From the Starting Gate to the Show Arena—Helping Former Racehorses Gallop Into Your Heart
VOLKER RULES, 2020 15.3h bay gelding
Located at Finger Lakes Racetrack, Farmington, NY (Near Rochester)
If you’re looking for an adorable, lightly raced young horse with loads of personality and unlimited potential for sport horse disciplines, Volcker is your guy. His trainer says he’s a cute and friendly horse who is very good to handle, and we saw this for ourselves as he stood perfectly without being tied while being groomed for his photoshoot and offered his nose to volunteers for smooches. His race connections say that Volcker is sound, never had any injuries, has no vices, but he’s just too slow to be a racehorse, and that he much prefers napping to racing! He has a compact uphill build and solid bone, and the most adorable face. Volcker Rules was perfectly behaved during his jog despite some excitement next to him by horses on the walker. He displayed a natural over track at the walk and a cute flat kneed jog that would show well in the hunter ring. Volcker is by Central Banker, a son of Speightstown, who is quickly becoming a favorite sport horse sire, known for offspring who are good jumpers, have ammy-friendly brians, and versatile off-track abilities in multiple disciplines. Volcker’s dam is by Data Link, from the War Front/Danzig line, and her dam is from the Johannesburg/Hennessey sire line. Volcker Rules is offered at a bargain price for a young, sound, cute, good moving gelding with a lot more growing to do.
