This handsome hunk is described by his trainer (who is also his exercise rider) as a very sweet, kind horse who is lovely to ride. He reports that First Sons is so sensible that he uses him to accompany his babies to the track, because he knows that First Sons’ unflappability and steadiness will keep the youngsters settled as well. He reports that First Sons is soft to gallop, never puts a foot wrong, and that he collects and frames up nicely, leading him to think that dressage might be an ideal new career. First Sons has a solidly boned balanced build with an impressive shoulder and a strong hind end. The trainer reports that First Sons has no vices, is good to work with, and is a friendly horse who likes to interact with people in a playful way. They had him on their farm over the winter, and he turned out well with other horses. First Sons had a digital flexor tendon injury 17 months ago, just below his ankle, and while it has fully healed it has left some residual scar tissue. The trainer reports that it does not bother him, and that he has been racing and training on it this year. They recently took ultrasounds and x-rays, which were reviewed by two vets who thought there were no issues or limitations for any new career. The trainer will make these recent x-rays and ultrasounds available to interested potential buyers. Although he was missing two shoes — one in front and one behind — for his jog video, he showed very nice flowing light movement. First Sons is by Cupid, a son of Tapit/Pulpit. His dam is from the El Prado/Sadler’s Wells line, and out of a mare from the Damascus line. These are all sire lines highly sought after in the sport horse world.
