Look at the gallop on my TB

[clairebearnz]

I can see why he didn't make a racehorse, even with his enormous gallop stride. He needed encouragement to even make it to gallop and then quite happily dropped back to trot when asked. He's a lazy 5 year old OTTB in a snaffle with a cavesson. Tally, on the other hand, firmly believes he's a racehorse and did an extra lap of the track as I couldn't get him to stop.

I just put Fready's entry in to Amberley PC ODE doing the 80cm. Nothing like throwing him in the deep end to see if he'll sink or swim.

Quite happily a sporthorse not a racehorse.

And the furry renegade, who very proudly out-trotted my friend's Standardbred on a hack the other day.

And my gorgeous big mare who is now sound (yay) and terrified of rugs (not so yay).

I have an equally lazy OTTB, got to love them. Love your guys, beautiful horses. Glad your mare's sound, onwards and upwards!

Every time I see his little face he reminds me so much of my last one - what is his breeding?

Fready is by an Australian stallion called Perfectly Ready (by More than Ready) out of a NZ mare called Miss Toffelees. He raced under the name of Fready Cougar. Thankfully, he was a somewhat useless racehorse. He's such a chilled out dude, half the time I forget he's only 5.
