This gorgeous grey hunk is a laid back friendly horse and a lovely mover with a great sport horse pedigree. He is lightly raced, with one win earlier this year in his three starts. His owner passed away this spring, and all of his breeding stock was dispersed and the racing stable is also being trimmed of horses that are not going to be winners a the highest levels. Hence, First Sons is available to find a new career where he can excel. With his solid bodied good looks and movement, we can see that new career being in the show hunter ring, the dressage arena, or eventing. His trainer reports that First Sons is a quiet horse who is good to work with and has no vices. Since the decision was made to find him a non-racing career, he hasn’t been doing much in the way of track exercise for the past couple of months, yet he came out for his photos and jog video as chill as a cucumber. The trainer told us that he puts First Sons on the walking machine with his excitable young horses in order to babysit them and keep them calm. The trainer informed us that First Sons has had no injuries that he is aware of. We observed clean legs. First Sons jogged quietly on a loose lead and displayed a fluid floaty flat kneed trot with a low head set and good reach from his shoulders. He is sired by Cupid, who is a son of Tapit. His dam is by El Prado, who is a son of Sadler’s Wells. Since so many people love greys and everyone wants a big bodied young good moving gelding with a quiet temperament, we expect First Sons to be a popular offering, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with the contact person if you are seriously interested.
