Dark and dappled describes this lovely filly who has had one lackluster start as a three-year old (earning a whopping $326). She’s extremely pretty, with a beautiful face and slightly dished profile. We loved her beautiful, arched neck and very elegant, feminine appearance! She’s described as a sound sweetheart whose only vice is that she is a confirmed “treat hound”. We’re told that she doesn’t have any other issues, just that her owner and trainer feel that as she doesn’t have tons of potential as a racehorse and as they suspect that she won’t hold up to long term racing on the hard FL dirt track to try and grind it out; they’d like to do right by her now and responsibly rehome her while she is sound and happy with unlimited potential as a sport horse. Which is awesome news for you! She’s reported to be good in her stall, with no vices but generally, a friendly, “in-your-pocket” kind of horse. And that’s exactly what we observed. Although she’s young and fit, she’s described as being nice to ride. Anyone experienced with OTTB reschooling who is looking for an affectionate, young filly should find her to be a delightful restart. In her jog video, we observed elegant, fluid, floaty movement even though she was missing a hind shoe. We could see her excelling in many disciplines- basically, in whatever direction you might choose to go! Cocoa Beware has good breeding for sport; she is by Leofric (Candy Ride) with Unbridled lineage on her sire side and is out of a Freud mare. Be prepared to come with references for this one as her contacts will be very selective in choosing her next home.
