track owner, he has been with his track trainer since he was a yearling, so you can get his entire history from her. She reports that he has never had any injuries or issues, and that he loves farm life and turns out great in a mixed herd, where he is middle of the pack. She says he is a cuddly sweetheart, and we saw this for ourselves as he begged for her attention and then licked her face as she stroked his! He is a peppermint hound, but she says that carrots are not to his liking. Ranger Blue showed nice even movement and a big walk for his video, as he jogged politely on a loose lead. After starting his racing career with promise, winning at the maiden special weight level and running second in a stakes race, he has not returned to that early racing success, so it is time to let him find a new career more to his liking. With his pedigree, strong shoulder and hip, and high neck set, we can see eventing or other sport horse disciplines in his future. He is by Micromanage, who is by Medaglia D’Oro from the Sadler’s Wells sire line — one of the most coveted sire lines for sport horse disciplines. His dam is from Skip Trial/Damascus, Halo and Northern Dancer lines. Micromanage has sired several horses who have become successful eventers, and he was retired from stud a couple of years ago and has become an ammy friendly all around sport horse who loves trail rides and has even foxhunted. We can see Ranger Blue following I his father’s footsteps.
