There are horses that I meet that I just would absolutely love to land in a top pro's barn because I think they have all the right pieces to be special. You truly can't ever know what it takes to be an upper level horse in terms of heart but I feel like I have always been pretty good with my assessment of these special types. Everything about this one just makes me a bit giddy. Right now he is big and gangly so I think not everyone will look at him and see it but the walk/canter/gallop are so good. The hind leg on this horse. The way he uses his body to compress and then open up. The neck connection is lovely. He is weedy, needs weight and muscle and just time but what a horse!
My Pal Sky- 4yr 16.2 h gelding sired by My Pal Charlie out of a Skywalker mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/my+pal+sky Jade Favre actually messaged me and said you have room I think you need this one. I mean she knows what she is looking at so even if I don't have room I was like sure let's do it :) Horses give you a gut feeling and she said two steps of jog and she knew. I saw it as well.
He has done a lot of shipping and being a growthy big baby he is in my get fat program :) He is super well mannered. Extremely sweet and cuddly. He earned high remarks from Brooke for his excellent barn manners. Will stand there all day for grooming/cuddles. We started a little lunging just to get him figuring out where all the parts are going.
In the free area I just think he is so darn special. You can see what that canter can do for you. If this one doesn't jump a big fence, I don't know what will.
He has now had a few rides and each ride he just comes out with more understanding than the last. Incredible work ethic on this horse. He is learning to stretch and open up his body a bit laterally. When I watch him, I just can't help but grin. I know this is all just baby stuff but when you know...you know.... The canter...my god that canter. Sure, you only get glimpses but sometimes that is all you see. I really am just dying to have a sit myself so maybe tomorrow because I have have wicked jealousy :) Everything about him just makes me want to get on him and have a feel.
He ran 3x and is retiring sound, no injuries and has no vices.
