12 yr old 17hh OTTB who, after a whopping 17 days with his former owner, is now my project pony. All opinions welcome! :)

Did he do something naughty with the previous owner ?

No, she doesn't actually ride and her daughter is afraid of him due to his size. He's actually incredibly easy to work with and learns very quickly!

Thanks, I think he's got loads of potential.
You should have seen him when he first arrived! He's put on loads in the past 2 weeks. Still has a ways to go, but we're getting him there.
 
I believe OTTB stands for Off-Track Thoroughbreds - though Im not sure what exactly the parameters are for such a qualification. Anyhow, that definitely is a beautiful horse. Congrats! So I take it the previous owner neglected him pretty badly, huh?

He needs a bit more condition, but I am sure you know that. Looks like you have yourself a gorgeous horse! He is stunning. Gorgeous. What is a OTTB? What is his name?

OTTB Is off the track thoroughbred, or an ex-racehorse. His official name is Green Collar

Thanks, I don't really know much of his previous history. Do know they bought him in that state, so it wasn't their doing. Been trying to find out more about him, and from what I've been able to find online he was still racing in 2008 so hasn't been off the track for all that long! A friend of mine works with racehorses and knows the man who initially trained him so hopefully I'll get some more info! :D But the plan is to get some (more) weight on him, get him back into work, and go from there. I think he'd make a decent jumper, but that's still a ways away!
 
I have to say he looks lovely conformation wise and has a really nice head on him. My question is, how on earth did you get him to stand in such a lovely pose for the picture?!!

What are you intentions with him? I assume he was a NH horse? Would love to see what his jump's like!

The pose was a fluke! lol I was trying to just get some pics of him in general and he came to a dead stop from a gallop in that stance. So I got snapping!

He did a lot of point to point. the video of his maiden over fences race that i saw was ok, he ran much better after tossing his rider off! :rolleyes:

would like to jump him, he's built more for that than dressage & his movement shows this as well. too much of a chicken to do eventing, but wouldn't mind popping around a course of jumps again.

I would love to see another photo of him in two months time - with some good grub and some muscle on, he will be a stunner!

I think so too. Overall, I think I got darn lucky that a horse like this just landed at my yard. definitely a keeper.
 
How long has he been off the track? He looks racing fit to me but I might be wrong.

Needs a bit of condition and topline on him but his shoulder is nice.

Sorry, tried to edit the above as some of the stuff is irrelevent...anyway, he raced a total of 13 times. On the flat, over hurdles and point to point. Only managed one placing in a p2p coming 3rd. So not brilliant as a racer but does mean he can jump:)
 
I think he's definitely built for jumping - some power there! You'll have to keep us updated as to how he gets on.
 
I think he is a lovely looking boy and a nice stamp - complete with a jumpers bum. Being picky (as you asked) he has long pasterns but like his over all picture.

Just one word of warning (from someone who learnt the hard way), hurdlers are taught to "fly" through the top of the fences so keep an eye on that when he jumps to ensure he has some respect. Mine didn't and ended up somersaulting. Would be great if you could see the last videos of him jumping as then you will get an idea - and hopefully he will be one of the horses who is too careful and spends too much time in the air.

and while its obviously not your cup of tea, he does have "event" written all over him!

I saw the video of his maiden hurdle race, and he unseated his rider after the second fence. :rolleyes: See what you mean about them flying though - and he did seem to go pretty flat over them.
