 Racket- 7yr 16.3 h gelding sired by Will Take Charge out of a The Factor mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/racket13 Racket had 44 starts for 107k and last raced on 8/17/26. Retiring sound, no injuries and no vices. I LOVE the breeding on this one for sport. Just wow!!!!

My friend was raving about this guy and said I really needed him. His track pictures honestly did him no justice. I think sometimes it is just hard to capture them because when I stepped in the trailer to see him I just thought wow this horse is so classy. He has the most stunning head/eye. I am so big on a horses eye and his is just beautiful. She watched him train/race and really thought he was special. I absolutely agree.

I think his pictures are more impressive than his videos at the moment but it has been fun to watch that change very quickly!!! If you are a total geek like me this process is the coolest because you can visually see a difference in each video. He is an older horse who has been running a lot and raced right before arrival. This track is pretty notorious for making them really tight in the hind end which he is right now but each week is better. He also has some good bruising on his feet. All that essentially means that this one will just take a wee bit more time to show off but if you know what you are looking at it is very very apparent what he will be in my opinion.

We have done three rides on him. Two in the ring and one out in the field and this horse is just all class! Walks around on a loose rein. He truly has the nicest canter. Beautiful mover. Wicked smart and figuring out how to stretch, bend and use all his parts. He is fancy but also so rideable making him one that I think anyone would feel comfortable just getting on and going to work. He is RRP eligible obviously. He has handled a ring full of horses going every direction some coming right at him all like it's no big deal. Zero drama!

He headed right out to the xc field and marched around all the jumps like a total champ! I mean first time jumping I never feel like any horse show textbook form but he was so so game. His ears were pricked and he was like cool this is different but I am going to figure it out. He happily jumped logs, barrels, pipes and more. Then just casually strolled around. It is beyond hot and buggy and he handled himself so well.

He has been nothing but perfect with everything in the barn, turnout, stall, etc. He is just so chill. I absolutely LOVE this horse. I think he will be one that will event, hunt, etc. We will be getting him out on the trails and such when the weather calms itself down.
